Design Notes

Incorporating the advanced clamp coil, thermocouple simulation and tachometer calibration
adapters as well as process control source / measure capabilities, this workstation adapter
provides a versatile platform for efficient calibration of a wide range of equipment.

Clamp Meters

Using the built in 2, 10 and 50 turn coils, clamp meters can be accurately and quickly
calibrated. Using a high accuracy balanced design both wound (AC only) & Magnetic field
(hall effect) AC/DC clamp meters can be calibrated. Three coils in one provide the ability to
calibrate a wide range of coils, from small lower clamps down to 10mm jaw diameter to larger
2000A clamps.

Insulation Testers

Insulation tester calibration is a common requirement and is now easy to perform using the
workstation. Insulation to 2GOhms @ 1000V and continuity to 1kOhm is available from
dedicated terminals. Using the measurement capabilities of the adapter interface, the
workstation also provides insulation test voltage measurement to 1000V and continuity
current measurement.

Process Control Calibrators

Source/measure process control calibrators are commonplace in industry and previously
required several references to calibrate. The workstation integrates all the functions required
to both source and measure the required signals.
