Megger MPRT 8415 User Manual Download Page 155

Page: 155 / 168

10.001 V * 6.5 Hz/V = 65.0065 Hz

For this example, the displayed

in the

Transducer Output

section of the

Transducer

Test Screen

should read 65.0091 Hz.

The

Accuracy

displayed in the

Transducer Output

section would be equal to the

following,

(65.0065 - 65.0000/ 65.0000) * 100 = % accuracy or

-0.01

If this were a 0.02 % transducer, then the firmware would compare the accuracy values
between the Setting Screen and the Test Screen and would display

PASS

in the

Transducer Output

section of the test screen..
