Introduction
This chapter demonstrates the use of the Calibrator with actual calibration examples. For
each Calibrator function, calibration steps along with connection figures are provided for
at least one UUT.
Calibrating Continuity Testers
XW Warning
To avoid electric shock, use only high-quality, shrouded test
leads and adapters with the appropriate CAT and voltage rating
between the Calibrator and instruments being calibrated.
Continuity is a low-ohms test function typically found on most electrical testers,
including insulation testers and installation testers. To perform a 2-wire resistance
calibration:
1. Using Figure 7-1 for a reference, connect the UUT to the Calibrator’s LOΩ HI and
LO terminals.
2. Press L.
3. If Open or Short is displayed, press the MODE softkey. Then, using the cursor
keys or rotary knob, highlight Resistance 2-Wire and select it by pressing the
Select softkey or pushing in on the rotary knob.
4. In the Output area of the display, verify 2-Wire is displayed. If not, use the
instructions in Chapter 4 to change to 2-wire resistance.
5. If necessary, adjust the value to the desired resistance.
6. Press O.
The resistance is applied to the output terminals. Compare the reading on the UUT
with the standard value on the Calibrator’s display.
