Operating Instructions


Preliminary
  1. Turn Power to LINE OPR
  2. Turn RANGE to 1000V
  3. Adjust the mechnical zero adjustment screw for zero deflection.
  4. Turn RANGE to 10 MICROVOLTS
  5. Turn the OPR switch so the line on the knob points towards ZERO.
  6. Adjust the ZERO control for an initial zero meter deflection.
  7. Place the RANGE switch to 1 MICROVOLT.
  8. Re-zero with the ZERO control.
  9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 until the instrument is zeroed.
Operation as a voltmeter
  1. Turn POWER to LINE OPR>
  2. Turn OPR to OPR.
  3. Turn RANGE to 1000 Volts.
  4. Connect voltage to be measured to the INPUT terminal, and the common point of the voltage to the COMMON terminal.
  5. Increase the sensitivity for maximum on-scale deflection.
Operation as a null detector: Consult the manufacturer's manual.


Note:

When measuring voltages in the microvolt range, use copper wire having low thermal emf's.
