Required Equipment
A Fluke 5500A Multi-Product Calibrator (or equivalent) is required for the performance test procedures
in this document.
If an equivalent calibrator is used, it must meet the accuracy specifications shown in Table 1.

Preparing for the Performance Test
WWarning
To avoid electric shock or personal injury:
•
Do not perform the following procedures unless qualified to do so. Some
procedures involve the use of high voltages.
•
Always put the calibrator in the Standby mode (STBY) between tests and
before handling the test connections.
To prepare for the performance test
1. Allow the temperature of the UUT to stabilize at room temperature (23 °C ± 5 °C [73 °F ± 9 °F]).
2. Check the fuse and battery, and replace them if necessary. (Refer to the battery and fuse replacement
procedures later in this document for more information.)
