OPERATION
4.1 Compatibility
The MiniFlex
®
is compatible with any multimeter, AC voltmeter, or other
voltage measuring instrument with an input impedance greater than 1M
W
.
To achieve the best overall accuracy, use the MiniFlex
®
with an AC voltme-
ter having an accuracy of 0.75% or better.
4.2
Tips for Making Precise Measurements
• When using the MiniFlex
®
with a meter, it is important to select the
range that provides the best resolution. Failure to do this may result in
measurement errors.
• For best results, select the highest MiniFlex
®
output signal possible
and the most sensitive meter range for this output.
• Make sure the DMM or measuring instrument can accurately measure
mV
AC
. Certain inexpensive DMM have poor resolution and accuracy
when measuring low mV
AC
.
• For best accuracy, center the MiniFlex
®
around the conductor to be
measured.
• The overall measurement accuracy is the sum of the MiniFlex
®
accu-
racy and the displaying instrument accuracy.
