The above accuracies are independent of thermal emfs which can be
up to 3uV depending on the type of leads and connections used. This should
be allowed for in the expected accuracy.

The output is via 4mm low thermal emf shrouded sockets (0.2uV/degC).
A mains earth socket is provided for screening purposes. A three position
output switch allows the output to be reversed or disconnected as required.
A rear panel connector is provided for the null amplifier output, 0 to +/-200mV
representing the indicator full scale.
Sensitivity: Max 1uV. Min 200mV fsd. Input R:>1Mohm. Rem o/p +/-200mV
The 1018 can be powered continuously from a 230V 50/60 Hz (110V to order)
mains supply, or from the internal rechargeable battery pack. A front panel
LED indicates when the batteries are low.
0 to 50degC (32 to 120degF). 15 to 25degC for optimum performance.
