Calibration Check
Do not permit unauthorized personnel to operate meter-testing equipment or to test meters.
Hazardous voltages can be present, exposing personnel to the risk of death or serious injury,
and exposing equipment to the risk of damage. Only authorized, trained personnel may
operate the meter-testing equipment, using approved test procedures and safety precautions.
Depending on the meter form and the particular requirements of the test board, you may have to
first ‘open’ the Phantom Load Links.
To perform a calibration check:
1. Loosen the two screws on each link.
2. Open the Phantom load links by:
a. Loosening all of the screws on each link
b. Sliding the links down until they stop
3. Re-tighten the lower screws enough to prevent any link from moving.
4. Install the meter into your test board.
5. In the controlling software for your test board, choose the appropriate meter form (Form 9
or Form 16).
6. Perform the calibration check.
