as possible, the Reference Voltage Dial setting is correct within the instrument's specified limit of error. There is no effect present at null.
b. The effect is most apparent on the 0.1,
on the O.l-millivolt range a O.l-millivolt off-null setting of the reference voltage will
not produce a full-scale meter deflection. This is because the Kelvin-Varley divider output resistance is significant compared to the shunt resistance across the null detector
meter. The IR drop across the divider will cause the meter to be off up to 6%, depending
upon the Reference Voltage Dial settings. On the lOO-millivolt range the maximum error
is 1%.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
4-l.
GENERAL.
The Model 662 Differential Voltmeter measures voltage by the potentiometric (null) method. The variable known voltage is an ultra-stable 500-volt reference supply used in conjunction with a precision multi-dial Kelvin-Varley divider. Electronic
referencing of the 500-volt output to a zener diode standard maintains the reference supply's stability and accuracy.
This method eliminates repeated manual standardization. The
difference between the divider output and the unknown voltage is indicated by the null
detector, a chopper-stabilized vacuum-tube voltmeter. At null the unknown voltage can be
read directly from the in-line dials of the Kelvin-Varley divider.
The input and null
detector are fully guarded to avoid leakage.
