DC Current Accuracy Check
DC current accuracy is checked by connecting a calibrated
DC
current source to the
HI
and
LO
INPUT
terminals for up
to 2000mA (10A and
LO
terminals for 2000mA through
10A). The accuracy is then verified by referring to Table
3-5
which shows the exact number of counts allowable in order to
remain in the limit of the specifications.
1.
Select the
DC
current function. Select the
20OOmA
range.
2. Connect the instrument to the DC current calibrator as
shown in Figure
3-5.
The HI side of the
AMPS
terminal
should be connected to the HI terminal and the
LO
side of
the calibrator output should be connected to
LO.
3.
Set the calibrator
to
00.000
and enable the realtive
(REL)
mode.
4.
Verify that the displayed reading is within the limits
specified in Table
3-5.
5.
Switch the Model 197
to
the 20mA range. Set the
calibrator to output +20.0000mA. Verify that the
displayed reading is within the limits specified in Table
3-5.
6.
Switch the Model 197 to the 200mA range. Set the
calibrator to output +200.000mA. Verify that the
displayed reading is within the limits specified in Table
3-5.
7.
Switch the Model 197 to the 2000mA range. Set the
calibrator output
+
2000.00mA. Verify that the reading is
within the limits specified in Table
3-5.
8.
Set the Model 197
to
the 10A range. Connect the DC cur-
rent to the 10A and
LO
terminal as shown in Figure
3-6.
NOTE
Be sure to connect the calibrator
to
the 10A and
LO
terminals. Otherwise, applying the
5A
(as
specified in Table
3-5)
would blow the front
panel current fuse.
9. Apply
+0.50000VDC
to the current calibrator to output
5.0000A.
Verify that the reading
is
within the limits
specified in Table
3-5.

1
through 10 with negative current.
