Model 2500 Service Manual Performance Verification 1-3
 
Warm-up period
 
Allow the Model 2500 to warm up for at least one hour before conducting the verification 
procedures.
If the instrument has been subjected to temperature extremes (those outside the ranges 
stated above), allow additional time for the instrument’s internal temperature to stabilize. 
Typically, allow one extra hour to stabilize a unit that is 50°F (10°C) outside the specified 
temperature range. 
Allow the test equipment to warm up for the minimum time specified by the manufacturer.
 
Line power
 
The Model 2500 requires a line voltage of 100V / 120V / 200V / 240V (depending on rear 
panel line frequency setting) and a line frequency of 50 or 60Hz. Verification tests must be 
performed within this range. Make sure the line voltage setting seen through the small 
window in the rear panel power module is at the required setting. If not, change the setting 
as covered in Section 3.
