Advance Warning Period
In order to inform a user that the future due date for calibration is approaching, the 9100
will place a warning on the screen, starting at a period of time before the due date. During
normal use, a suitable message will appear in a comment box at the top of the screen, after
the warning is due, on three types of occasion:
•
Every time the 9100 is powered on;
•
Every function change into DC Voltage function;
•
Every function change into AC Voltage function.
Setting the Advance Warning Period
During the exit process from Calibration mode, the present setting of the number of days
in advance of the due date appears on the screen above, shown highlighted against one
of the right screen keys. This period can be altered by pressing the appropriate right
screen key.
Final Exit from Calibration Mode
When you are satisfied that the
CAL DUE DATE
and advance warning period are correct,
press the
EXIT
screen key to terminate calibration and return to the Mode Selection
screen.
The stored Cal Date and Cal Due Date will appear on any directly-printed certificate for
this calibration.
