4) Manually Stepping the mA Output
When the rotary function switch is in the
OUTPUT
[ mA
position, and the
OUTPUT
jacks are connected to an
appropriate load, the meter produces a steady mA dc output.
The meter begins sourcing or simulating 0 %. Use the
pushbuttons to step the current up and down in 25 %
increments as shown in Table 2. See Table 3 for mA values
at each 25 % step. Select either sourcing or simulating by
choosing the
SOURCE
or
SIMULATE
output jacks
Note
The COARSE and FINE adjustment pushbuttons described
in Table 1 are available when manually stepping the mA
output.

Changing the Current Span
The meter’s current output span has two settings (with
overrange to 24 mA):
●
4 mA = 0 %, 20 mA = 100 %
●
0 mA = 0 %, 20 mA = 100 %(factory default)
To find out which span is selected, short the
OUTPUT
and - jacks
, turn the rotary function switch to
OUTPUT
[ mA, and observe the 0 % output level. To toggle
and save the current output span in nonvolatile memory
(retained when the power is turned off):
1. Turn off the meter.
2. Hold down
RANGE
while turning the meter on.
3. Wait at least 2 seconds, then release
RANGE
.
3) Producing a Steady mA Output
When the rotary function switch is in the
OUTPUT
[ mA
position, and the
OUTPUT
jacks are connected to an
appropriate load, the meter produces a steady mA dc output.
The meter begins sourcing or simulating 0 %. Use the
pushbuttons to adjust the current as shown in Table 1.
Select either sourcing or simulating by choosing the
SOURCE
or
SIMULATE
output jacks.
Note
The STEP pushbuttons described Table 9 are available
when the meter is producing a steady mA output. The
STEP pushbuttons go to the next multiple of 25 %.
