To prepare for the performance test:
1. Make sure that you have the required equipment (see Table 2).
2. Warm up the calibrator as required by its specifications.
3. Allow the temperature of the DUT to stabilize at room temperature: 23 °C ±5 °C (73 °F ±9 °F)
4. Check the fuses and battery and replace them if necessary. See Fuse Test (115, 117) and Battery and FuseReplacement.
To verify the accuracy of the DMM functions, do the following:
1. Connect the Calibrator to the VΩ and COM input terminals on the Meter.
2. Turn the rotary switch to the function listed in each step of Table 3 (110, 114, 115, 116, 117) or
Table 4 (113).
3. Apply the input level for each step listed in Table 3 (110, 114, 115, 116, 117) or Table 4 (113).
4. Compare the reading on the Meter display with the Display Reading in Table 3 (110, 114, 115, 116, 117) or
Table 4 (113).
If the display reading falls outside of the range shown, the Meter requires calibration adjustment or repair.

Testing Temperature (116 only)
Connect the K-type thermocouple to the temperature input of the Meter and temperature calibrator. To ensure
an accurate measurement, the Meter and the thermocouple connector must be at the same temperature. After
connecting the thermocouple to the Meter, allow the junctions to stabilize before recording the displayed
reading. This can take several minutes, depending on temperature gradients.
For Fluke 117 with S/N 38920290 through 42913406, use this alternate calibration procedure to verify that

Some adjustment steps require additional wait time after the calibrator settles,
as noted in Table 5 and Table 6.
7. After each input value is applied, press g to accept the value and proceed to the next step (C002).
After you press g, wait until the step number advances before you change
the calibrator source or turn the rotary switch. Some adjustment steps can
take up to several seconds to execute before the next step.
If the rotary switch is not in the correct position for a given step, the meter will
flash the unit annunciators until the rotary switch is put in a valid position. The
keys that show the reading and required input values are not allowed until the
rotary switch is correct.
If the rotary switch is not in the correct position or the measured value is not
within the anticipated range of the input value, the Meter will emit a double
beep and will not continue to the next step when you press g.
After the final step, the display shows End to indicate that the calibration adjustment is complete.
