Calibration Unit for PGT 120

Calibration manual for PGT120 with DIP12 switch

 

1 Preparation

Starting point for all measurements are the following DIP switch settings.
The calibration is performed with the customers test voltage setting (DIP-switch 4 and 5) If desired, the test can be repeated with the other available test voltage settings.

OFF 8 3 2 1

 

2 Wrist strap verification

To check the limits of the wrist strap test connect:

  • the middle jack of the calibration unit with the 3 mm snap of the PGT 120 (same symbols ). Use the DK3-socket adaptor which is included.
  • the left jack of the calibration unit with the black 4 mm banana socket of the PGT 120. (wrist strap test, same symbols).

Set the marked lever of the rotary switch in succession to the positions mentioned below. Press the left contact electrode for each measurement.

6 Calibration Unit verification

Recommended calibration cycle: 3 years

To check the resistors, connect a suitable Ohmmeter to the central jack  and the left jack  of the Calibration Unit and set the marked lever of the rotary switch in succession to the marked positions. The corresponding resistor values and tolerances can be taken from the drawing below.

Also connect the Ohmmeter to the central  and right jack of the Calibration Unit. Nominal value must be: 24,4 kW ±1%
