WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
is used in the operation of this equipment
DEATH ON CONTACT
may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD, THE OPERATOR SHOULD NOT
ELECTRICALLY CONTACT THE OUTPUT HI OR SENSE HI TERMINALS OF THE
INSTRUMENT. DURING NORMAL OPERATION OR SYSTEM SELF TEST, LETHAL
VOLTAGES OF UP TO 1lOOV DC MAY BE PRESENT ON THESE TERMINALS. IN
THE EVENT OF MULTIPLE INSTRUMENT FAILURES, LETHAL VOLTAGES OF UP
TO 1400V DC MAY BE PRESENT ON THESE TERMINALS.
Never work on the instrument unless there is another person nearby who is familiar with the
operation and hazards of the equipment and who is competent in administering first aid..When the
technician is aided by operators, he must warn them about dangerous areas.
Whenever possible, the power supply to the equipment must be shut off before beginning work on
the equipment. Take particular care to ground every capacitor likely to hold a dangerous potential.
When working inside the equipment, after the power has been turned off, always ground every part
before touching it.
Be careful not to contact high-voltage connections for the line power ac input connections when
installing or operating this equipment.
Whenever the nature of the operation permits, keep one hand away from the equipment to reduce
the hazard of current flowing through vital organs of the body.

RESCUE
FREE VICTIM FROM CONTACT WITH LIVE CONDUCTOR QUICKLY.
AVOID CONTACT WITH EITHER LIVE CONDUCTOR OR VICTIM’S BODY.
Shut off high voltage at once and ground circuit. If high voltage cannot
be turned off quickly, ground circuit.
An ax with a dry wooden handle may be used to cut high voltage line. Use
extreme caution to avoid resulting electric flastl.
If circuit cannot be broken or grounded, use a dry board, dry clothing,
or other nonconductor to free victim.
SYMPTOMS
NEVER ACCEPT ORDINARY AND GENERAL TESTS FOR DEATH.
Symptoms of electric shock may include unconsciousness, failure to breathe,
absence of pulse, pallor, and stiffness, as well as severe burns. WHENEVER
VICTIM IS NOT BREATHING PROPERLY, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
TREATMENT
START ARTlFlC,lAL RESPIRATION IMMEDIATELY.
Perform artificial respiration at scene of accident, unless victim’s or operator’s life
is endangered. IN THIS CASE ONLY, remove victim to safe location nearby, If
new location is more than a few feet away, give artificial respiration while victim
is being moved.
After starting artificial respiration, continue without loss of rhythm for at least
FOUR HOURS, or until victim is breathing without help. If you have to change
operators while giving artificial respiration, do so without losing rhythm of respiration
AFTER VICTIM REVIVES
Be prepared to resume artificial respiration, as he may stop breathing again
When victim is COMPLETELY CONSCIOUS. give him a stimulant (NOT AN ALCOHOLIC
DRINK) such as a teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia in a small glass of water.
hot coffee, or hot tea.
Keep victim warm and lying down until he has been conscious for at least fifteen minutes.

POSITION VICTIM
Place victim in face-upward position and kneel close to his ear.
CLEAR THROAT
Turn head to one side and quickly wipe out any fluid, mucus, or
foreign body from mouth and throat with fingers.
OPEN AIR PASSAGE
Tilt head back and extend neck to open air passage.
LIFT JAW FORWARD
Place thumb in victim’s mouth and grasp jaw firmly. Lift jaw
forward to pull tongue out of air passage. Do not attempt to
hold or depress tongue.
PINCH NOSTRILS CLOSED
With other hand pinch nostrils closed to prevent air leak.
FORM TIGHT SEAL WITH LIPS
Rescuer’s wide-open mouth completely surrounds and seals
open mouth of victim. This is not a kissing or puckered
position - mouth of rescuer must be wide-open.
BLOW
Exhale firmly into victim’s mouth until chest is seen to lift.
This can be seen by rescuer without difficulty.
REMOVE MOUTH AND INHALE
D.uring this time, rescuer can hear and feel escape for air from
lungs, Readjust position if air does not flow freely in and
out of victim’s lungs.
Continue at a rate of 12 to 20 times per minute.
Breathing should be normal in rate with only moderate increase
in volume, so that rescue breathing can be continued for long
periods without fatigue. Do not breathe too forcibly or too
large a volume if victim is an infant or small child.

Introduction
GENERAL DESCRIPTION l-l.
The 5440 Series Direct Voltage Calibrators are programmable or stand-alone dc
voltage calibrators with an output voltage range of -1 IOOVdc to $1 lOOVdc and
uncertainty ofthree to four partspermillion (referredto national standards).Designed
for use in production environments as well as in calibration laboratories, the 5440
Series Calibrators operatewithout degradation of uncertainty specifications over a
temperature range of &5”C from the calibration temperature. The 5440Seriescan
accurately calibrate meters of up to 7-l/2 digits.
The 5440Seriesareconvenientto operate.The front panelistilted to makedataentry
easy, and the two vacuum fluorescent displays are easyto read. A numeric Output
Display shows the output value; a separate,40-character, Alphanumeric Display
indicates the operating mode, displays menus of operating features, prompts for
entries, and shows other instrument messages.
The 5440Seriesare equipped with featuresthat simplify operation. Special features
include:

You canpresetoutput voltage and current limits, and can presettolerancelimits
for the unit under test.
An automatic lnterual Calibration procedurecorrectsfor drift in internal offsets
and resistor ratios.
A display-prompted, semi-automatic External Calibration procedurecorrectsfor
long-term referencedrift.
Output voltage and current levelsare automatically monitored.
Output settingscanbeentereddirectly with thekeyboard and canbeincremented
and decrementedwith convenient front panel controls.
Automatic self-testscheck the Calibrator’s status and diagnoseinternal fa,ults.
The IEEE-488 busaddressand RS-232-Cbaudratecanbesetfrom thefront panel
keyboard.
There are two models in the 5440 Series:the 544018and the 5442A.,Each model’s
featuresand capabilities are summarized in Table I-1.
