V 2.0 12/04
4
DC Voltage Output (0 to 1V, 0 to 12V, 0 to 100mV)
1. Ensure that the meter's test leads are not shorted or connected to any devices.
2. Slide the function switch to the
'V, mV
' position and wait for STANDBY to extinguish.
3. Connect the meter's red (positive) and black (negative) test leads to the device or
circuit under test. Use alligator clips if necessary.
4. Select the desired output range by pressing the
SHIFT
button and then the voltage
range key
(mV 1V 12V)
until the range is selected. The following meter displays (on
left) correspond to the ranges shown at right:
00.000 V:
0 to 12.000V range
0.0000 V:
0 to 1.0000V range
000.00 mV: 0 to 100.00mV range
5. Once the proper range is selected, press the
SHIFT
button again.
6. Enter an output voltage value using the numeric keys (for example, in the 100mV
range, press '50') then
ENTER
. Keep in mind that the maximum number of digits that
can be entered is 5.
7. If the circuit under calibration is shorted, the meter will display the
OL
(overload) alarm
warning and will emit a series of beeps.
Temperature Output (Type K, J, E, T Thermocouple Simulations)
1. Slide the function switch to the '
o
C/
o
F
' position and wait for the STANDBY display to
extinguish.
2. Connect the thermocouple connection cable to the meter's TC output (the jack is
located just above the ON/OFF switch). 'K' and 'J' type thermocouples are supplied.
3. Connect the other end of the thermocouple cable to the device under calibration.
4. Select the thermocouple type to simulate by pressing the
SHIFT
button and then the
'6/
KJET
' key until the desired type appears on the right side of the LCD (Type K, J, E, or
T).
5. After selecting the type press the
SHIFT
button again.
6. Type a temperature output value using the numeric keypad and then press
ENTER
.
Note there is a 4-digit limit. To type a negative temperature value, press the
minus
key
first, then enter the desired output temperature.
7. A signal will be sent to the device under calibration (a panel meter, for example)
simulating a thermocouple.
8. Press
the
SHIFT
key then the
'°F°C'
key to select the correct unit of measure.
NOTE:
Connect the thermocouple connecting cable to the meter and the device under
calibration well in advance of use (20 minutes or so) to acclimate the devices to the
ambient temperature. This will ensure optimal precision.
Frequency Output (1k
Ω
min. load)
1. Ensure that the meter's test leads are not shorted or connected to any devices.
2. Slide the function switch to the
'Hz'
position and wait for STANDBY to extinguish.
3. Connect the meter's red (positive) and black (negative) test leads to the device or
circuit under calibration. Use the banana-alligator clip leads if necessary.
4. Enter the desired frequency using the numeric keypad. Note that the top (smaller) LCD
digits are a continuation of the main LCD digits string; this provides the full display
resolution required.
5. All frequencies below 125Hz are available in 1 Hz steps. Selected frequencies from
125 to 62,500 Hz are available per the list in the Appendix table at end of manual.
