*1: Use the 6581 under the following conditions:
Integration time: 10 PLC. Auto ZERO: ON. Within 24 hours following INT CAL.
*2: When a lot of externally induced noise exists, use shielded cables, such as A01001, etc.
*3: The 3 A and 5 A ranges of the 6242 are calibrated using voltage conversion with a standard resistance.
