Internal Calibration (
ICAL
)
The internal calibration is the meter’s master calibration that makes
scaling the meter without a
signal source possible. Use of a calibrated signal source is necessary to perform an internal
calibration of the meter. Check calibration of the meter at least every 12 months. Incorrect
calibration will affect the ability of the meter to properly read, scale, and display the input.
Notes:
The signal source must have a full-scale accuracy of 0.002% or better between 4 and 20 mA
in order to maintain the specified accuracy of the meter.
Allow the meter to warm up for at least 15 minutes before performing the calibration
procedure.
