Performance Tests
Introduction
2-4 HP EPM-441A/442A Service Guide
Performance Test Record
Results of the performance tests may be tabulated in Table 2-6, 
“Performance Test Record,” on page 2-18. The Performance Test Record 
lists all of the performance test specifications and the acceptable limits for 
each specification. If performance test results are recorded during an 
incoming inspection of the power meter, they can be used for comparison 
during periodic maintenance. The test results may also prove useful in 
verifying proper adjustments after repairs are made.
Performance Tests
The performance tests given in this chapter are suitable for incoming 
inspection or preventive maintenance. During any performance test, all 
shields and connecting hardware must be in place. 
The tests are designed to verify published power meter specifications. 
Perform the tests in the order given and record the data in Table 2-6 on 
page 2-18 and/or in the data spaces provided at the end of each procedure.
Calibration Cycle
This power meter requires periodic verification of performance to ensure 
that it is operating within specified tolerances. The performance tests 
described in this chapter should be performed once each year. Under 
conditions of heavy usage or severe operating environments, the tests 
should be more frequent. Adjustments that may be required are described 
in Chapter 3.
Test Procedures
It is assumed that the person performing the following tests understands 
how to operate the specified test equipment. Equipment settings, other 
than those for the power meter, are stated in general terms. It is assumed 
that the person will select the proper cables, adapters, and probes 
required for test setups illustrated in this chapter.
