WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

is used in the operation of this equipment

DEATH ON CONTACT

may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions

TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD, THE OPERATOR SHOULD NOT
ELECTRICALLY CONTACT THE OUTPUT HI OR SENSE HI TERMINALS OF THE
INSTRUMENT. DURING NORMAL OPERATION OR SYSTEM SELF TEST, LETHAL
VOLTAGES OF UP TO 1lOOV DC MAY BE PRESENT ON THESE TERMINALS. IN
THE EVENT OF MULTIPLE INSTRUMENT FAILURES, LETHAL VOLTAGES OF UP
TO 1400V DC MAY BE PRESENT ON THESE TERMINALS.

Never work on the instrument unless there is another person nearby who is familiar with the
operation and hazards of the equipment and who is competent in administering first aid..When the
technician is aided by operators, he must warn them about dangerous areas.

Whenever possible, the power supply to the equipment must be shut off before beginning work on

the equipment. Take particular care to ground every capacitor likely to hold a dangerous potential.
When working inside the equipment, after the power has been turned off, always ground every part

before touching it.

Be careful not to contact high-voltage connections for the line power ac input connections when

installing or operating this equipment.
Whenever the nature of the operation permits, keep one hand away from the equipment to reduce

the hazard of current flowing through vital organs of the body.

RESCUE

FREE VICTIM FROM CONTACT WITH LIVE CONDUCTOR QUICKLY.
AVOID CONTACT WITH EITHER LIVE CONDUCTOR OR VICTIM’S BODY.

Shut off high voltage at once and ground circuit. If high voltage cannot

be turned off quickly, ground circuit.

An ax with a dry wooden handle may be used to cut high voltage line. Use
extreme caution to avoid resulting electric flastl.

If circuit cannot be broken or grounded, use a dry board, dry clothing,

or other nonconductor to free victim.

SYMPTOMS

NEVER ACCEPT ORDINARY AND GENERAL TESTS FOR DEATH.

Symptoms of electric shock may include unconsciousness, failure to breathe,
absence of pulse, pallor, and stiffness, as well as severe burns. WHENEVER
VICTIM IS NOT BREATHING PROPERLY, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.

TREATMENT

START ARTlFlC,lAL RESPIRATION IMMEDIATELY.

Perform artificial respiration at scene of accident, unless victim’s or operator’s life

is endangered. IN THIS CASE ONLY, remove victim to safe location nearby, If
new location is more than a few feet away, give artificial respiration while victim

is being moved.

After starting artificial respiration, continue without loss of rhythm for at least
FOUR HOURS, or until victim is breathing without help. If you have to change
operators while giving artificial respiration, do so without losing rhythm of respiration

AFTER VICTIM REVIVES

Be prepared to resume artificial respiration, as he may stop breathing again

When victim is COMPLETELY CONSCIOUS. give him a stimulant (NOT AN ALCOHOLIC

DRINK) such as a teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia in a small glass of water.
hot coffee, or hot tea.

Keep victim warm and lying down until he has been conscious for at least fifteen minutes.

POSITION VICTIM

Place victim in face-upward position and kneel close to his ear.

CLEAR THROAT

Turn head to one side and quickly wipe out any fluid, mucus, or

foreign body from mouth and throat with fingers.

OPEN AIR PASSAGE

Tilt head back and extend neck to open air passage.

LIFT JAW FORWARD

Place thumb in victim’s mouth and grasp jaw firmly. Lift jaw
forward to pull tongue out of air passage. Do not attempt to
hold or depress tongue.

PINCH NOSTRILS CLOSED

With other hand pinch nostrils closed to prevent air leak.

FORM TIGHT SEAL WITH LIPS

Rescuer’s wide-open mouth completely surrounds and seals

open mouth of victim. This is not a kissing or puckered

position - mouth of rescuer must be wide-open.

BLOW

Exhale firmly into victim’s mouth until chest is seen to lift.

This can be seen by rescuer without difficulty.

REMOVE MOUTH AND INHALE

D.uring this time, rescuer can hear and feel escape for air from
lungs, Readjust position if air does not flow freely in and
out of victim’s lungs.

Continue at a rate of 12 to 20 times per minute.
Breathing should be normal in rate with only moderate increase

in volume, so that rescue breathing can be continued for long
periods without fatigue. Do not breathe too forcibly or too

large a volume if victim is an infant or small child.

Introduction

GENERAL DESCRIPTION l-l.

The 5440 Series Direct Voltage Calibrators are programmable or stand-alone dc

voltage calibrators with an output voltage range of -1 IOOV dc to $1 lOOV dc and

uncertainty ofthree to four parts per million (referred to national standards). Designed
for use in production environments as well as in calibration laboratories, the 5440
Series Calibrators operate without degradation of uncertainty specifications over a
temperature range of &5”C from the calibration temperature. The 5440 Series can
accurately calibrate meters of up to 7-l/2 digits.

The 5440 Series are convenient to operate. The front panel is tilted to make dataentry
easy, and the two vacuum fluorescent displays are easy to read. A numeric Output

Display shows the output value; a separate, 40-character, Alphanumeric Display
indicates the operating mode, displays menus of operating features, prompts for
entries, and shows other instrument messages.

The 5440 Series are equipped with features that simplify operation. Special features
include:

l

You can preset output voltage and current limits, and can preset tolerance limits

for the unit under test.

.

An automatic lnterual Calibration procedure corrects for drift in internal offsets
and resistor ratios.

.

A display-prompted, semi-automatic External Calibration procedure corrects for

long-term reference drift.

.

Output voltage and current levels are automatically monitored.

l

Output settings can be entered directly with the keyboard and can be incremented

and decremented with convenient front panel controls.

l

Automatic self-tests check the Calibrator’s status and diagnose internal fa,ults.

,.

The IEEE-488 bus address and RS-232-C baud rate can be set from the front panel

keyboard.

There are two models in the 5440 Series: the 544018 and the 5442A., Each model’s
features and capabilities are summarized in Table I-1.
