ADJUSTMENT AND CALIBRATION.
should be used whenever it is necessary to calibrate
the instrument to ensure that it meets published spe­
c i f i ca t ions .
Calibration may be accomplished every
12 months to ensure accuracy over long - t erm use or
more frequently if desired.
a .
Test Equipment.
in Table 6 -6 should be used to ensure proper _result s .
Other equipment may be substituted i f specificat ions
meet or exceed those given.
h.
Environment.
The calibration should be per form­
ed in a controlled environment .
tion is performed at approximately 2 5 ° C temperature
50%
and less than
relative humidi t y ,
temperature range for calibration is 2 3 ° C to 2 7 ° C .
1 .
Set the Line Switch to 117 or 234V depending
on the line power availabl e .
2 .
Fuse Check:
Verify that the appropriate line
fuse is installed.

3 .
Connect the power cord to a variable trans­
former which has been set to l17V
2V depending on the line power available.
4 .
Connect the short ing link (on the r�ar panel)
between LO and GROUND .
t y , make certain that the chassis is connected to
earth ground by way of the third conductor on the
line cord or by way of a separate clip lead from
GROUND t o earth ground.
5 .
Turn the inst rument power on and allow the
instrument to stabilize at ambient t emperature for
at least 1/2 hour.
temperature coefficients can be utilized as neces­
sary.
