1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL 1000 Series Calibration Introduction The 1000 series of calibrators offer the smallest and by far the most portable multi product multi-function calibrator in the world.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Accuracy and Functionality The 1000 Series calibrators are available in a rugged portable case or a bench case. A rack mounting option is also available. True Multiproduct Calibration Designed to provide an accurate cost effective portable instrument for the calibration of multimeters, clamp meters, frequency meters and temperature meters. Designed for use in the laboratory or portable onsite calibration.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Preparing The Calibrator For Use. Initial inspection. After shipment the calibrator should be inspected for any signs of external damage. Should external damage be found contact the carrier immediately. Do not connect a damaged instrument to the line power as this may result in internal damage. Please retain the original packaging; this should be used when returning the calibrator for service and recalibration.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Positioning the Calibrator The 1000 series calibrator is available in a variety of different casings for use on site, on a bench or in a rack. Care should be taken when positioning the calibrator to ensure that items are not placed against the cooling vents.
00 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Power and Interface Connections Connections on the front panel are for Line Power via a 3 Pin IEC connector incorporating the Line fuse and on-off switch, and a Female Type B USB connector for interfacing with a computer.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Checking the Line Voltage Warning: The line power cord must have an earth conductor to avoid risk of shock. This instrument must be correctly earthed. The calibrator must be ordered with 100-120 Volt line supply or 220 - 240 Volt line supply option. Check that the line voltage matches the configured voltage before connecting the power to the instrument. The input voltage is indicated on the front panel underneath the power switch.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Warning: Ensure Line Power has been disconnected from the instrument before performing this procedure Using a Flat Head screwdriver, insert the end of the screw driver into the recess on the fuse holder. The screwdriver must be parallel to the front panel of the calibrator Once the screwdriver is in the recess of the fuse holder, gently hinge the fuse holder up (away from the front panel). Be careful not to damage the fuse holder by applying too much force.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Connecting to a computer A USB cable (supplied) should be used to connect the calibrator to a USB port on a computer. Connection Details Connection from calibrator to a computer : The USB connection on the 1000 series calibrator is a Female type B connection. Also supplied is a USB driver on CD : For details on installing USB driver see appendix A. TRANSMILLE LTD. Version 1.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Powering up the calibrator After connecting line power, the calibrator can be switched on with the line power switch above the mains inlet socket on the front panel. The fan will start and the front panel display will illuminate indicating power. The display will show a firmware version number and after a short delay, during which time the processor performs a self-test of the instrument, the display will show an output of 0.0000mV DC.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Output Connections Warning: Risk of shock. High voltages may be present on the output sockets. Output sockets are 4mm safety type, the voltage pair contacts are low thermal gold plated for minimum thermal EMF. The 1000 series calibrator’s outputs have been designed to allow most multimeters to be calibrated without changing connections. There are 4 sets of outputs: 1) Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency. 2) Current to 1A. 3) High 10A Current.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL It is recommended that the voltage and low current leads be high quality screened cable with gold plated 4mm plugs fitted. The cable must be able to withstand 1025 volts AC and have an insulation resistance greater than 1T to avoid introducing any shunting effect on the high resistance ranges.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Operation Safety Warnings WARNING: The information in this section is intended only for qualified personnel. The user must at all times be adequately protected from electric shock. Qualified personnel must ensure that operators of the equipment are adequately insulated from connection points. WARNING: This instrument is capable of generating both DC and AC high voltages.

1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Thermocouple Simulation Commands This function requires the use of the optional Thermocouple simulation adapter. This is used in conjunction with the adapter interface on the 1000 Series to provide the thermocouple simulation.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL To enable thermocouple simulation to be set up, the following command sequence should be used: //// For example, to set the following configuration: 6) AUTOMATIC COLD JUNCTION COMPENSATION 7) TYPE R 8) 250°C 9) Output ON Send the following command sequence: R60/K1/L4/O250/S0 R60 = Thermocouple simulation mode activation K1 = Automatic cold junction compensation (as detailed in the table above) L4 = Type R the

1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Technical Description General The 1000 Series calibrators use the latest in reference, resistor and processor technology designed to minimise cost and size yet maximise performance. The microprocessor controls and monitors all functions of the calibrator. Calibration constants are held in a non-volatile memory allowing the calibration to be performed without removing the covers. There are no internal adjustments required in normal service. Warning risk of shock.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Internal Fuses In normal operation these fuses should never need to be replaced. Only under fault conditions will they require changing. NOTE: To access these fuses it is necessary to dismantle the case, this should only be carried out by a qualified person. Warning risk of shock.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Opening The Case Warning risk of shock. The line power cord must be disconnected before removing the instrument from it chassis 6 screws are used to attach the 1000 series to the chassis. The locations of these screws are highlighted in Red on the image below TRANSMILLE LTD. Version 1.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Access to Internal Fuses After removing the instrument from the case, the fuses as accessible as shown in the diagram below. TRANSMILLE LTD. Version 1.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Getting the best out of the calibrator. The 1000 series are very accurate calibrators producing a very wide range of output signals. To make the best possible use of the range of outputs and to eliminate errors this section details some common sources of errors and offers some techniques to reduce them. Thermally generated EMF voltage errors. At every connection in a measuring system different metals come into contact with each other, each junction forms a thermocouple.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Power line and low frequency Pick up and noise These effects are most noticeable when using high resistance (100kohms and above) and low current. All constant current sources have a very high output impedance which will pick up noise just like the high value resistance. To reduce pickup, use screened leads and try earthing the low side of the calibrator output. For high value resistance it is essential that the cables insulation resistance will not affect the accuracy.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Calibration and Maintenance WARNING The information in this section is intended only for qualified personnel. The user must at all times be adequately protected from electric shock. General The 1000 Series calibrators’ maintenance requirements are listed below. Please note that the calibrator does not require any regular internal servicing or adjustment.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Cleaning of the Fan Vents WARNING : Risk of Shock Ensure calibrator is disconnected from line power before proceeding. Fan ducts may be cleaned with brush and vacuum cleaner Cleaning the external case Use a damp cloth with a mild water based cleaner for the outside case and front panel. Do not use alcohol based cleaners or solvents and do not spill or allow liquid to enter the case. TRANSMILLE LTD. Version 1.
1000 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL Calibration To adjust the 1000 Series calibrator the calibrator can either be connected to a computer via the USB interface and adjusted using ProCal software or adjusted directly from the front panel. Adjustment can be completed without disassembly of the calibrator. REFER TO THE SERVICE MANUAL FOR CALIBRATION PROCEDURE. THE CALIBRATION OF THE INSTRUMENT SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNAL TRANSMILLE LTD. Version 1.
