Page 8: Calibration
7.1.2 Apply a known potential between 0.100V - 2.400V (battery or portable power supply). Measure the potential directly with a multimeter. 7.1.3 Measure the potential reading with the Deep C Meter 300 AD™. These two potentials should be within ± 3 mV. If the difference is greater, send the calibration command through the RS232 interface. -
Page 9: Operation
See Table 6 if communication cannot be established. 8.1.3 Find a good location on the vehicle to mount the Deep C Meter 300 AD™ and attach the articulated mount. Typically, the display unit should be in view at the same time as the probe unit to maximize efficiency. -
