*  The  0.002 milliohm tolerance is an internal unpublished specification. The official published 

specification is 0.005 milliohms for the 2 milliohm range.  All other ranges are as pub/- 

5 least significant digits for the allowable zero error.

This completes the field verification procedure.  There are no user adjustable components. If an alignment failure is 

found during the verification, contact Avtron Aerospace, Inc., to return the unit for repair. 

 

 

NOTE 

 

Perform the above field calibration procedure  after a full charge while on a non-metallic work 

surface without any other T477W Bonding Meters in the near vicinity. 

 

 

The K777 unit provides a good field verification of the T477W Bonding Meter’s performance excluding the probes.  The 

probe sets should also be tested to verify that they provide proper readings with the Bonding Meter.  Avtron provides 

calibration service on both the T477W and the K777 products. 

 

Our calibration service provides, in addition to the K777 test values, the following: environmental tests from 5 degrees to 140 

degrees Fahrenheit; battery response/endurance at the preceding extremes, accuracy of the unit at the preceding extremes, 

uncertainties induced from the different styles of probes, auto-shutoff time verification, charging waveform check, the unit’s 

burden/threshold levels and additional measurement test points not available on the K777.  The calibration includes a detailed 

certificate and data if requested.  Factory repair is available at additional cost if required. 

 

Prior to sending equipment to Avtron Aerospace, Inc., for calibration or service, please contact us to receive an RMA number 

and instructions on where to send the items. Please visit our website for contact and product information at
