4) The current input into the 10A terminal cannot exceed 13.5A; otherwise, the internal fuse of the multimeter will be burned out. The current input into the LO Sense/200mA terminal cannot exceed 650mA; otherwise, the current input fuse on the rear panel may be burned out. DM3068 Performance Verification Guide...

DM3068 may be used to make measurements with the HI and LO inputs connected to mains in such devices (up to 300VAC), or to the branch socket. However, the HI and LO inputs of DM3068 cannot be connected to mains of permanently installed electrical devices such as a main circuit-breaker panel, sub-panel disconnected box or wired motors.

Chapter 1 Test Overview Chapter 1 Test Overview Test Type The performance tests are used to check the measurement performance of the multimeter. DM3068 supports self-test, quick test and routine test. Self-Test Self-test is a series of internal calibration tests which can be used to reliably determine the usability of the instrument.
The quick test is not applicable to the instruments with abnormalities in some certain functions. The multimeter that fails to pass the quick test must be calibrated or repaired before it is put back into use. DM3068 Performance Verification Guide...

Ground the shield of the twisted pair and the shield of the coaxial cable. Unless otherwise noted, ground the LO terminal of the calibrator. As DM3068 is a high-precision measuring instrument, special attention should be paid to the additional error caused by the calibration source and calibration operations. In ideal situation, the accuracy of the verification test and calibration standard source must be at least four times higher than that of the test instrument.
Specifications The allowable error range of each test item, calculated based on the specification of DM3068, is DM3068 User’s Guide provided in chapter 2. For the technical specifications of DM3068, refer to DM3068 Data Sheet (can be downloaded from www.rigol.com).
RIGOL Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test Chapter 2 Performance Verification Test This chapter introduces the routine test methods of DM3068 performance verification test and the quick test methods are also contained. Zero Offset Test The zero offset test inspects the meter’s offset performance at the zero point. It is necessary only when a regular offset occurs to a function and range.
