Total Customer Satisfaction is
the goal of all California
Instruments’ employees. It is the
driving force behind everything
we do. This not only affects the
product that you purchase from
California Instruments, but
everything about your interface
with the company. Our
applications engineers are
ready to assist you with your AC
power application. With over 35
years of experience designing
and building precision AC power
supplies, chances are we can
meet your needs and exceed
your expectations. The same
dedication to customer
satisfaction you will find in our
applications group also
permeates our modern
manufacturing facility where our
products are carefully built. No
unit leaves our factory without
being thoroughly tested to
ensure quality, reliability and
conformance to specifications.
CE Mark
The 801RP and 1251RP have
been fully tested for compliance
with 1997 CE Mark requirements.
This allows both AC power sources
to be used in the European
Economic Community.
