Warning
Service procedures in this chapter should be performed by
qualified service personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do
not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
4-1. Introduction
This chapter provides calibration and performance tests that allow you to verify that the
Tester is operating within published specifications.
4-2. Required Equipment
The equipment in Table 4-1 is required for performance testing and calibration. If the
recommended models are not available, equipment with equivalent specifications should
be used.
