7. Observe the display. If the “Overflow” message is
displayed, select a higher range. Use the lowest range
possible for the best resolution.
8. Take a reading from the display. If the reading is
noisy, it may be necessary to change the filter
response. (See paragraph 3.2.5 for details on
filtering.)
Zeroing
The specification term “when properly zeroed” means
that you must establish a baseline for subsequent mea-
surements on that range. All Model 1801 DCV ranges
require proper zeroing to achieve rated accuracy. The
zeroing procedure described below should be performed
at the interval and changes in ambient temperature given
in the specifications in Appendix A.
To zero (rel) the Model 1801, follow the steps below:
1. Disable rel if presently enabled by pressing the REL
key. The REL annunciator should be off.
2. Select the range to be used for the measurement.
3. Disconnect the input leads from the signal source,
then short the ends of the leads together. Allow suffi-
cient time for thermal offsets and noise to stabilize.
4. Press the REL key. The display will read zero.
5. Remove the short, and connect the input leads to the
signal to be measured.
3.3.2 AC voltage measurements
The Model 1801 can detect low-frequency RMS AC
voltages as low as 100pV and measure a maximum of
500µV RMS. Assuming “bench reset” conditions (see
paragraph 3.12.1 of the Model 2001 Operator’s Manual),
the basic procedure for making AC voltage measurements
is as follows:
1. Connect the input cable to the INPUTS terminals on
the preamplifier module, and connect the output leads
to the Model 2001 rear panel INPUT jacks (see Fig-
ure 3-3).
2. Set the INPUTS switch to the REAR position.
3. Press CONFIG ACV, then select the desired operat-
ing conditions.
4. Press the ACV key to select the AC volts function.
5. Connect the input leads to the voltage source, as
shown in Figure 3-3.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 1V peak at 100mA
between the INPUTS HI and LO ter-
minals, or the preamplifier may be
damaged. (Inputs over 2mV peak will
require a one-minute recovery period.)
6. Take a reading from the display.
