0 ℃ to 18 ℃
28 ℃ to 55 ℃
NOTE:
[1] Specifications are for 30 minute warm–up.
[2] For AC input voltages 12% to 120% of range except where noted. 750V range P/Fed to
750VRMS. 200mV range specifications are for full scale or greater inputs. For inputs from
24mV to 200mV, multiply total % of reading error by 10.
[3] For AC input current from 12% to 120% of range except where noted. 20mA range
specifications are for full scale. For inputs from 5mA to 20mA, multiply total % of reading
error by 10. 10A range is for AC input current from 25% to 100% of range.
Measurement Characteristics
Frequency and Period
Measurement Method: Reciprocal-counting technique. AC-coupled input using the ac voltage
or ac current measurement function.
Measurement attentions:
All frequency counters are susceptible to error when measuring low–voltage, low–frequency
signals. Shielding inputs from external noise pickup is critical for minimizing measurement errors.
Setting time attentions:
Errors will occur when attempting to measure the frequency or period of an input following a dc
offset voltage change. The input blocking RC time constant must be allowed to fully settle (up to
1 sec) before the most accurate measurements are possible.
