14. Preliminary Instructions 
 a. The instructions outlined in paragraphs 14 and 15 are preparatory to the calibration 
process.  Personnel should become familiar with the entire bulletin before beginning the 
calibration. 
 b. Items of equipment used in this procedure are referenced within the text by common 
name as listed in table 2. 
 c. Unless otherwise specified, verify the result of each test and, whenever the test 
requirement is not met, take corrective action before continuing with the calibration. 
Adjustments required to calibrate the TI are included in this procedure.  Additional 
maintenance information is contained in the manufacturer’s manual for this TI. 
 d. When indications specified in paragraphs 16 through 19 are not within tolerance, 
perform the power supply check prior to making adjustments.  After adjustments are made,

personnel fail to observe safety precautions.  REDUCE 
OUTPUT(S) to minimum after each step within the 
performance check where applicable. 
 a. Remove protective cover from TI only for access to adjustments or test points. 
NOTE 
When FREQ STD OUT on rear of TI is not being used, the 
connector must be terminated with 50Ω feedthrough 
termination supplied with TI.  
 b. Assure that LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch (rear panel) is set for 115 V ac 
and verify that correct fuse (as labeled on rear panel) is installed. 
 c. Connect TI to autotransformer and connect autotransformer to a 115 V ac source 
and adjust for 115 V ac output. 
 d. Position controls as listed in (1) through (7) below.
