IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
This bulletin provides instructions for the
1. Test Instrument Identification.
calibration of Active Head, Fluke, Models 9530, 9550 and 9560. The manufacturer's
manual was used as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The equipment
being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. Variations among models are described in text and tables.
b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 8
hours, using the dc and low frequency technique.
2. Forms, Records, and Reports. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration
personnel at all levels are prescribed by TB 750-25.
3. Calibration Description. TI parameters and performance specifications which
pertain to this calibration are listed in table 1.
