HP 3468A - Environmental and Specification Limits

ental Requirements
When the 3468A is calibrated, careful note should be taken of the ambient
temperature. In order to meet and maintain the specifications listed in Table 5-3,
the 3468A should be operated within + 5°C (+ 9°F) of the calibration
temperature, also called the reference temperature. As it comes from the factory,
the 3468A should be operated within an ambient temperature range of 23°C
+5°C (73°F +9°F). The instrument may be operated within an ambient
temperature range of O°C to 55°C (+32°F to 131°F) but with reduced ac-
curacy.
WARNING
To prevent potential electrical or fire hazard, do not expose
the multimeter to rain or moisture.
Spe ications ¢
The specifications for the 3468A are the performance characteristics of the instru-
ment which are certified. These specifications are listed in Table 5-3, and are the
performance standards or limits against which the multimeter is tested. Included in
the table are some supplemental characteristics of the 3468A and should be con-
sidered as additional and general information for you, the user. Because of the
many operational capabilities of the 3468A, exercise care when checking the in-
strument specifications.
Any changes in the specifications due to manufacturing changes, design, or
traceability to the National Bureau of Standards will be covered in a manual
change supplement.
