New Daytona Sensors PC-1 Precision Calibrator The PC-1 Precision Calibrator is a unique product that was designed to solve a common problem facing every small company or individual using electronic test and measurement equipment. How can you be certain that your equipment is still accurate and within calibration? Larger companies that are ISO 9000 have quality control procedures that mandate calibrating all test and measurement equipment on a regular basis. The equipment is usually sent to an outside calibration lab at considerable expense. The cost of implementing this type of formal program is usually prohibitive for small companies and individuals, yet relying on equipment that has become inaccurate could result in serious consequences. The PC-1 Precision Calibrator is a low cost, portable, battery powered instrument designed for quickly checking the basic calibration of digital voltmeters up to 4-1/2 digits, frequency counters, oscilloscopes, and scopemeters. The PC-1 generates a precision +5.000 volt DC output for checking digital voltmeters. The PC-1 also generates highly stable 125 KHz and 1.000 MHz square wave outputs with fast (<5 nanosecond) rise time, exact 50% duty cycle, and precision zero and +5.000 volt levels. The 125 KHz output is ideal for checking oscilloscopes and scopemeters as it corresponds to 8 horizontal divisions at a time base of 1 microsecond/division. Both the 125 KHz and 1.000 MHz outputs can be used to check frequency counters. The following PC-1 specifications are guaranteed over a 3 year calibration cycle: Output voltage: +5.000±.0005 Volt Duty cycle: 50±0.1% @ 125 KHz Environment: 20-30°C & 20-80% RH The calibration certificate supplied with the PC-1 lists the actual output values. The PC-1 requires a standard 9V battery that is installed in a battery compartment on the back on the unit. A battery status LED illuminates when the unit is on and battery power is OK. Expected battery operating life is approximately 8 hours. A single switch turns the unit on and selects the output waveform. Connections are made by means of a female BNC connector. The PC-1 is supplied with a BNC to double banana plug adapter and male-to-male BNC coupler. You can use the double banana plug adapter to connect the unit to digital voltmeters. You can use the male-to-male BNC coupler to connect the unit to oscilloscopes and frequency counters with BNC type inputs.
