Operating Instructions

Power ON/OFF

Press the Power button to turn the instrument on. To turn the instrument
off, press and hold the Power button.

Auto Power-Off

As a default, the instrument will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of
inactivity. To turn off this feature, refer to the "Enabling/Disabling Auto
Power OFF" section of this manual for additional details.

Output Function

The calibrator is designed for outputting a DC signal.

To avoid electric shock, ensure that the voltage applied between the
calibrator terminals or between any terminal and ground does not
exceed the rated voltage specied for the calibrator. Do not use the
calibrator in situations where the terminal-to-ground voltage exceeds
30V peak.
