1. INTRODUCTION
The Power Calibration Kit is a set including an
interconnection case "Power Calibration Case" and
an interface software "Power Calibration Manager".
This set associated with a power calibrator and a
PC allows semi-autonomous adjustment and
calibration of the C.A 8220, C.A 8230, C.A 8332/34,
C.A 8335 and AEMC 3943/45 power analysers.
The "Power Calibration Case" allows
interconnection between the inputs of the power
analysers and the single-phase power calibrator. In
addition it includes switchable precision resistors
allowing adjustment of the continuity and
temperature measurement function of the C.A 8220
power analyser.
The "Power Calibration Manager" software allows
the computer to interface with power analysers in
order to control adjustment and calibration routines
for voltage, current and power measurements (also
continuity and temperature measurements with C.A
8220).

3.2 Physical description
This kit includes:


A rigid yellow case including a panel which
allows the connection to the power calibrator
and fitted with the following elements:
•Two safety plugs for input voltage.
•Two safety plugs for input current connected to
a shunt for loading the calibrator output current
and producing a voltage proportional to its
value.
•A fuse holder containing a fuse for protecting
the shunt.
•Two safety plugs for shunt voltage
measurement.
•A rotary switch for directing voltage input of the
power analyser either towards the voltage
output of the calibrator or towards the precision
resistors (only for C.A 8220 adjustment).
•Voltage and current output cables with
connectors for the currents and plugs for the
voltages allowing connection to the power
analyser.


A CD ROM including the software "Power
Calibration Manager" and the user’s manual.
3.3 Necessary additional
components

4. USE
4.1 General information
The software is exclusively Microsoft Windows-
compatible (2000 SP4 , XP 32 bits or Vista 32 bits)
and has to be installed on a personal computer to
control the power analyser.
It includes an install program which copies on the
computer all the necessary files for the software
execution.
At the end of the installation of the software with the
help of the setup wizard, at the first start, the
software is inviting to use the default ID (identifier).
To obtain an official identification of the installation
site in order to allow the traceability of adjustments,
a key request can be established via e-mail by
sending a form to the hotline Chauvin-Arnoux. The
online support will return the key as soon as
possible.
4.2 Software installation
This software does not require any minimal
hardware configuration. Run the executable installer
"setup.exe" from the CD ROM provided with the kit.
The following window is displayed:
Click the "Next >" button to continue:
The default installation destination location is
"C:\ProgramFiles\ChauvinArnoux\PowerCalibration
Manager".
It is possible to choose a different location by
clicking the "Browse" button, then pointing to an
other folder and finally clicking the Next >" button:
The program’s shortcut will be installed in a new
start menu folder called "Chauvin-Arnoux".

If the installation settings displayed on the window
are ok, click the "Install" button.
Wait for installation to be completed and so the
following window will be displayed:
Click the "Finish" button to exit.
4.3 Software registration
Software registration is necessary to obtain a key to
customize the software and all the analysers which
it has been used to adjust.
The advantage of registration is that it enables
traceability of the instruments.
To obtain a registration key, click on the
Generate an email button in the settings window.
Enter the requested information:
Click the "Validation" button:
The Chauvin-Arnoux internet support site will return
a key allowing ID encryption as soon as possible.
To enter the key after obtaining it, click the "Enter
the key" button, and then enter the key in the
corresponding fields. To finish, click the "Validation"
button.
4.4 Adjustment method
Click the “Adjustment Tab” menu and follow the
instructions:
4.5 Calibration method
