MX Series  211 
AC Volt Full-scale:  Program the output to the 300 VAC range. Close the 
output relay.  Program the output to 240 VAC and 60 
Hz.  Go to the MEASUREMENT CALIBRATION screen.  
Enter the actual AC output voltage for the VOLT FS 
parameter and press the ENTER key. Save this value 
by pressing the SET key (Series I models only). 
AC Current Full-scale:  Apply a load to the output.  Refer to Table 6-1.  
Program the output to 120 VAC on the 150 VAC range 
and 60 Hz. (If a 150 VAC range is not available, select 
the 300 VAC range and program the same 120 VAC 
output.) Observe the actual output current and enter 
this value for the CURR FS parameter.  Press the ENTER 
key. Save this value by pressing the SET key 
(Series I models only). 
6.3.2  Measurement Cal - DC 
To calibrate DC measurements, set the power source to the DC mode. Select 
the MEASUREMENT CAL entry from the MENU 3 screen. Refer to section 4.2.13 
for relevant LCD screen. 
NOTE:  For the following calibration steps put the external Digital 
Multimeter into the DC mode. 
DC Volt Zero:  [Applies to MX Series I only] Go to the PROGRAM 2 
screen and program the DC mode.  Go to the PROGRAM 
screen and select the 400 V range.  Set the output to 
+2.0 volts.  Go to the MEASUREMENT CALIBRATION 
screen and enter the value displayed on the external 
meter for the VOLT ZERO parameter. Save this value 
by pressing the SET key. 
DC Volt +Full-scale:  Program the output to +320 volts.  Go to the 
MEASUREMENT CALIBRATION screen.  Enter the actual 
DC output voltage displayed on the external multimeter 
for the VOLT FS parameter and press the ENTER key. 
Save this value by pressing the SET key (Series 
I). 
DC Current Zero:  [Applies to MX Series I only] Select the 200 Volt DC 
range and program 0 volts.  Apply a 80-Ohm, 350-watt 
rated resistive load to the output.  This resistor will 
represent approximately a 2-amp load.  Program the 
output to 160 volts. (If a 200 Volt DC range is not 
available, select the 400 V DC range and program the 
same 160 V output.)
