4.
Connect
the
unknown
voltage to
HI and
LO
SENSE INPUT
terminals.
5.
The
multimeter
requires
approximately
six
seconds
for
each accuracy measurement.
2-168.
DC VOLTAGE
{V
DC)
2-169.
Use
the
following procedures
when making
dc
voltage
measurements from
the front panel:
1.
Push
the
V
DC
button
(V
DC
annunciator
lights).
2.
The
multimeter assumes
the
autoranging
mode
at
the highest (1000V
dc) range.
Manual
range
selection
may
also be
made.
Available ranges
are:
1000V, I00V, 10V, IV,
and
100
mV.
3.
Set or
revise
the required measurement
parameters,
mathematic
operations,
and
special
operations
(refer to Figure
2-3).
4.
Apply
the
unknown
voltage
to the
HI and
LO
SENSE INPUT
terminals.
2-170.
APPLICATIONS
2-171. Specific applications
using the multimeter
are
presented
in
Table
2-8. If these
examples
are duplicated
on
the multimeter, a
power-up
or
reset
configuration
is
first
required.
Table
2-8. Applications
APPLICATION
1
(V
AC)
REQUIREMENT:
Characterize on
AC
Standard
(Fluke
5200A)
using the multimeter and
a
known
ac
source.
METHOD:
Connect
the multimeter
(set for
V
AC
HI
ACCUR)
to a
known
value ac source
(such
as a characterized Fluke 5200A). Record
the reading.
Now
connect
the
multimeter
to
another
5200A
(the
one
being
characterized). Adjust
this
second 5200A
for a
High Accuracy
reading equal
to that originally
recorded.
APPLICATION
2
(V
AC)
REQUIREMENT:
Monitor
the
stability of
an ac source
in
terms
of
its
deviation
in
volts
from
a present
output
of
10V
ac.
METHOD:
Store the present
output
as
an
offset.
Push:
STORE OFFSET
Offset
mode
is
now
enabled.
The
multimeter
will
read only the deviation from
the
original
10V ac
reading.
APPLICATION
3
(V
DC)
REQUIREMENT:
Determine which
of a
group
of
power
supplies has
a
tolerance
of
15V
±100
mV.
METHOD:
Set high and low
limits.
