Performance Tests
WWarning
To avoid electric shock, do not perform the performance test procedures unless
the Meter is fully assembled.
The following performance tests verify the complete operation of the Meter and check the accuracy of
each meter function against the Meter’s specifications. If the Meter fails any part of the test, calibration
adjustment and/or repair is indicated.
In the performance tests, the Meter is referred to as the unit under test (UUT).
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.
