EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
NOTES
Minimum use specifications are the principal parameters required for performance of the verification, and are
included to assist in the selection of alternate equipment, which may be used at the discretion of the using facility.
Satisfactory performance of alternate items shall be verified prior to use. The applicable multimeters, and external
shunt must bear evidence of current calibration. Timer or Stop watch can be verified with a known accurate
timekeeper.
The instruments utilized in this procedure were selected from those known to be available at Naval and Marine
Corps
facilities and the listing by make or model number carries no implication of preference, recommendation, or
approval for use by other agencies. It is recognized that equivalent equipment produced by other manufacturers may
be capable of equally satisfactory performance in this procedure.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
3.1 Ensure that power switch is set to OFF to avoid arcing or damage to the battery or power supply terminals or the
TI battery clamps.
3.2 Connect the Battery or power supply to the TI. Observe polarity.
SECTION 4
VERIFICATION PROCESS
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, verify the results of each test and take corrective action whenever the test
requirement is not met before proceeding.
4.1 Voltmeter tests when its power switch is set to OFF.
4.1.1 TI voltmeter reads battery or power supply volts.
4.1.2 Set the DMM to read DC volts.
4.1.3 Connect the DMM as shown in Figure 1.
4.1.4 Compare the reading of the DMM to the TI voltmeter. Per Table 3
2.1 Two Digital multi-meters
(DMM)
2.2 Calibrated shunt 10 Amperes
per Millivolt
Eg. 500Amp 50mv or 1000Amp
100mv Shunt
2.3 Charged Optima battery or
power supply capable of 400Amps
12.5V - 10V for 15 Seconds
