Accuracy

Specified accuracy is valid after 10 minutes warm up in temperature range 23 ± 3

!

C and for power

load up to 1W. Uncertainties include long-term stability, temperature coefficient, linearity, load and line
regulation and traceability of factory to National calibration standards. Accuracies assigned in % are related
to the set value. Specified accuracy is one-year accuracy.

Temperature coefficient

Temperature coefficient outside of the reference temperature range is 10 % of the stated specification per °C
(for example 2x specification for 36°C).

Power coefficient

Power coefficient above 1W is 50 % of the stated specification per W (for example 3x specification for 5W
load).

Short and Open simulation

„SHORT“ resistance is lower than 40 m

. Maximal allowed current is 500 mA.

„OPEN“ resistance is higher than 10 G

. Maximal allowed voltage is 200 Vpk.

Note: Resistance values in range 100 m

 - 20 M

 are calibrated absolutely. Resistance value is not defined

against SHORT position. Short and Open positions are intended for functional checking of tested instrument
only.
