Calibrating Load Test for Appliance Testers
The Calibrator’s Meter function is used to calibrate an appliance tester’s voltage and
current meters. To perform a load test calibration:
1. Using Figures 7-19, connect the UUT to the Calibrator’s Meter A, COM and V
terminals. Also, make a protected earth (ground) connection between the UUT and
the Calibrator’s PE terminal.
2. Press M.
3. Set ground mode to OFF through the Setup softkey.
4. On the UUT, press Start.
The UUT connects power line voltage to its test socket. The UUT and Calibrator
measure power line consumption and load current.
5. Compare the UUT reading with the Calibrator reading.
