Calibration
This calibration procedure contains performance verification procedures and
adjustment procedures. After receiving a generator, it is recommended to first
confirm that the performance is related to the specifications. If so, then perform
the appropriate adjustments.

Calibration Interval
The instrument should be calibrated on a regular interval determined by the
measurement accuracy requirements of your application. A 1-year interval is
adequate for most applications. Accuracy specifications will remain valid only if
adjustment is made at regular calibration intervals. Accuracy specifications are
not valid beyond the1-year calibration interval. SIGLENT does not recommend
extending calibration intervals beyond 2 years for any application.

Adjustment is Recommended
Specifications are valid only within the period from the last adjustment.
Whatever calibration interval you select, SIGLENT recommends that
re-adjustment should always be performed within the calibration interval. This
is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the performance data measured during
the calibration interval.

Automating Calibration Procedures

The complete verification and adjust procedures can be automated with the
use of appropriate automated test instrumentation. The complete instrument
configurations specified for each test may be programmed via the remote
interface. Verification data can then be read-back from the instrument into a
test program and compared to the appropriate test limit values.

The instrument can also be adjusted from the remote interface. Remote
adjustment is similar to the local front-panel procedure. A PC can be used to
perform the adjustment by first selecting the required function and range. The
adjustment command is sent to the instrument and then the adjustment is
initiated over the remote interface.

Recommended Test Equipment

The test equipment instrumentation recommended for the performance
verification and adjustment procedures is listed below. If the exact instrument
is not available, substitute with the instrument of equivalent accuracy.

SPD3303C Service Manual 7

 Instrument Requirements Recommended Model
DC voltage/current:
Digital Multimeter (DMM) accuracy: 100 ppm Siglent SDM3055
resolution: 100 μV/μA
specification:
DC Electronic Load ITECH IT8702
80V/20A/200W

Test Considerations
For optimum performance, all procedures should comply with the following
recommendations:

 Assure that the calibration ambient temperature is stable and between 18℃
and 28℃. Ideally, the calibration should be performed at 23℃±1℃.

 Assure ambient relative humidity is less than 70%.

 Allow a 30 minute warm-up period before verification or adjustment.

 Keep the measurement cables as short as possible, consistent with the

impedance requirements.

Performance Verification Test

The performance verification tests are recommended as acceptance tests

upon receipt of the instrument. The acceptance test results should be
compared against the specifications given in chapter “Specification”. After
acceptance, repeat the performance verification tests at every calibration
interval.

If the instrument fails performance verification, adjustment or repair is required.

General Adjustment Procedure

The following explains how to adjust the SPD3303C power supply for optimum
operating performance.

 Output Voltage Calibration which calibrates the output voltage accuracy.

 Output Current Calibration which calibrates the output current accuracy.

Software Environment

1. Python
Make sure you have installed Python 2.7 in your computer. The following
modules of Python are required as well: PyVisa, PyQt4 and PyWin32.

2. Microsoft Office
As test reports are saved as ‘.xls’, it is necessary that you are working with MS
Office 2003 or higher version.

3. NI VISA
The Python module, PyVisa, is based on VISA I/O library which can be derived
from NI VISA.

Warming up

Before performing the adjustment procedures, let the generator and other test
equipment warm up for at least 30 minutes in an ambient temperature between
18 °C and 28 °C. Adjustments performed prior to warm-up or outside this
temperature range may result in poor performance.

Assembly Procedures
This chapter describes how to remove the major modules from the SPD3303C
series generator. To install the removed modules or replace new modules,
please follow corresponding operating steps in reverse order.

Security Consideration

Only qualified personnel should perform the disassembly procedures.

Whenever possible, disconnect the power before removing or replacing.
Otherwise, personal injuries or damages to the components may occur.

Avoid Electric Shock Hazardous voltages exist on the power supply module.
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the power cord from the generator, and
then wait at least three minutes for the capacitors in the generator to discharge
before beginning the disassembly.

Preventing ESD Almost all electrical components can be damaged by

electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling. Component damages can occur
at electrostatic discharge voltages as low as 50 volts. The following guidelines
will help preventing ESD damage when servicing the instrument or any
electronic device.

 Disassemble instruments only in a static-free work area.

 Use a conductive work area to reduce static charges.
 Use a conductive wrist strap to reduce static charge accumulation.
 Minimize handling.
 Keep replacement parts in original static-free packaging.
 Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper and other static-generating materials
from the immediate work area.
 Use only anti-static solder suckers.

Required Tools
Use these tools to remove or replace the modules in the generator:

 Anti-static gloves
 The multifunctional screwdriver or electric screwdriver
 Needle-nose pliers

Troubleshooting
The internal structure of the SPD3303C Power Supply consists of power board,
main board and switching board, and they are linked through cables or
connectors. This chapter explains the main checking procedures for these
three boards by measuring the rated test points on them, thus to help you
decide the reason for the failure you encounter while operating SPD3303C.

ESD Precautions

While performing any internal test of the SPD3303C, please refer to the
following precautions to avoid damages to its internal modules or components
result from ESD.

 Touch circuit boards by the edges as possible as you can.

 Reduce handling of static-sensitive modules when necessary. .
 Wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap to insulate the static voltage from
your body while touching these modules.
 Operate static-sensitive modules only at static-free areas. Avoid handling
modules in areas that allow anything capable of generating or holding a
static charge.
