CALIBRATION Calibration Preparation 1. Turn on the calibrator, allow calibrator to warm up. Perform calibration at 23±2°C at relative humidity of < 70%. Temperature stabilization should be reached after 30 minutes. 2. Disconnect the test leads and turn the range switch to “OFF”. 3. Remove the screws holding the battery cover and one at the jaw. 4. Remove the case bottom using care not to damage the battery connector and leads to the continuity beeper. (Beeper is attached to the bottom case cover.) 5. Using a calibrated meter ensure the battery measures a minimum of 7.5V DC. If the battery measures under 7.5V DC, replace the battery. Calibration Procedure It is recommended that all IDEAL meters undergo the following calibration procedure on an annual basis. The class of calibrator or equipment should have an accuracy that exceeds, by an expectable ratio the accuracy of this instrument.
