CLOSED-BOX CALIBRATION
The 3411 features closed-box calibration. The advantage of closed-box calibration is that the user
does not have to disassemble the case or make any mechanical adjustments to the 3411.
The torque readout can be calibrated using external reference sources. Correction factors for offset
and gain are stored in nonvolatile memory. They remain in effect until the user or the calibration
house updates them.
7.2
CALIBRATION SCHEDULE
Calibrate the 3411:
• After any repairs are performed.
• At least once a year; more frequently to ensure required accuracy.
7.3
BASIC CALIBRATION PROCESS
The basic calibration process consists of three steps which must be performed in the following order:
1. Initial Procedure
2. Torque Offset and Gain
3. Frequency Gain
Items needed for calibrating the 3411:
• External voltage reference of 0 to 10 volts DC
• Digital multimeter (DMM)
• Frequency generator capable of generating a square wave 0V to 5V
• Frequency meter capable of a measuring square wave 0V to 5V
Both measuring instruments should have a accuracy of 0.005% or better.

1. Allow the 3411 to stabilize in an environment with:
• An ambient temperature of 18°C to 25°C.
• Relative humidity less than 80%.
2. Turn on the 3411.
3. Allow the 3411 to warm up for at least 30 minutes.
