Series 2600 System SourceMeters Reference Manual Performance Verification 15-3
Return to Section 15 topics 2600S-901-01 Rev. A / May 2006
Warm-up period
Allow the Series 2600 to warm up for at least two hours before conducting the
verification procedures. If the instrument has been subjected to temperature
extremes (those outside the ranges stated above), allow additional time for the
instrument’s internal temperature to stabilize. Typically, allow one extra hour to
stabilize a unit that is 10°C (18°F) outside the specified temperature range.
Also, allow the test equipment to warm up for the minimum time specified by the
manufacturer.
Line power
The Series 2600 requires a line voltage of 100V to 240V and a line frequency of
50Hz or 60Hz. Verification tests should be performed within this range.
Recommended test equipment
Table 15-1 summarizes recommended verification equipment. You can use
alternate equipment as long as that equipment has specifications equal or greater
than those listed in
Table 15-1. Keep in mind, however, that test equipment
uncertainty will add to the uncertainty of each measurement. Generally, test
equipment uncertainty should be at least four times better than corresponding
Series 2600 specifications.
Table 15-1 lists the uncertainties of the recommended
test equipment.
