BASIC AND SERVICE ERRORS

Dimensions

All units:

203 x 148 x 78 mm

E.M.C

In accordance with IEC61326 including amendment No.1

Basic and service errors Loop test ranges

The basic error is the maximum inaccuracy of the instrument under ideal

conditions, whereas the service error is the maximum inaccuracy taking into

effect of battery voltage, temperature, interference, and system voltage and

frequency, where applicable.
