Instruction Manual

Setup and Programming

There is

no need to recalibrate

the meter

when first received from the factory.
The meter is

factory calibrated

prior to

shipment for millivolts with calibration
equipment that is certified to NIST standards.

Overview

There is a 5-position DIP switch to set the meter input
selection. See

Switch Configuration

on page

setup the switch.
Setup and programming is done through the front
panel buttons.
After power and input signal connections have been
completed and verified, apply power to the meter.
