3. Plug in the miniature connector to input TC1 of the Model 872A.
4. Connect the copper wires to the 100:1 divider (see Figure 4-3) with the
iron wire connected through the 1.98 kilohm resistor, to the dc calibra-
tor positive terminal.
5. Prepare a distilled water bath as outlined in paragraph 4.2.3, step 5.
*The 20
Ω
resistor must be held at a uniform
temperature during calibration.
Figure 4-3. Calibration Setup for Model 872A
4.3.4 Calibration
Procedure
It is not necessary to disassemble the case for calibration. All adjustments
are accessible by removing the covers shown in Figure 4.2.
1. Remove the battery and trimmer compartment covers from the Model
872A.
2. Turn the Model 872A on and perform the calibration adjustments listed
in Table 4-4.
