Cleaning
Cleaning
XWWarning
To avoid electrical shock:
• Remove test leads and any input signals before cleaning.
• Do not reinstall the pca until it is completely dry.
• Dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings.
W Caution
To avoid damaging the Meter, do not use aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated
solvents for cleaning. These solutions will react with the plastics used in the
instruments.
Do not use detergents of any kind for cleaning the pca.
Clean the instrument case with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
The pca may be washed with isopropyl alcohol or hot deionized water and a soft brush. Remove excess
cleaning material with clean dry air at low pressure, then dry the pca at 50 °C.

Performance Tests
The following performance tests verify the complete operation of the Meter and check the accuracy of
each Meter function against its specifications. The recommended calibration interval is 12 months. If the
Meter fails any part of the test, calibration adjustment and/or repair is indicated.
In the performance tests, the Meter is referred to as the unit under test (UUT).

Performance Tests
Note
When calibrating or measuring ac current, avoid the potential for errors from coupled noise by either:
1. Shorting the VeG to the COM input
or
2. Having no connection to the VeG input.
1. Set the Meter’s Rotary Switch to the position called for in Table 2, and for all measurements other than
current (amps), connect the calibrator to the VeG and COM input terminals.
• If testing the milliamps function, connect the calibrator to the Meter 400 mA and COM input
terminals.
• If testing the amps function, connect the calibrator to the Meter 10A and COM input terminals.
2. Referring to Table 2 or Table 3, apply the indicated calibrator output voltages to the UUT for each test.
3. Verify that the UUT displays a reading that is within the limits shown in the Meter Response column.

Calibration Adjustment
Perform the calibration adjustment procedures if the Meter fails the performance tests.
The Meter buttons behave as follows when the calibration mode is enabled:
H Press and hold this button to test the present function. This measurement is uncalibrated and
may be inaccurate. This is normal.
M Press and hold this button to display the required input.
B Press this YELLOW button to store the calibration value and advance to the next step. This
button is also used to exit calibration mode after the calibration adjustment sequence is
complete.
Note
When calibrating or measuring ac current, avoid the potential for errors from coupled noise by either:
1. Shorting the VeG to the COM input
or
2. Having NO connection to the VeG input.
Note
After pressing the yellow button, wait until the step number advances before changing the calibrator
source or turning the Rotary Switch.
4. After each input value is applied, press the yellow button to accept the value and proceed to the next
step (C-02 and so forth).
5. When the last step in a function is reached, turn the Rotary Function Knob to the next required
function. The Meter will not allow a step to be completed if the Rotary Function Knob is turned to the
wrong function.
Note
If the calibration adjustment procedure is not completed correctly, the Meter will not operate
correctly. When calibration adjustment is not performed correctly, the Meter displays the messages
CAL and Errand the Meter must be recalibrated.
The Meter is damaged and requires service if:
• CAL and Err messages continue to appear after a proper recalibration.
• EEPr and Err messages are alternating on the display.
• EEPr message appears on the display.
