Maintenance; Calibration - AMETEK Programmable Power Sorensen XDL Série Mode D'emploi

The Manufacturers or their agents overseas will provide a repair service for any unit developing a
fault. Where owners wish to undertake their own maintenance work, this should only be done by
skilled personnel in conjunction with the service manual which may be purchased directly from
the Manufacturers or their agents overseas.
Cleaning
If the instrument requires cleaning use a cloth that is only lightly dampened with water or a mild
detergent.
WARNING! TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR DAMAGE TO THE INSTRUMENT, NEVER
ALLOW WATER TO GET INSIDE THE CASE. TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE CASE NEVER
CLEAN WITH SOLVENTS.
Routine calibration is carried out without opening the instrument.
Allow 10 minute warm-up before commencing calibration.
Equipment Required
A 5.5 digit multimeter with better than 0.02% accuracy on dc volts and better than 0.12%
accuracy on dc current (to 5A); alternatively use a precision shunt for current measurement.

Calibration

To enter calibration press SHIFT, #, 99. If the instrument is a long way out of calibration, the
default calibration values should be loaded first by pressing SHIFT, #, 91. Pressing ESCAPE at
anytime will abort the calibration procedure and revert to the stored calibration values.
Having entered calibration mode, follow the table below. To increment to the next step press OK.
The calibration must be done in sequence. At the end of calibration press OK to store the
calibration. The instrument automatically sets the range and settings at each step.
Use the spin-wheel to adjust calibration; holding down the JOG SET OFF key will give x100
increments to speed up calibration. Pressing SHIFT will show the calibration value.
