ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

This unit is calibrated at the factory to meet the ordered 
specifications, therefore you usually do not need any cali-
bration.
For matching the signal to a receiving instrument or in case 
of regular calibration, adjust the output as explained below.  
Zero and Span adjustments are located behind the top cover 
of the unit.  Open the enclosure cover, release the knurled 
knobs at the front of the unit and open the top cover.
After the calibration is complete, be sure to close both cov-
ers.

*  The frequency range can only be changed within the adjust-

ment range of the frequency variable range covering the 
input range that you specified.

   Example: If you specified the input range of 0 – 150 Hz
                    The range can be changed within 85 – 325 Hz.

 

OUTPUT ZERO & SPAN ADJUSTMENT

1) Turn the bias adjustment (VR21) fully counterclockwise.
2) ZERO:  With 0% input frequency, adjust output to 0 

±0.05% with VR1.

3) SPAN:  With 100% input frequency, adjust output to 100 

±0.05% with VR22 after turning VR2 fully counterclock-

wise and then 1.5 turns clockwise.

4) Check ZERO adjustment again with 0% input frequency.
5) When ZERO value is changed, repeat the above proce-

dure 2) – 4).

MAINTENANCE

Regular calibration procedure is explained below:

 

CALIBRATION

Warm up the unit for at least 10 minutes.  Apply 0%, 25%, 
50%, 75% and 100% input signal.  Check that the output 
signal for the respective input signal remains within accu-
racy described in the data sheet.  When the output is out of 
tolerance, recalibrate the unit according to the “ADJUST-
MENT PROCEDURE” explained earlier.
