Notes for AC current specifications:
1 These specifications are defined for signal input > 5% of range.
2 Current can be measured from 2.5 A up to 10 A continuously. An additional 0.5% needs to be added to the specified
accuracy if the signal measured is in the range of 10 A to 20 A for 30 seconds maximum. After measuring a current of
> 10 A, it is recommended that the meter is left to cool down (in switched OFF state) for twice the length of measurement
time used, before using it again to make low-current measurement.
3 Additional error to be added for frequency > 15 kHz and signal input < 10% of range: 3 counts of LSD per kHz.
4 Verified by design and type tests.
5 Input current > 35 µArms.
6 Input current < 3 Arms.
7 2% over-range on all ranges except AC 1000 V range.
