Repairs or servicing should be performed only by qualified personnel. Table B. Required Equipment Equipment Calibrator Required Characteristics AC Voltage Range: 0 ~ 750V AC Accuracy: ±0.07% (Basic) Frequency Range: 40 ~ 1KHz Accuracy: ±2% DC Voltage Range: 0 ~ 1000V DC Accuracy: ±0.006% (Basic) Current Range: 0 ~ 10A Accuracy: AC (40Hz to 1KHz): ±0.
Basic Maintenance Warning To avoid shock, remove the test leads and any input signals before opening the case or replacing the battery. Opening the Meter Case Caution To avoid unintentional shock circuit, always place the uncovered Meter assembly on a protective surface. When the case of the Meter is open, circuit connections are exposed. To open the Meter case, and do the following: 1. Disconnect test leads from any live source, push the button to OFF, and remove the test leads from the front terminals.
Performance Tests The following performance tests verify the complete operability of the Meter and check the accuracy of each Meter function against the Meter’s specifications. Accuracy specifications are valid for a period of one year after calibration, when measured at an operating temperature of 18°C to 28°C and a maximum of 80% relative humidity.
6. Set the calibration for the voltage from step 1 to 8 in Table 2. 7. Compare the reading on the Meter display with the display reading shown in Table 2. 8. If the display reading falls outside of the range shown in Table 2, the meter does not meet specification. Table 2 DC Voltage Test: Step Input Reading 1 3.0V 2.8 to 3.2 2 -3.0V -2.6 to -3.4 3 30.0V 29.5 to 30.5 4 -30.0V -29.3 to -30.7 5 600.0V 593.8 to 606.2 6 -600.0V -593.6 to -606.4 7 900.0V 890.8 to 909.2 8 -900.0V -890.
Testing the AC Current Function To verify the accuracy of AC current measurement functions, do the following: 1. Open jaw of the meter around the suitable wire or conductor. 2. Push the button to start your meter. 3. Apply the inputs for steps 1-4 in Table 4. 4. For each input, compare the readings on the Meter display to the reading in Table 4. 5. If the display reading falls outside of the range shown in the Table 4, the meter does not meet specification.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE Recalibrate your meter: It is recommended that the meter may be calibrated once year. Use the following procedure to calibrate the clamp meter. 1. Perform calibration at an ambient temperature and relative humidity (23°C±2°C and R.H.≤80%). Allow instrument to sit at this temperature for at least thirty minutes. 2. Disconnect the test leads from any circuit under test and turn off meter. 3.
