Acceptance Test
As an acceptance test, the following table gives a worst case figure
after a 30 minute warm up time. All deviations that can occur in a
year are added together.

Acceptance Test, PM6685R
To fully test the accuracy of the PM6685R, a reference signal of ex
-
tremely high stability is needed. Examples of such references are
Cesium Atomic references, or transmitted signals from a nationally
or internationally traceable source, like the GPS satellites.

Test Procedure
–
Connect the counter to the line power.
–
Check that the UNLOCK indicator turns on, and then turns off
again within 6 minutes after connecting line power.
–
Connect the 10 MHz reference signal to input A of the counter.
–
Select FREQUENCY A measurement.
–
Select 2 s measuring time.
–
Check that the displayed frequency is 10.00000000 MHz
±0.05 Hz £ 10 minutes after connection to line power.
Rear Input/Output
INT REF Output
–
Connect an oscilloscope to the 10 MHz output on the rear of
the counter. Use coaxial cable and 50 W termination.

Measuring Functions
Preparation for Check of Measuring Function is as follows:
–
Connect a 10 MHz sine wave signal with 2.0 V

via a T-piece to Input A.
–
Connect a cable from the T-piece to Input E (Ext Arm) at the
rear.

ment by displaying the result as shown under the “Display”
column in the following table.
1) Value depends on the symmetry of the signal.
2) Exact value depends on the input signal.
