Moving these instruments between calibration locations can be difficult because they are often large, heavy and sensitive to environmental conditions.
Transmille developed the 1000A specifically to address this challenge.
The calibrator is integrated into a rugged transport case and weighs only approximately:
9.2 kg
This makes it practical for technicians who regularly perform calibration directly at customer sites or industrial facilities.
Rugged IP67 Transport Case
The Transmille 1000A is installed in a ruggedized case with an:
IP67 rating
The enclosure provides protection against the ingress of dust and water when correctly closed and used according to the manufacturer’s requirements.
This makes the calibrator particularly suitable for transportation and use in demanding environments.
The rugged construction also helps protect the precision electronics during regular transport between calibration locations.
Fast Warm-Up
Portable calibration equipment should be ready for operation quickly after arriving at the calibration site.
The Transmille 1000A has a specified warm-up time of less than:
20 minutes
to achieve its 80 ppm DC voltage performance.
This can significantly improve efficiency during mobile calibration work.
Instead of waiting for a large laboratory calibrator to stabilize for an extended period, technicians can prepare the calibration setup and begin work relatively quickly.
DC Voltage up to 1000 V
The Transmille 1000A generates DC voltage up to:
±1000 V
with best one-year total accuracy of:
±80 ppm
This provides sufficient voltage capability for calibration of a wide range of electrical measuring instruments.
Typical devices include:
- Digital multimeters
- Handheld multimeters
- Analog voltmeters
- Panel meters
- Process instrumentation
- Electrical test equipment
The wide voltage range allows both low-level and high-voltage measurement ranges to be calibrated using one portable source.
DC Current up to 10 A
The Transmille 1000A provides direct DC current generation up to:
±10 A
with best one-year total accuracy of:
±0.05 %
This covers the standard current ranges of many handheld and bench multimeters.
Direct current output eliminates the need for an external current amplifier for many common calibration applications.
For clamp meters requiring substantially higher equivalent currents, the workload can be expanded using a multi-turn current coil.
AC Voltage up to 1000 V
The Transmille 1000A also provides AC voltage generation up to:
1000 V
with best one-year total accuracy of approximately:
±0.08 %
This allows the AC voltage functions of suitable multimeters and other electrical measuring instruments to be calibrated on site.
Combining AC and DC voltage in one portable instrument significantly reduces the amount of calibration equipment that must be transported.
AC Current up to 10 A
AC current generation extends to:
10 A
with best one-year total accuracy of approximately:
±0.1 %
This provides useful coverage for AC current ranges on many electrical measuring instruments.
The combination of AC and DC current generation allows both current measurement modes of a typical digital multimeter to be tested using the same calibration platform.
Resistance up to 100 MΩ
Resistance generation is integrated directly into the Transmille 1000A.
Passive resistance extends to:
100 MΩ
with best one-year total accuracy down to approximately:
±0.02 %
This allows resistance measurement functions of suitable multimeters and other electrical instruments to be calibrated without transporting a large set of individual resistance standards.
Capacitance Calibration
The Transmille 1000A also provides passive capacitance values.
The current manufacturer specification lists a capacitance range from approximately:
1 nF to 10 µF
with best one-year total accuracy of approximately:
0.8 %
This extends the calibration workload to capacitance measurement functions commonly found on modern digital multimeters.
Frequency Generation
The Transmille 1000A provides frequency generation for calibration of frequency measurement functions.
This capability allows suitable:
- Digital multimeters
- Frequency measuring instruments
- Process meters
- Electrical test equipment
to be calibrated using the same portable platform.
Frequency accuracy is specified at approximately:
20 ppm
for the standard instrument.
Thermocouple Simulation
Temperature-related electrical measurement can also be incorporated into the calibration workload.
The Transmille 1000A supports thermocouple simulation for numerous common thermocouple characteristics.
Supported types include common industrial thermocouples such as:
J, K, T, R, S, B, N and E
together with additional characteristics supported by the instrument.
Best one-year total thermocouple performance is specified down to approximately:
±0.22 °C
depending on thermocouple type and operating conditions.
External Thermocouple Adapter
Transmille offers the EA001A Thermocouple Simulation & Measurement Adapter for temperature calibration applications.
The external design places the low-level thermocouple signals away from heat-generating components inside the calibrator.
This helps reduce thermal EMF effects.
The adapter also measures the cold-junction temperature externally close to the thermocouple connection.
This provides a practical solution for calibration of thermocouple indicators and temperature measuring instruments.
Clamp Meter Calibration
The standard current output of the Transmille 1000A extends to 10 A.
For calibration of clamp meters, significantly higher effective currents can be generated using the optional EA002 multi-turn current coil.
The EA002 provides:
2-turn
10-turn
and:
50-turn
coil configurations.
A multi-turn coil multiplies the effective ampere-turns seen by the clamp meter.
This allows high-current clamp meter ranges to be tested without generating the equivalent current through a single conductor.
The EA002 is designed for both AC and DC applications and supports a wide range of clamp sizes.
Insulation Tester Calibration
The workload of the Transmille 1000A can be expanded using the optional insulation test functionality.
This option allows both insulation and installation tester functions to be calibrated.
It adds:
- Simulated insulation resistance
- Simulated continuity resistance
- Test voltage measurement
- Test current measurement
to the 1000 Series platform.
This can significantly broaden the range of electrical instruments that can be calibrated using the portable system.
Continuity Tester Calibration
The Transmille 1000 Series can also be configured for continuity tester calibration.
Variable continuity resistance can be generated for testing suitable installation and multifunction testers.
The system can additionally measure continuity test current.
This means a mobile calibration technician can cover not only conventional multimeters but also selected electrical installation testers with the same basic platform.
Wide Workload Coverage
The Transmille 1000A is designed to provide the functions normally expected from a significantly larger laboratory calibrator.
Typical calibration applications include:
- Digital multimeters
- Analog multimeters
- Clamp meters
- Voltage meters
- Current meters
- Resistance meters
- Capacitance meters
- Frequency measurement functions
- Thermocouple indicators
- Continuity testers with appropriate option
- Insulation testers with appropriate option
This broad workload can reduce the number of separate standards that must be transported for on-site calibration.
Suitable for Analog and Digital Instruments
Portable calibration is not limited to modern digital equipment.
Older analog instruments can require considerably more drive capability than modern high-input-impedance digital meters.
Transmille designed the 1000 Series with sufficient output capability for many older analog instruments while maintaining the accuracy required for modern digital instruments.
This makes the 1000A particularly useful for calibration service providers with a diverse customer workload.
USB Connectivity
The Transmille 1000A includes a USB interface.
This enables connection to a computer for remote control and automated calibration.
USB connectivity is particularly useful for mobile applications because it provides a straightforward connection to a laptop without requiring legacy interface hardware.

Combining the portable calibrator with software automation can help:
- Reduce manual setting operations
- Reduce transcription errors
- Standardize calibration procedures
- Increase calibration throughput
- Improve repeatability
- Simplify measurement documentation
This provides an efficient solution for mobile calibration teams performing repetitive calibration tasks.
On-Site Calibration
The Transmille 1000A has been designed specifically with on-site calibration in mind.
Calibrating equipment directly at the customer’s location can provide several advantages.
Instruments may be:
- Permanently installed
- Difficult to transport
- Required continuously for production
- Integrated into larger systems
- Located far from a calibration laboratory
Taking the calibration standard to the instrument can reduce transportation effort and equipment downtime.
Mobile Calibration Laboratories
The 1000A is also well suited to mobile calibration laboratories.
Its compact dimensions and low weight allow the calibration platform to be integrated into service vehicles or transported manually to the calibration location.
Because voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency and thermocouple functions are combined in one instrument, the number of individual standards required for a mobile laboratory can be reduced.
Compact Dimensions
The Transmille 1000A measures approximately:
257 mm high × 432 mm wide × 180 mm deep
and weighs approximately:
9.2 kg
These dimensions are particularly compact for a calibrator capable of generating up to 1000 V AC/DC and 10 A AC/DC.
The combination of compact dimensions and rugged enclosure is one of the main differences between the 1000A and conventional laboratory multiproduct calibrators.
1000A Compared with the 1000B
The Transmille 1000 Series is available in two main configurations.
The 1000A is the portable version and is integrated into a rugged IP67 transport case.
The 1000B is designed primarily as a compact benchtop calibrator.
Both instruments share the core philosophy of providing broad multiproduct calibration functionality in a compact format.
The 1000A is the preferred configuration when regular transportation and on-site calibration are important requirements.
