THM420 Performance Verification

Handheld and Benchtop Instruments Basic Service

The following check verifies resistance measurement accuracy.

1. Turn the THM420 rotary switch to

2. Connect the resistance source output to the THM420

COM

and the

input connectors.

3. Set the controls of the THM420 and the resistance source to each of the

values listed in Table 11; then verify that the THM420 readout remains
within the readout limits.

2. Connect the THM420

COM

input to the

input with a shorting

strap.

3. Verify that the THM420 readout indicates approximately 0.000V and the

beeper sounds.

4. Disconnect the test setup.

The following check verifies frequency measurement accuracy.

1. Turn the THM420 rotary switch to Hz.

2. Connect the frequency source output to the THM420

COM

and the

input connectors.

3. Set the controls of the THM420 and the frequency source to each of the

values listed in Table 12; then verify that the THM420 readout remains
within the readout limits.
