SECTION I IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION 1. Test Instrument Identification. This bulletin provides instructions for the calibration of Ac Voltage Standard, Hewlett-Packard Model 745A and High Voltage Amplifier, Hewlett-Packard Model 746A including Options C90, C91, and C93. The manufacturer's instruction manuals were used as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The equipment being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout this bulletin. a. Model Variations. There are no variations among models which affect the calibration of the TI. The C90 option adds slides to the instrument. The C91 option adds a blower to the instrument. The C93 option adds slides and a blower to the instrument. b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 8 hours, using the dc (direct current) and low frequency technique. 2. Calibration Data Card, DA Form 2416 a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels arc prescribed by TM 38-750. DA Form 2416 must be annotated in accordance with TM 38750 for each calibration performed. b. Adjustments to be reported on DA Form 2416 are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which they appear. When adjustments are in tables, the (R) follows the designated adjustment. Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R). 3. Calibration Description. TI parameters and performance specifications which pertain to this calibration are listed in table 1.

TB 9-4931-700-50 NOTE Each time measurement of TI output is directed, a minimum of four readings should be taken. The first reading should be disregarded and the other three readings averaged. The average reading is the indication to be recorded for future use. The ac/dc voltmeter (A1) indication should be read between 15 and 20 seconds after thermal transfer standard (A9) transfers to the dc output. (3) Measure TI output, using thermal transfer standard in auto mode. Record ac/dc Voltmeter indication. (4) Compute and record difference between the indication recorded in (3) above and TI voltage controls setting. If indication in (3) is large a + (plus) sign is assigned to difference. If it is smaller, a - (minus) sign is assigned to difference. Convert difference to percentage retaining assigned sign. (5) Refer to test report for thermal transfer standard to obtain percentage of ac/dc difference for 1 V at appropriate frequency. (6) Add algebraically two percentages obtained in (4) and (5) above. The result is percentage of TI output error. If TI output error is ±0.035 percent or more, perform b(1) through (3) below. (7) Repeat technique of (1) through (6) above with autotransformer (A2) set at 105 and 125 V ac. If error does not remain within ±0.035 percent and adjustments were not performed in (6) above, perform b(1) through (3) below and repeat (2) through (6) above. Return autotransformer setting to 115 V ac. (8) With decade resistor (A3) set to 22 ohms, connect at input to thermal transfer standard, using cable (B7). (9) Repeat technique of (1) through (6) above. The TI output will remain within specified limits. (10) Perform technique of (1) through (6), (8), and (9) above, using settings and indications listed in table 7. (11) Disconnect decade resistor. (12) Set TI frequency to 1 kHz and voltage range to 1 V. (13) With thermal transfer standard in manual balance mode and dc output state, adjust its manual balance controls to obtain an ac/dc voltmeter indication of 1.000000 V dc.
