66 -- PANEL METER CALIBRATOR SOL M00146-00-Q-9027 DUE 032000 POC Cherie Daniels, Contract Specialist, 252-466-7504, or Anna O'Brien, Procurement Technician, 252-466-2845/Fax 252-466-3571 The Naval Aviation Depot, MCAS, Cherry Point, NC has a requirement for a Model 1040C Panel Meter Calibrator, 47-500 Hz Line Power Operation Standard, which includes a Hand Held Unit, Voltage Cable, 3 Meter (10 ft.), Current Cable, 3 Meter (10 ft.), Power Cord, Operation and Maintenance Manuals manufactured by Arbiter Systems. (i) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) This solicitation number is M00146-00-Q-9027. (iii) This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ).(iv) The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-15 and Defense Acquisition Circular 98-15. (v) The SIC Code is 3825 with a corresponding size standard of 500. (vi) It is intended that only one contract will be awarded for all items. (vii) The following describes the essential characteristics of the Model 1040C Panel Meter Calibrator 47-500 Hz Line Power Operation Standard (quantity 2 each), includes Hand Held Unit, Voltage Cable, 3 Meter (10ft.), Current Cable, 3 Meter (10ft.), Power Cord, Operation and Maintenance Manual. The Model 1040C Panel Meter Calibrator (PMC) integrates into one compact, portable package with eight calibration functions: voltage, current, frequency, power, power factor, phase, VARS, and synchroscope. A hand-held control is also provided, so you can operate the Model 1040C at a distance when calibrating panel meters in the control room or substation. The precision ac/dc voltage and current sources may be operated independently to calibrate voltmeters, ammeters and frequency meters, or together to calibrate watt-meters, watt-hour meters, power factor meters, VAR meters, and phase-meters. Extensive self-test, diagnostic and calibration features are standard on the Model 1040C. The self-tests verify instrument performance; should a fault be detected, it can be localized with the diagnostic functions. Calibration may be performed manually from either the front panel, or automatically via the standard IEEE 488 interface. Operation: The PMC output cables are connected to the device under test, and the output values for current, voltage, frequency, power or phase are set either from the front panel or remotely via the IEEE 488 (GP-IB) Interface Bus. Parameters selected from the front panel keyboard, or via GP-IB, are displayed on a bright, easy-to-read vacuum fluorescent display. A settling indicator is provided to eliminate erroneous measurements. Memory for up to 99 output settings is provided for storing frequently-used values, such as a set of cardinal points for one or more meters. Settings can also be displayed as error in percent of full scale for the meter under test. The hand-held control for remote calibration of panel meters allows operation up to 3 meters (10feet) from the Model 1040C PMC. The standard output cables are also 3 meters long; 6-meter output cables, and a 3-meter hand-held unit extension are optionally available. Calibration and Diagnostics: Allows adjustment of internal calibration constants from either the front panel keyboard, or remotely via GP-IB. Each operating range is calibrated for optimum performance in that range. Extensive self-test and diagnostic features are provided. A self-test is performed upon power-up, exercising major modules on the PMC and verifying accuracy before routine operation is begun. Diagnostic tests allow the operator to localize failures of individual circuit cards or components.
