Calibrate current
High range
Let the unit sit with input ON for one minute.
Connect an external power supply to the load's input terminals with below configuration:
– EL33133A: Set power supply to 3 V with a current limit of 40 A.
– EL34143A/EL34243A: Set power supply to 3 V with a current limit of 60 A.
Connect a current shunt resistor in series with the unit's input and a DMM to measure the voltage across the shunt
(see
). Turn on the input of the power supply.

Measure the input current (POINT 1) with the DMM.
Note: Wait 5 minutes for the current to stabilize before measuring the voltage drop at the shunt resistor and calculate the shunt
current (I=V/R).
