8. CALIBRATION
This chapter describes how to calibrate the 6241A/6242 to ensure that the 6241A/6242 is used within the
specified accuracy ranges.
In order to use the 6241A/6242 in the specified accuracy, periodic calibration at least once a year is recom-
mended.
Contact an ADC CORPORATION sales representative for the calibration service.

*1: Use the 6581 under the following conditions:
Integration time: 10 PLC. Auto ZERO: ON. Within 24 hours following INT CAL.
*2: When much externally induced noise exists, use shielded cables, such as A01001, etc.
