Calibration Adjustment

The Product features closed-case calibration adjustment and uses known
reference sources. The Product measures the applied reference source,
calculates correction factors, and stores the correction factors in nonvolatile
memory.

Should the Product fail any of the performance tests, do the calibration
adjustment procedure.

When “C-01” is shown on the display, apply the correct input signal shown in

Table 4 to the Product. Then push  to confirm the calibration step. If the

input signal does not satisfy the calibration requirement, “Err” is shown. If the

signal is not stable, it can be necessary to push  several times to confirm the
calibration.

After confirmation, the Product goes to the subsequent calibration step.

Note

After you push , wait until the calibration step number advances
before you change the calibrator source. Some adjustment steps
can take several seconds to execute before the Product goes to the
subsequent step.

Set the Calibrator to Standby after you complete adjustment of each
function.

 Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
Do not change source value until calibration step number on

the display has incremented.

Input each signal to the Product in the sequence shown in Table 4. When the last

calibration point is recorded, “End” shows on the display.

Note

While the calibration adjustment points are shown in Table 4, the
Product also can show the necessary inputs. For each step, push
 to see the necessary input and then push to see the
measured value.
