11.1.2. FAULT DIAGNOSIS WITH TEST FUNCTIONS
In addition to being useful predictive diagnostic tools, the test functions viewable from the calibrator’s front panel
can be used to isolate and identify many operational problems when combined with a thorough understanding of
the calibrator’s Theory of Operation (see Section 9).
The acce
ptab
le ranges for these test functions are listed in the “Nominal Range” column of the calibrator Final
Test and Validation Data Sheet shipped with the instrument. Values outside these acceptable ranges indicate a
failure of one or more of the calibrator’s subsystems. Functions whose values are still within the acceptable
range but have significantly changed from the measurement recorded on the factory data sheet may also
indicate a failure.
A worksheet has been provided in Appendix C to assist in recording the value of these Test Functions.
Table 11-2 contains some of the more common causes for these values to be out of range.

REG PRESSURE
Same as REGULATOR PRESSURE WARNING from Table 11-1
BOX TEMP
If the Box Temperature is out of range, make sure that the:
Box Temperature typically runs ~7C warmer than ambient temperature.
- The Exhaust-Fan is running
- The there is sufficient open space to the side and rear of instrument to allow adequate
ventilation.
