SECTION I IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION 1. Test Instrument Identification. This bulletin provides instructions for the calibration of Dc Transfer Standard, John Fluke Models 730A and 730A/AB. The manufacturer's instruction manuals were used as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The dc transfer standard will be referred to as the "TI" (test instrument) throughout this bulletin. a. Model Variations. Variations among models are described in text. b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 4 hours, using the dc and low frequency technique. 2. Calibration Data Card, DA Form 2416 a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are 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) will follow 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. NOTE For calibration of model 730A to be valid, the TI E control must be set to the last 3 digits of the value of standard cell used in the calibration.

SECTION II EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS 4. Equipment Required. Table 2 identifies the specific equipment used in this calibration procedure. This equipment is issued with secondary reference calibration standards set 4931-621-7878 and is to be used in performing this procedure. Alternate items may be used by the calibrating activity when the equipment listed in table 2 is not available. The items selected must be verified to perform satisfactorily prior to use and must bear evidence of current calibration. The equipment must meet or exceed the minimum use specifications listed in table 2. The accuracies listed in table 2 provide a four-to-one accuracy ratio between the standard and TI. Where the four-to-one ratio cannot be met, the actual accuracy of the equipment selected is shown in parenthesis. 5. Accessories Required. The accessories listed in table 3 are issued .with secondary reference calibration standards set 4931-621-7878 are to be used in this calibration procedure.
