Setup

•  Test Area

 - needs to be free of any high voltage 

transformers or power supplies and away from any 

type of fluorescent lighting or high power lighting.

•  Worksurface

 - needs to be covered with a 

grounded conductive mat at 1.0 x 10³ or less.

•  Technician

 - needs to be connected to equipment 

ground with a 0 ohm resistor in the ground cord.

•  Decade Box 

- needs to be connected to equipment 

ground.

Calibration Verification Procedure

1. 

Use only the test leads that were supplied with the 

meter. 

2. 

Use 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean the two test 

jacks located at the top of the meter. Oil from 

human fingers can affect the accuracy of the meter.

 

3. 

Set the meter’s selector to Battery Test mode. Verify 

that the battery voltage is correct.

 

4.  Connect the test leads to the meter. Connect the 

opposite end of the test leads the resistance decade 

box.  

5.  Set the resistance decade box to 100 kilohms. Set 

the meter’s selector switch to Continuity Test. Verify 

that the meter displays ±5% or ±2º of arc accuracy. 

Short the two test leads, and verify that the meter 

has full scale deflection. 

6. 

Verify that the meter displays ±5% or ±2º of arc 

accuracy when the resistance decade box is set to 

1 megohm and 1 gigohm. Test at both 10 V and 

100 V Surface Test voltages. 

7.  Disconnect the test leads from the resistance 

decade box and connect them to the digital 

multimeter. Verify that the output produces from 

92.7 V to 106.7 V when in the 100 V Surface Test 

mode.
