Calibration Pro’
3
Description
The Calibration Pro’ comes complete with batteries, a high voltage lead and an
earthing lead. The meter is housed in a robust aluminium case.
On the front panel of the case there is:
● Rotary ON/OFF and range changing switch.
● LCD digital voltage display.
● On the back panel of the case there is:
● Earth return socket (4mm).
● Battery drawer containing 4 x AA batteries.
The High Voltage input to the meter is applied via the red connector on the top of
the case.
Unpacking
The Calibration Pro’ and the various leads should be removed from their packaging
and checked for damage. If any part is damaged, the carrier and supplier should
be notified immediately. All packing material should be kept for inspection and the
Calibration Pro’ should not be used.
The package contains the following items:
● Calibration Pro’ Unit.
● High Voltage Connector Lead.
● 2m Earth Lead.
If any of these are missing, contact your supplier immediately.
The packaging should be retained for the future to be used if the unit needs to be
sent back for repair, or needs to be stored. All items should be put in plastic bags
before being placed in the carton.

Safety Precautions
Below is a list of markings that are used on the unit:
Read the information in this manual before using the equipment.
The Buckleys Calibration Pro’ is intended to be used for measuring very high
voltages and therefore should only be used by responsible and authorised
personnel that have read and understood this manual.
CAUTION: Refer to accompanying documents
CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock
WARNINGS: Denotes hazards to the operator
Note: The works safety officer should approve the usage of this equipment.
Calibration Pro’
5
The design of the Calibration Pro’ will protect the operator from receiving a
dangerous electric shock. When in use, the meter should be secured to a good
earth connection at all times.
The high voltage supply must not be switched on until both ends of the HV lead
have been securely fastened to the HV supply and the meter, and both have been
earthed.
Position the HV supply and the Calibration Pro’ so that the [ON/OFF] switches are
easily accessible to the operator whilst the unit is in use.
WARNING: High Voltage equipment should not be used in any combustible
atmosphere as the high voltage will cause a spark, and an explosion could
result.
WARNING: High Voltage equipment should not be used in a situation where it
would be exposed to damp or wet conditions or where the amount of
conductive dust is greater than would occur in a normal situation.
WARNING: This equipment MUST be earthed. To not do so may result in electric
shock.
WARNING: This equipment is only intended for use with a smoothed DC supply. It
should NOT be connected to equipment that generates a high frequency AC
or pulsed DC output.

Operation
Ensure that the high voltage supply is switched off and is connected to a secure
earth.
Connect the Calibration Pro’ to earth via the connector on the rear panel and the
supplied 2m black earth lead.
Check that the HV supply is switched off and that its output control is set to
minimum.
Connect the Calibration Pro’ to the HV supply using the supplied red high voltage
lead and switch the Calibration Pro’ to the correct range (20kV or 40kV full scale
deflection).
Switch on the HV supply and slowly increase the output so that the display of the
Calibration Pro’ is set to half the maximum. (i.e. a 20kV supply should be set to
10kV).
If the Calibration Pro’s digital display does not rise as the HV supply is increased
switch both units OFF and check the connecting leads and/or the batteries in the
unit.
Once the HV supply is set to half of maximum (read on the Calibration Pro’)
carefully adjust the calibration controls on the HV supply (instructions to do this
should be supplied by the equipment manufacturer) until the display on the HV
supply reads the same as the display on the Calibration Pro’.
Using the output adjustment control, set the HV supply to minimum and check that
the display on the Calibration Pro’s reads the same (within acceptable tolerances)
as the display on the HV supply. Repeat the test, this time with the HV supply set to
maximum.
This completes calibration of the HV supply. Finally the HV supply should be switched
off, leads removed and an appropriate ‘Calibration Sticker’ applied.
WARNING: The equipment should not be operated if any part is in a damaged
condition.
WARNING: Do NOT connect or disconnect the high voltage lead to the supply
when the supply is switched ON.

Maintenance & Calibration
The Buckleys Calibration Pro’ requires no maintenance by the user except battery
replacement. If the batteries should begin to fail (indicated by a low battery symbol
in the top left of the digital display) replacement should be carried out immediately.
Ensure that the unit is switched off and is not connected to any high voltage supply.
Squeeze the sides of the battery compartment (located on the rear panel of the
meter) and remove the drawer.
Replace the old batteries with 4 x 1.5V Type AA (LR6) batteries, ensuring that the
correct polarity is maintained. Replace the battery drawer and make sure that the
old batteries are disposed of safely.
The Calibration Pro’ should be inspected before use on every occasion to check
that the case, high voltage cable and earth lead have not been damaged. If
damage is found, the unit must not be used, and must be returned to the
manufacturer for repair.
Buckleys’ policy for re-calibration of the Calibration Pro’ is 12 months. (See
Calibration Certificate) You may send the unit back to Buckleys for calibration, you
may wish to do this yourself or send it to a test house. The test should always be
traceable to national standards.

Risk Assessment
It the user’s responsibility to complete a risk assessment before using Buckleys
equipment. The following points offer some guidance but must not be assumed to
be complete or sufficient.
Personal safety
•Have all users been trained in the correct and safe use of the instruments?
•Are they aware that the instrument produces high voltages, and can give
electric shocks if used incorrectly?
•Is the instrument in good condition, undamaged? Is the instrument dry? Are
the accessories similarly in good condition, dry and undamaged?
•Is it possible to ensure that persons with pacemakers, cochlear implants or
trans-dermal implants of any kind are sufficiently far from the instrument & test
site to be safe?
•Ozone is an irritant gas which will be produced when the instrument produces
sparks – is the test outdoors, or is there sufficient, suitable ventilation in place to
ensure that this is not hazardous?
•Is the access route to the area of the test safe? Is fall protection necessary? If
so, is it in place?
•Has the instrument been properly grounded to a metallic grounding point?
•Should you use the anti-static wristband to prevent static charge build-up
Explosion & Fire Risk
•Buckleys high-voltage instruments will produce sparks - Are you certain that
there is no risk of an explosive atmosphere?
•Have all easily-ignited and/or flammable materials been removed from the
area to be tested?
EMC & RFI
•Buckleys high-voltage instruments will produce sparks which may create
interference in nearby electronic apparatus, particularly communication
and computer equipment.
•Are you certain that there is no risk of such interference causing a danger
to others – particularly medical or life support equipment?
•Are you sure that there is no risk of such interference causing costs or
inconvenience to others – eg industrial processes, measuring equipment,
scientific apparatus, domestic radio and TV?

Other Risks
•Have you checked that there are no ongoing processes in the area (eg
below the roof you’re working on) that may be dangerous – X-ray machines,
other radiation?
•Are you certain that the instrument has not been immersed, dropped or
otherwise damaged in a way that is not obvious?
•Have you verified that the ground connection is actually grounded?
•Is the person responsible for site safety aware of / fully understanding the
testing you are going to do, and has it been reviewed in line with the site
procedures?
