FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
INDICATORS
NULL switch
Front panel
S3
Set to VTVM for determining the approximate
value of unknown voltage prior to differential
measurements.
Five null voltage ranges of 10, 1,
0.1, 0. 01, and 0. 001 volts are used for differ-
ential measurements. These ranges represent
full scale differences between the unknown voltage
and the amount of preCision internal reference vol-
tage that is set on the voltage readout dials.

position, the polarity of the upper input binding
post is positive with respect to the lower input

At all other times, the
lower scale, 1-0-1, is used.

From time to time, it may be necessary to .adjust the in-
ternal rreter zero control.
ThlS
will normally be done at
somewhat more frequent intenrals than complete· instru-
ment calibration.. Proceed as .follows:
·
2-2
a. · Mechanically zero the meter with the adjustment
. sc;rew on the front of the meter case.
If
the instrument
is in the case,· it must be shut off for at least three
.minutes prior to this adjustment.
If
out of case, another
method would be to short out the meter terminals prior
to zeroing.
