Setup
• Test Area
- needs to be free of any high voltage
transformers or power supplies and away from any
type of fluorescent lighting or high power lighting.
• Worksurface
- needs to be covered with a
grounded conductive mat at 1.0 x 10³ or less.
• Technician
- needs to be connected to equipment
ground with a 0 ohm resistor in the ground cord.
• Decade Box
- needs to be connected to equipment
ground.
Calibration Verification Procedure
1.
Use only the test leads that were supplied with the
meter.
2.
Use 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean the two test
jacks located at the top of the meter. Oil from
human fingers can affect the accuracy of the meter.
3.
Set the meter’s selector to Battery Test mode. Verify
that the battery voltage is correct.
4. Connect the test leads to the meter. Connect the
opposite end of the test leads the resistance decade
box.
5. Set the resistance decade box to 100 kilohms. Set
the meter’s selector switch to Continuity Test. Verify
that the meter displays ±5% or ±2º of arc accuracy.
Short the two test leads, and verify that the meter
has full scale deflection.
6.
Verify that the meter displays ±5% or ±2º of arc
accuracy when the resistance decade box is set to
1 megohm and 1 gigohm. Test at both 10 V and
100 V Surface Test voltages.
7. Disconnect the test leads from the resistance
decade box and connect them to the digital
multimeter. Verify that the output produces from
92.7 V to 106.7 V when in the 100 V Surface Test
mode.
