12.3 Fuses
Replacing the Fuses
➭
Open the instrument as described under „Replacing the
Batteries“, see chapter 12.1.
➭
Remove the blown fuse with the help of an object such
as a test probe, and replace it with a new fuse.
Attention!
!
Use specified fuse only!
If a fuse with other tripping characteristics, other cur-
rent ratings or other switching capacities is used, the
operator is placed in danger, and protective diodes,
resistors and other components may be damaged.
The use of repaired fuses or short-circuiting the bat-
tery holder is prohibited.
Location of fuses
12.4 Housing
No special maintenance is required for the housing. Keep
outside surfaces clean. Use a slightly dampened cloth for
cleaning. Avoid the use of cleansers, abrasives and solvents.

Calibrator Messages
The following messages appear at the main or the auxiliary
displays as required. See “Symbols used in the Digital Dis-
play” on page 2 for messages displayed via fixed display seg-
ments.
Blinking Unit of Measure
All calibration functions are balanced/adjusted in accordance
with technical specifications at the factory for each series

calibrator. If a unit of measure blinks,
this indicates that the balancing constant which has been
established and saved to the calibrator is no longer available
for the respective function. If this is the case, results may
deviate from the specification. We recommend sending the
instrument to our Repair and Replacement Parts department
for rebalancing (see chapter 14).

Out of limit = limit value violated (I > 30 mA),
3 acoustic signals are generated at the same
time and the simulator jacks are deactivated.
After eliminaing the cause of the overload, the
output can be reactivated with the ON|OFF key.
lovolt
Current sink
U < 3 V
(insufficient loop impedance)
hiBurd
Current source
High burd = high burden, the voltage applied
by the connected circuit is too high. The resul-
ting voltage at the calibrator exceeds or is equal
to 20 V
