5 Performance Tests and Calibration
Input-A Terminal Test
This test determines if the input warning of the A current terminal test is 
functioning properly. The meter sounds an alerting beep when the test 
lead is inserted to the A  input terminal but the rotary switch is not set to 
the corresponding A location. The display indicates a flashing AErr 
annunciator until the test lead is removed from the A input terminal. This 
warning alert is not available in T1/T2 temperature measurements mode.
Input-mA Terminal Alert Test 
This test determines if the detected input voltage level is within the 
accepted boundaries when the 
μ
A/mA
 input terminal is connected. The 
meter sounds an alerting beep when the 
μ
A/mA 
input terminal detects a 
voltage level of higher than 1.6 V. The display indicates a flashing 
CErr 
annunciator until the test lead is removed from the 
μ
A/mA
 input terminal. 
Calibration Process 
1 Prior to performing the verification tests, see Test Considerations. 
2 Perform the verification tests to characterize the meter, see 
Performance Verification Tests.
3 Unsecure the meter for calibration, see Calibration Security.
4 Prior to performing the adjustments, see Adjustment Considerations.
5 Perform the adjustment procedures, see Calibration Adjustments.
6 Secure the meter against unauthorized calibration, see Exiting 
Adjustment Mode. Ensure that the meter has quit the Adjustment Mode 
and turned off.
7 Record the new security code and calibration count in the meter’s 
maintenance records.
The alerting beep will not be impacted even if the beep function is disabled.
