Manual
Have a qualified engineer perform simple adjustment of the 2553A at a specialized facility with sufficient
precision. The simple adjustment values are retained even when the settings are initialized.
If you need to adjust the 2553A more accurately than that is possible with the simple adjustment feature or if you
want calibration and adjustment to be performed at a YOKOGAWA factory, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA
dealer. If calibration and adjustment are performed at a YOKOGAWA factory, all settings including the simple
adjustment values will be initialized to their factory default values.
• Ground the instrument before connecting the instrument to the target device. The power cord
that comes with the instrument is a three-prong type power cord. Insert the power cord into a
grounded three-prong outlet.
• Be sure to turn off the output before connecting or disconnecting the target device.
French
• Relier l'instrument à la terre avant de le brancher sur l'appareil cible. Le cordon d'alimentation
livré avec l'instrument est doté de trois broches. Brancher le cordon d'alimentation sur une
prise de courant à trois plots mise à la terre.
• Toujours mettre hors tension avant de brancher ou de débrancher l'appareil cible.
In addition to the above items, be sure to observe the warnings and precautions provided in
the "Wiring Precautions" and "Connecting Wires" sections in the 2553A User's Manual, IM
2553A-01EN.
Required Equipment and Components
• Digital multimeter (DMM)
• Standard 10 Ω resistor
• Standard temperature device
• Thermocouple type K
Each piece of equipment and component must be calibrated and with sufficient precision.
Adjustment Conditions
• Ambient temperature: 23°C ± 2°C, humidity: 20%RH to 60%RH (no condensation), warm-up time: at least 60
minutes
• Permitted supply voltage range: 90 VAC to 132 VAC and 180 VAC to 264 VAC, permitted supply frequency
range: 48 Hz to 63 Hz
• For 10 mV, 100 mV, and thermocouple adjustment ranges of the 2553A, perform adjustment with the 2553A
output terminal temperature balanced and stable. During adjustment, be careful in keeping the output
terminal temperature from changing.
• Set the DMM's integration time (NPLC) so that sufficiently stable measurements can be obtained (e.g.,
20PLC or longer).
NPLC: An acronym for Number of Power Line Cycles. It is a way of expressing the integration time.

Wiring
The 2553A and equipment are wired according to each function, namely voltage, current, thermocouple,
resistance, and internal RJC.
For the wiring diagrams, see the wiring examples in the later "Explanation" section.
After wiring, operate the 2553A according to the procedure on the next page.
