3 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS:

3.1 Review and become familiar with the entire procedure before beginning the Calibration Process.

WARNING

Unless otherwise designated, and prior to beginning the Calibration Process,
ensure that all test equipment voltage and/or current outputs are set to zero (0)
or turned off, where applicable. Ensure that all equipment switches are set to
the proper position before making connections or applying power.

8

T.O. 33K4-4-669-1

3.2 Connect test equipment to appropriate power source. Set POWER switches to ON or STBY and allow a warm-up
period as required by the manufacturer.

3.3 Connect the TI to appropriate power source. Set TI ON STANDBY switch to ON and allow a 30 minute
warm-up.

3.4 Due to lack of standards, annotate and attach a Limited Certification Label stating TI Sweep (Analyzer Mode)
not calibrated <0.1 ms.

3.5 Make a copy of Tables 20 and 21 to be used in the Calibration Process.

3.6 TI with Option ESIB-B2, Preamplification, extends the frequency range for preamplification to 26.5 GHz or
40 GHz, as applicable.

4 CALIBRATION PROCESS:

NOTE

Unless otherwise specified, verify the results of each test and take corrective
action whenever the test requirement is not met, before proceeding.

4.1 INTERNAL REFERENCE FREQUENCY CALIBRATION:

NOTE

Adjustment of the Time Base Oscillator is normal due to the Aging Rate of the
crystals. This is common to all Quartz Oscillators. The adjustment actions
taken during this calibration will ensure the greatest reliability of the TI by
adjusting the time base reference to the nominal value each time it is calibrated.

4.1.1 Connect Frequency Standard 10 MHz REF OUT to the Electronic Counter EXT FREQ STD INPUT
(1-10 MHz). Set Electronic Counter INT STD/EXT STD switch to EXT STD.

4.1.2 Connect TI EXT REF IN/OUT (rear panel) to the Electronic Counter CHANNEL A Input. Set the Electronic
Counter 50Ω/1MΩ switch to 50Ω.

4.1.3 On the TI, press CONFIGURATION SETUP and REFERENCE INT/EXT, ensure that INT is selected.

4.1.4 Adjust Electronic Counter controls as required for a stable display indication, then push RESET.

NOTE

The values in the following step are derived from multiplication of the Aging
Rate to determine the offset at one year. Use these calculated one year values
regardless of the length of the calibration interval for this TI in
T.O. 33K-1-100-1/2. The longest aging rate specification not to exceed 1 year
has been used to calculate the limits.

4.1.5 Verify the Electronic Counter indication is 9 999 998 to 10 000 002 Hz.

4.1.6 To ensure reliability of the TI, the following action will be taken: If TI passed the above steps, perform the
applicable adjustment steps in Appendix A, and enter NO ADJUSTMENT ACTION into the Maintenance Data
Collection System. If TI failed, perform the applicable steps listed in Appendix A and enter appropriate
ADJUSTMENT ACTION into the Maintenance Data Collection System.

4.1.7 Set the Electronic Counter INT STD/EXT STD switch to INT STD.

4.1.8 Disconnect test setup.

4.2 FREQUENCY DISPLAY CALIBRATION:

(Analyzer Mode)

4.2.1 Connect the Synthesized Signal Generator 10 MHz REF OUTPUT (rear panel) to TI EXT REF IN/OUT (rear
panel). Connect the Synthesized Signal Generator RF OUTPUT to TI RF INPUT 1 connector.
