After the value stabilizes, press WRITE display button to write new calibration value.
Terminals of the calibrator will switch OFF automatically.

AUTOCAL function
To remove the effects of short-term drift and thermal dependency of the simulation, AUTOCAL function can be
used. It can only be activated in the calibration mode.
Use of AUTOCAL function influences the zero value of DC voltage generated by the calibrator. Use of the
function is recommended only after the calibrator reaches the operating temperature.
Procedure:
•
Use a display button to enter the calibration mode. Enter the calibration code and confirm by pressing
ENTER.
•
Use the cursor buttons or potentiometer to select the AUTOCAL function from the calibration menu. After
the function is activated, only one option - OFFSET ACAL - is provided. Press SELECT display button to
confirm the option.
•
The calibration includes two steps. During the first step, Hi-Lo terminals must be shorted. Use a short cable
to connect the terminals. During the second step, the calibrator requests the disconnection of Hi-Lo
terminals. Follow the instructions provided on the display:
- when requested to do so, short calibrator’s Hi-Lo terminals. Press NEXT display button.
- the calibrator performs internal measurement for ca 30 seconds. During this period, progress
information is displayed in the bottom part of the display.
- after the measurement completes, the calibrator requests the disconnection of Hi-Lo terminals.
Disconnect the cable and confirm by pressing NEXT display button.
- the calibrator performs internal measurement of voltage ranges for ca 8 minutes. During this period,
progress information is displayed in the bottom part of the display.
- after the measurement completes, the calibrator returns to the calibration mode.
- press EXIT display button to return to normal state.
•
Do not connect any terminals during the calibration procedure, with the exception of requested short of Hi-
Lo terminals.
