Calibration
Any
:
Meg may be returned to the
factory for calibration. Contact our
Customer Service Department at 00 44
(0) 1892-665313 for a Return Material
Authorization. Written Purchase Orders
are required for calibration services.
A check on the function of the
:
Meg
can be performed with the following
procedure. You will need 1% resistors of
the following values: 100K, 1M, 10M,
100M, 1G and 10G ohms. These
precision resistors will be placed across
the two electrodes on the bottom of the
meter (see Figure 8).
A. Place the
:
Meg on an insulator (e.g.
Teflon or glass) and press the white test
button. Only the first red LED on the
right, marked “On” should be
illuminated. If this LED fails to light, the
battery should be replaced before
proceeding.
B. Place the 10G ohm resistor across
the middle electrode and the side
electrode as illustrated in
Figure 8. Press the test button. The
second LED should light. Be sure not to
contact the leads or the buttons as your
body’s resistance will affect the
readings.

:
Meg
C. Continue this process with each
consecutive resistor, checking to make
sure the appropriate LEDs are
illuminated. If all resistors check
properly, the unit’s calibration is verified.
