Universal Standards Compare Adapter

The Radian Research Universal Standards Compare Adapter connects an external RADIAN reference standard to a test board through the meter socket, so you can run a standards compare without custom wiring. One socket-based base unit works with single-phase and poly-phase RADIAN standards, and a choice of current and voltage cables matches the terminals on your standard.

Product Highlights

A standards compare checks the reference standard built into your test board against an external reference standard. Both standards measure the same voltage and current at the same time, and the test board software reports the difference. It is how a meter shop confirms the test board is still accurate between calibrations.

The Universal Standards Compare Adapter makes that connection simple. The AL0077 base plugs into the test board meter socket where a meter would go. Current and voltage cables run from the base to your external standard, so every compare uses the same connection point and the same wiring.

The system is modular. Start with the AL0077 base, then choose the current and voltage cables that match your standard’s terminals and the distance between the socket and the standard. Cables come in lengths from 9″ to 48″, with RX, SurLok, 6mm pin, 4mm stackable banana, 2mm, and unterminated ends.

For a ready-to-use setup, the AL0080, AL0083, and AL0097 kits include the base, matched current and voltage cables, and a RADIAN carrying bag. Individual cables are also sold separately to add a configuration or replace a worn cable.

Features

One socket-based adapter for standards compare testing with single-phase and poly-phase RADIAN reference standards.
  • Socket-based base unit — the AL0077 base plugs into the test board meter socket, giving every standards compare the same connection point.
  • Single-phase and poly-phase — works with both single-phase and poly-phase RADIAN reference standards.
  • Line and load current jacks for each phase — SurLok current connections on the base, with 200 A RX and SurLok current cables available.
  • Matches your standard's terminals — current cables with RX, SurLok, 6mm pin, or unterminated ends; voltage cables with 2mm, 4mm stackable banana, or unterminated ends.
  • Lengths for bench and lab layouts — current and voltage cables from 9" to 48".
  • Special configurations — mirrored cables and a single-phase Y-cable (one SurLok to three 6mm pins) for specialized setups.
  • Complete kits or individual parts — AL0080, AL0083, and AL0097 kits include a RADIAN carrying bag (355057); every cable is also sold separately.

Running a Standards Compare, Step by Step

  1. Choose the kit or cables that match the current and voltage terminals on your RADIAN reference standard.
  2. Plug the AL0077 base into the test board meter socket.
  3. Connect the current cables from the base’s line and load jacks to the standard’s current terminals, and the voltage cables to its voltage terminals.
  4. Connect the standard’s pulse output to the test board as described in the test board manual.
  5. In WATT-Net, set the nameplate information, jog to verify the connections, and start the standards compare test.
  6. Save the results to the database and build a Standards Compare Report for your records.

Universal Standards Compare Adapter FAQ

What is a standards compare test

A standards compare runs the same voltage and current through the reference standard built into your test board and an external reference standard at the same time. The test board software compares the two readings and reports the difference. It confirms the test board standard is still within its accuracy between calibrations, and the saved results give you a record for audits.
The adapter works with single-phase and poly-phase RADIAN reference standards. Choose the kit by the current terminals on your standard: the AL0080 and AL0083 kits use RX current cables, and the AL0097 kit uses 6mm pin current cables. Our team can confirm the right cables for your standard.
The AL0077 base plugs into the test board meter socket, the same way a meter does. The test board sources voltage and current into the base, and the current and voltage cables carry them to the external standard. Because the connection point never changes, every compare is wired the same way.
A kit is the simplest way to start. It includes the base, matched current and voltage cables, and a carrying bag. Individual cables make sense when you already own a base and need a different length or termination, a mirrored or Y-cable configuration, or a replacement cable.
WATT-Net includes a standards compare test. After the test runs, save the results to the database, then build a Standards Compare Report to review or print the history for each test board.
