Meets the intent of Directive 2004/108/EEC for Electromagnetic Compatibility and Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC for specifications as listed in the official Journal of the European EC Declaration of Conformity Communities: EN 61326 IEC/EN 61010 Required Equipment Required equipment is listed in Table B. If the recommended models are not available, equipment with equivalent specifications may be used.
Basic Maintenance Warning To avoid shock, remove the test leads and any input signals before opening the case or replacing the battery. Opening the Meter Case Caution To avoid unintentional shock circuit, always place the uncovered Meter assembly on a protective surface. When the case of the Meter is open, circuit connections are exposed.
Testing Fuses To test the internal fuses of the meter. 1. Turn the rotary switch to the Ω position. 2. To test FUSE 71 (Bussmann DMM-B-11A recommended), plug a test lead into VΩHz input terminal, and use the probe to touch the A input terminal. The display should indicate between 0.0 to 0.3Ω. 3.
Performance Tests The following performance tests verify the complete operability of the Meter and check the accuracy of each Meter function against the Meter’s specifications. Accuracy specifications are valid for a period of one year after calibration, when measured at an operating temperature of 18°C to 28°C and a maximum of 80% relative humidity.
