General Information

Description

The Agilent 16380C Capacitance Standard Set consists of three precision capacitors 0.01

µF (16385A), 0.1 µF (16386A), and 1 µF (16387A). One precision capacitor 10 µF

(16388A) is also added with the option. All four capacitors have high capacitance stabillity and are virtually unaffected by changes in environmental temperature, ensuring measurement repeatability and reliability.

The 16380C was designed for use in calibrating precision impedance measuring instruments (such as LCR meters, impedance analyzers, etc.) that have capacitance ranges

between 0.01 µF and 10 µF. The 16380C can be used to directly certify capacitance measurement accuracy over the 0.01 µF to 10 µF range.

The 16380C contents are listed in Table 1-1.

Initial Inspection

Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked mechanically.The contents of the shipment should be as shown in Table 1-1 If the shipment is incomplete, or if there is mechanical damage or defects, notify the nearest Agilent office. If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning material shows signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as the Agilent office. Keep the shipping materials for carrier’s inspection. The Agilent office will arrange for repair or replacement at Agilent Option, without waiting for claim settlement.

Calibration

Agilent will calibrate the 16380C. For complete information (price, time required, etc.) on how to have the 16380C calibrated, contact the nearest Agilent Sales and Service Office.

Recommended Calibration Cycle

The 16380C should be calibrated at least once a year. More frequent calibration may be required if the 16380C is used in very hot or very cold environments.

Repair

The 16380C contains no replaceable components. If one of the capacitors becomes damaged, or if its capacitance value is outside specified Limits, the capacitor must be replaced. For complete information on service, contact the nearest Agilent Sales and Service Office.
