using 140-01 cable adapter and OUTPUT terminals. Temperature of cold junction must be compensated by
manual setting of RJ value.
Measurement using the calibrator
Thanks to built-in multimeter, the calibrator can be used for basic calibration of some sources of electrical
signals. The table lists the type of adapter which is necessary for a particular measurement.

Tab. 19 Application of cable adapters
Note: Cable adapters Option 40, 60, 70, 80 belong to basic delivery.
Voltage, current and frequency
10 V voltage range, 20 mA current range and frequency up to 15 kHz can be measured using Opt. 40 cable. The
connection simple. The cable is connected to calibrator’s AUXILIARY connector, the other end has bananas
which connect calibrator to the measured object. When making the connection, observe the polarity and connect
the calibrator’s L terminal to the L (common) or grounded terminal of the measurement instrument. To activate
the measurement, select the respective function mode and press INPUT to measure the input value.
ATTENTION
The input terminals of the built-in multimeter are floating. Maximum voltage between
the input terminals and the chassis is 15 Vpk. If this value is exceeded, the multimeter
can be damaged.
If the measurement range is exceeded, the calibrator displays an error message; input terminals are disconnected
only in the voltage and current measurement mode and remain connected in all other modes.
The multimeter allows the measurement of small DC voltages in the range of 0 to 2 V using Option 80 cable
adapter. Connect inner two wires Hu and Lu to the object. To activate the measurement, select mVDC function
mode using METER button in the function menu and press INPUT to measure the input value.
Measurement of resistance or temperature using resistance temperature sensors
Resistance can only be measured using four-wire connection using Opt. 60 cable adapter with four bananas,
labeled Hi, Hu, Lu, Li. Their meaning is as follows:
•
Hi
current terminal H
•
Hu
voltage terminal H
•
Lu
voltage terminal L
•
Li
current terminal L
During the measurement of resistance or temperature using resistance temperature sensors, the rules applicable
to the four-wire connection must be observed.
