
The power switch turns on and off Calibrator power. The switch is a latching push-push type. When
the switch is latched in, Calibrator power is on.


The ZERO CAL key lets you do an ohms zero or a full-zero calibration.


The DIV (Divide) key immediately changes the output to 1/10th reference value (not necessarily the
present output value) if the value is in performance limits. In the SCOPE mode,  changes the
output to the next lower range.


The MULT (Multiply) key immediately changes the output to 10X the reference value (not
necessarily the present output value) if the value is in performance limits. This key sets the
Calibrator to standby if this change is from <33 V. In the SCOPE mode,  changes the output to
the next higher range.


The MEAS TC (Measure Thermocouple) key starts the TC (Thermocouple) input connection and
makes the Calibrator calculate a temperature derived from the voltage that is at the input.

Output Units Keys
The output units keys choose the function of the Calibrator. Some keys have a secondary unit if 
is pushed just before the units key. The output units are:
Voltage or Decibels relative to 1 mW into 600 Ω

(impedance changeable).
Watts or Current

Resistance

Frequency or Seconds (seconds applies to the SCOPE functions only)

Capacitance

Temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius


Multiplier Keys
Select output value multipliers. Some keys have a secondary function if  is pushed just before
the multiplier key. For example, if you record 33, then push , then , then , and then
, the Calibrator output value is 33 μF. The multiplier keys are:
milli (10

kilo (10

mega (10
