Test Equipment
To ensure accurate adjustments, use the following or equivalent test equipment.
If you substitute equipment, always choose instruments that meet or exceed the
minimum requirements specified in Table 9.
Alternative test equipment must meet or exceed the intended minimum
requirements. If you substitute equipment, you may need to modify the
adjustment procedures.
NOTE. Before making any adjustment, warm up the test equipment according to
the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Preparation for Adjustment
Perform the adjustment procedures on an as-needed basis. If a power supply
section fails a performance requirement, or if a section is replaced or repaired,
adjust only that section. Adjusting individual sections of the instrument rarely
affects its total performance.
The following guidelines apply to all adjustments:
Verify that the line voltage selector (instrument rear) is set to the correct
voltage. If you must change the selector setting, disconnect the AC power
before altering the setting.
Remove the instrument cover for the voltage full-scale calibrations only.
Plug in and warm up the instrument for at least ten minutes. A thirty minute
warm-up period is required if the instrument has been exposed to a high-hu-
midity or high-condensing environment.
