TTENTION

 : T

HIS MANUAL MUST BE REFERRED TO INSTRUMENTS WITH SERIAL NUMBER FROM 

002075 

ONWARDS

.

This publication contains operating instructions, as well as a description of the principles of operation, of
the 

UniCal mA

 portable calibrator.

The information covers all models of the instrument, including  its options and accessories.
The  manual is a complete "USER GUIDE", providing  step-by-step  instructions  for  operating  the  UniCal
mA in each of its designed functions.

The present information has been prepared for the sole  purpose  of assisting  operating  personnel in  the
efficient use of the instrument.

Publication  of this information  does not convey any rights to use or  reproduce  it  for  any  purpose  other
than in connection with the installation, operation, and maintenance of the equipment described herein.

The instrument uses sophisticated analog and digital technologies.
Repair and service  requires highly qualified personnel.
We will supply, on request, all pertinent instructions and procedures for service and calibration.
Our  specialists will be glad to give any technical support you may require.

The instrument is powered by an internal group of four Ni-Cd rechargeable  batteries. An external battery
charger module, with power  voltage set  at 110 or 220 V ac,  is supplied as standard.

Always check battery charger data; to modify power supply , see paragraph 8.2
