    Figure 2-1. Front Panel The rear panel (shown in Figure 2-2) contains the power-line cord connector, communication interface, the Serial Number Label. TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD, CONNECT THE INSTRUMENT POWER CORD TO A POWER RECEPTACLE WITH EARTH GROUND. THERE ARE NO PARTS TO DISASSEMBLE, NO MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE, 220V 50Hz...

    continuous beep when the input drops below 150Ω (Beep condition can be changed, refer to “Changing the Power-UP Configuration” later in Section 3), and the readings for the test circuit are displayed. The diode test measures the forward voltage of a semiconductor junction at approximately 0.8mA. Readings are displayed in the 3V range at the fast measurement rates.

  • Page 9 Manual Ranging Press AUTO to toggle in and out of manual ranging. The range you are in when you enter the manual range mode becomes the selected range. In manual range, the meter remains in the selected range regardless of input. Press AUTO to toggle back to autoranging.
  • Page 10 For example, if the relative base is 15.000V, and the present reading is 14.100V, the display will show -6%. Press REL again to exit the relative modifier. NOTE The relative modifier cannot be selected if the display shows “OL” or is blank. (The display would be blank, for example, because of range changes.) Selecting the relative modifier (REL) turns off autoranging and locks in the present range.
  • Page 11: Selecting A Measurement Rate (Rate)

    Selecting the Compare Modifier turns off autoranging and locks in the present range. Make sure you are in the correct range before selecting the Compare Modifier. The function modifier is relative to the measurement function refer to the Table 3-5 Table 3-5.

    THE CASE. TO AVOID DAMAGING THE METER HOUSING, NEVER APPLY SOLVENTS TO THE METER. IF THE METER REQUIRES CLEANING, WIPE IT DOWN WITH A CLOTH THAT IS LIGHTLY DAMPENED WITH WATE OR A MILD DETERGENT. DO NOT USE AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS, CHLORINATED SOLVENTS, OR METHANOL-BASED FLUIDS WHEN WIPING DOWN THE METER.
  • Page 14 The following performance tests are provided to ensure that the meter is in proper operating condition. If the instrument fails any of the performance tests, then calibration adjustment and/or repair is needed. To perform these tests, you will need a 5520A Multifunction Calibrator or equivalents. Each of the measurements listed in the following steps assume the instrument is being tested after a one-hour warmup, in an environment with an ambient temperature of 18 to 28℃, and a relative humidity of less than70%.
