Summary of Contents for Meatest 9010+

  • Page 6 Multifunction calibrator 9010+ is designed as universal calibration tool for electrical calibration laboratories, covering most of their workload like multimeters, clamp meters, ohm meters, power meters and power analysers, energy meters, transducers, insulation testers, process meters, scopes and many others. High load capacity of voltage output (up to 50 mA) allows for calibration of high-consumption analogue meters.
  • Page 7 All input and output terminals are located on left side of front panel. Labels between terminals show overall maximum voltage ratings in standby. Maximum voltage ratings during operation are usually lower and exceeding them might cause damage to the calibrator! See Specifications for detailed ratings. 1.
  • Page 8 Display is divided into several sections with following meaning: 1. Selected function. Symbol on the left indicates system status ( standby,  settling in, ► running). There may be additional Warning symbols on the right: Warm-up in progress. Calibrator is fully operational but it may be outside specifications.
