6.3 Resistance Test, 2-wire 

The following procedure may be used to verify the accuracy of the 2-wire function. 

t the 

 

ut  

0 

Ω

 from the calibrator.  Allow the DMM to settle for a few seconds, and perform the 

Relative

 function.  (This 

effectively nulls out the lead resistance of your cabling.  If you are using a Fluke 5700A or 5520A Calibrator, the 
2-wire Compensation feature will give a more accurate 2-wire ohms measurement.  See the 

Fluke Operator's 

Manual 

for further instructions.) 

 
3.  Apply the following Resistance values to t

 Check to see that the displayed reading on 

the DMM is within the indicated range.
