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.

4.
Set the calibrator output to a safe voltage (less than 20 V) and disconnect the
THM500 series instrument from the calibrator.
5.
Disconnect the test setup.
