Series 3700 System Switch/Multimeter Reference Manual Section 14: Verification
3700S-901-01 Rev. C / July 2008 14-3
Line power
The Series 3700 requires a line voltage of 100V to 240V (±10%), and a line
frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
NOTE The instrument automatically senses the line frequency at power-up.
Recommended test equipment
The following table summarizes recommended verification equipment. You can
use alternate equipment if that equipment has specifications equal to or greater
than those listed in the table. Note, however, that test equipment uncertainty will
add to the uncertainty of each measurement. Generally, test equipment
uncertainty should be at least four times better (more accurate) than
corresponding Series 3700 specifications.
NOTE The Keithley Instruments Model 3706-190 backplane connector board
is an accessory that can be used to make connections to the
calibrator. Additional boards, such as a 4-wire short or the discrete
resistors, would also be convenient to eliminate rewiring for different
setups used in verification.
