µF (16385A), 0.1 µF (16386A), and 1 µF (16387A). One precision capacitor 10 µF (16388A) is also added with the option. All four capacitors have high capacitance stabillity and are virtually unaffected by changes in environmental temperature, ensuring measurement repeatability and reliability. The 16380C was designed for use in calibrating precision impedance measuring instruments (such as LCR meters, impedance analyzers, etc.) that have capacitance ranges between 0.01 µF and 10 µF. The 16380C can be used to directly certify capacitance measurement accuracy over the 0.01 µF to 10 µF range. Contents The 16380C contents are listed in Table 1-1. Initial Inspection Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked mechanically.The contents of the shipment should be as shown in Table 1-1 If the shipment is incomplete, or if there is mechanical damage or defects, notify the nearest Keysight office. If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning material shows signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as the Keysight office. Keep the shipping materials for carrier’s inspection. The Keysight office will arrange for repair or replacement at Keysight Option, without waiting for claim settlement. settlement.

on how to have the 16380C calibrated, contact the nearest Keysight Sales and Service Office. Recommended Calibration Cycle The 16380C should be calibrated at least once a year. More frequent calibration may be required if the 16380C is used in very hot or very cold environments. be required if the 16380C is used in very hot or very cold environments. Repair The 16380C contains no replaceable components. If one of the capacitors becomes damaged, or if its capacitance value is outside specified Limits, the capacitor must be replaced.
