c. Set the calibrator output to 3.5 A at 0 Hz and press O. Verify the error is
within specification.
d. Repeat the previous step using 10.0 A at 0 Hz. Verify the error is within
specification.
e. Press Y on the calibrator and press the blue button on the DMM to switch to
ac measurements.
f. Set the calibrator output to 3.5 A at 60 Hz and press O. Verify the error is
within specification.
g. Repeat the previous step using the following calibrator settings:
AC Current Frequency
3.5 A 1.0 kHz
10.0 A 60 Hz
10.0 A 1.0 kHz
4-57. Calibrating the Meter
Continue with calibration if any range was out of tolerance in the previous procedure.
Note
The adjustment for calibrating the meter requires disassembling the meter.
Refer to the diagrams and access procedures in the 80 Series Service
Manual.
