1.8.2 AC volts verification
AC voltage accuracy is checked by applying accurate AC
voltages at specific frequencies from an AC calibration
source and then verifying that each Model 2001 AC voltage
reading falls within the specified range. The three ACV ver-
ification procedures that follow include:
• Normal mode
• Low-frequency mode
• Peak ACV
CAUTION
Do not exceed 1100V peak or 2 ×

1. Turn on the Model 2001, calibrator, and amplifier, and
allow a one-hour warm-up period before making mea-
surements.
2. Connect the Model 2001 to the calibrator, as shown in
Figure 1-2. Be sure to connect the amplifier HI to Model
2001 INPUT HI, and amplifier LO to Model 2001 IN-
PUT LO as shown. Connect the power amplifier to the
calibrator using the appropriate connector on the rear of
the calibrator.
3. Restore Model 2001 factory default conditions, as ex-
plained in paragraph 1.7.
4. Select the ACV function and the 200mV range on the
Model 2001, and make sure that REL is disabled.
NOTE
Do not use REL to null offsets when per-
forming AC volts tests.
5. Set the calibrator output to 190.000mVAC at a frequen-
cy of 20Hz, and allow the reading to settle.
6. Verify that the Model 2001 reading is within the limits
summarized in Table 1-3.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for 190mVAC at the remaining fre-
quencies listed in Table 1-3 (except 2MHz).Verify that
instrument readings fall within the required limits listed
in the table.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the 2V, 20V, 200V, and
750VAC ranges, using the input voltages and limits stat-
ed in Table 1-3.
9. Connect the Model 2001 to the wideband calibrator out-
put (Figure 1-3).
