Product catalog summary
Overview
The Arbiter Systems Model 1040C and 1040CU are panel meter calibrators designed to integrate multiple calibration functions including voltage, current, frequency, power, power factor, phase, reactive power (VARs), and synchroscope. These devices are compact, portable, and suitable for calibrating various panel meters, transducers, circuit breakers, and overcurrent relays. The Model 1040C includes a hand-held control for remote operation, while the 1040CU is a more economical version without certain features.

Specifications
  • Voltage Output: 10 mV to 1050 Vdc, 1.5 to 750 Vrms with accuracy of ±(0.2% setting + 0.05% FS).
  • Current Output: 0.1 mA to 10.5 Adc, 0.1 to 7.5 Arms with similar accuracy parameters.
  • Frequency Range: 50 to 75 Hz, 333.3 to 500 Hz with accuracy ≤ 0.01% of reading.
  • Power Requirements: 115 Vrms ±10%, 47 to 500 Hz, 0.5 A standby, 3 A max operation.
  • Physical Dimensions: 38 x 38 x 28 cm, weight 17 kg net.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operating temperature 0° to 55° C, non-operating -40° to +75° C.

Operation and Features
The Model 1040C is user-friendly with setup and operation facilitated through a front panel or remotely via IEEE-488 interface. It features a bright vacuum-fluorescent display and memory for up to 99 output settings. Calibration can be performed manually or automatically, and extensive self-test and diagnostic features ensure reliability.

Accessories
The Model 1040C includes a hand-held control unit, voltage and current output cables, and manuals. The Model 1040CU includes a power cord and operation manual, with optional accessories available for both models.

Conclusion
The Model 1040C and 1040CU offer comprehensive calibration capabilities for a wide range of electrical measurement devices, with the 1040C providing additional features for enhanced functionality.

Model 1040C and 1040CU Panel Meter Calibrator-1

POWER CALIBRATORS AND METERS Panel Meter Calibrator The Arbiter Systems®, Inc. Model 1040C Panel Meter Calibrator (PMC) integrates eight calibration functions: voltage, current, frequency, power, power factor, phase, reactive power (VARs), and synchroscope into one compact, portable package. All of these functions in one lightweight yet rugged instrument, allow you to easily calibrate virtually every type of panel meter and many types of transducers, circuit breakers and overcurrent relays. A hand-held control is also provided, so you can operate the Model 1040C at a distance when calibrating panel meters in the control room or substation. The Model 1040C's precision ac/dc voltage and current sources may operate independently to calibrate voltmeters, ammeters and frequency meters, or together to calibrate watt meters, watthour meters, power factor meters, VAR meters, and phase meters. The Model 1040C is also an excellent source for calibrating high-accuracy transducers and revenue meters, when used with an external standard. The Model 931A Power System Analyzer is a good companion instrument for these tests, with basic accuracy of 0.05% and 0.05°, built-in transducer output measurement capability and timer. The Model 931A also performs a wide variety of other measurements. Together, these two instruments can calibrate and measure the vast majority of your work load requirements. The lower-priced Model 1040CU offers the same performance and features as the 1040C, but has binding post outputs instead of detachable output cables, and it has no hand-held control unit. There is also no storage compartment in the unit’s lid, and the maintenance manual is optional. For applications that do not require these features, the Model 1040CU offers significant savings. Extensive self-test, diagnostic and calibration features are standard on the Model 1040C. Upon power-up, the self-tests verify instrument performance; should a fault be detected, it is localized with the diagnostic functions. Calibration is performed either manually through the front panel, or automatically via the standard IEEE-488 interface. Built-in store-recall memory for voltage, current, power, frequency, and phase settings reduces test time in complex measurement sequences. With all these features and more, the Model 1040C is a real time saver. Put one to work for you today!
