The following check verifies AC voltage accuracy.

WARNING.

 This test uses hazardous voltages. If you use standard banana plugs

to apply test signals to the THM500 series instrument, do not touch the exposed
conductors.

1. Set the THM500 series instrument to METER mode displaying V-AC. If

the range display at the lower-right corner does not indicate AUTO, press the

Y

 and 

B

 buttons simultaneously to set the RANGE to AUTO.

2. Set the voltage source to 60 Hz AC output.

3. For each row of Table 8, use the 

Y

 and 

B

 buttons to set the THM500 series

instrument to the range specified in the first column; then set the voltage
source to the output voltage specified in the second column. Verify that the
THM500 series instrument readout is within the range listed in the third
column.
