TB 9-6625-2003-24
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument Identification.
This bulletin provides instructions for the
calibration of Output Meters TS-585A/U, TS-585B/U, TS-585C/U, and TS-585D/U. The
manufacturers' manuals were used as the prime data sources in compiling these
instructions. The equipment being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument)
throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. Variations are described in the text.
b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 2
hours, using the dc and low frequency technique.
2. Forms, Records, and Reports
a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are
prescribed by TB 750-25.
b. Adjustments to be reported are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which
they appear. Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R).
3. Calibration Description. TI parameters and performance applications which pertain
to this calibration are listed in table 1.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
calibration procedure. This equipment is issued with Secondary Transfer Calibration
Standards Sets AN/GSM-286, AN/GSM-287 and AN/GSM-705. Alternate items may be
used by the calibrating activity. The items selected must be verified to perform
satisfactorily prior to use and must bear evidence of current calibration. The equipment
must meet or exceed the minimum use specifications listed in table 2. The accuracies listed
in table 2 provide a four-to-one ratio between the standard and TI. Where the four-to-one
