Notes: 
[1] Specifications are for 60 minute warm–up and set reading resolution as 6½ . 
[2] Relative to calibration standards. 
[3] For  AC  input  voltages  10%  to  120%  of  range  except  special  mark.  750V  range  is  limited  to 
750VRMS. 200mV  range is  specified as  full  scale  or  greater  inputs.  For inputs  from  20mV  to 
200mV, multiply total % of reading error by 10. 
[4] For the 20mA, 200mA, 10A ranges, the AC input current from 10% to 120% of range except 
special mark. 1A range is specified as the AC input current from 50% to 120% of range. 
   
Measurement Considerations 
Errors are brought within all the frequency counters when measuring low–voltage, low–frequency 
signals. Shielding inputs could redound to reduce measuring errors brought from external noise. 
 
Settling Considerations   
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.
