basic accuracy 0.025%.
2. Source 0~24.000V with 1mV resolution.
3. Source frequency 1~20000Hz square wave with programmable duty cycle
(1~99%).
4. Auto step and auto ramp for sourcing mA, V.
5. Easy fixed 25% up and down, or programmable percentage (1~99%) increase
and decrease (mA, V).
6. Measure DC mA with loop power (24V output).
7. Measure DC V.
8. Measure Temperature (°C, °F) of 11 types of thermocouples (K, J, E, T, R, S,
N, L, U, B and C).
9. Calibrator grade precision temperature measurement with 0.1C & 0.1F
resolution.
10. Detection of thermocouples disconnection.
11. Source and Measure at the same time.
12. Warning for overload, output open (mA) or short (V).
13. Short circuit protection for output.
14. Battery power indication (%) when turn on the calibrator.

I. PANEL DESCRIPTION
12. This symbol appears when sub-functions of SOURCE are being used.
15. Warning symbol for Output overload (or there is no connection on SOURCE
terminals).

Power on/off
SHIFT (black):
Select a range/function under MEASURE mode.
Hold the present value under MEASURE mode.
Keep pressing it and turn on the power at the same
time to disable Auto-power-off.
II. OPERATION
1. Voltage SOURCE
1a. 0~24V
Remark:
1. The max. output is 24.000V.
2. Type in a voltage value (including decimal point), press ENTER, then
the calibrator will output this voltage value.
3. When the output value is <1 and >0, please type in “0.” first.
Warning:
1. Do not make an input with voltage potential or connect any charged
circuitry to SOURCE (terminals) to prevent from damaging the calibrator.
2. When there is a short circuit or overload at the output terminals, the
calibrator can not output the correct voltage. Please remove connecting
leads and check when there is a symbol of OL.
2. Current SOURCE
Remark:
1. Users are allowed to type in max. 5 digits.
2. Type in a current value (including decimal point), press ENTER, then
the calibrator will output this current value.
3. When the output value is <1 and >0, please type in “0.” first.
Warning:
1. Do not make an input or connect any charged device to SOURCE
(terminals) to prevent from damaging the calibrator.
2. When there is an output open circuit or overload, the calibrator can not
output the correct current. Please remove connecting leads and check
when there is a symbol of OL.
Remark:
1. Users are allowed to type in max. 5 digits.
2. Type in each parameter (including decimal point), press ENTER, then
the calibrator will output the parameter values.
3. When the output value is <1 and >0, please type in “0.” first.
Warning:
1. Do not make an input or connect any charged device to SOURCE
(terminals) to prevent from damaging the calibrator.
2. When there is an output short circuit or overload, the calibrator can not
output the correct frequency.
3b. DUTY
DUTY: for a square wave, users can decide the band width of the positive
wave.
4. Voltage MEASURE
4a. DC 0~24V
1. Turn on power.
2. Press M/S button to select MEASURE (input) mode.
3. Press SHIFT (black) and then to select MEASURE DCV mode.
4. Connect the banana plugs of Test leads to MEASURE terminals (red to
V, black to COM). Then connect the other ends (prods or alligator
clips) of Test leads to the object for measurement.
5. LCD will display the DCV measurement value.
Remark:
The measurement result is 5-digit (including decimal point and negative
sign).
Warning:
Do not measure over DC 30V for MEASURE (terminals) to prevent from
damaging the calibrator.
5. Current MEASURE
5a. DC 0.005~24mA
1. Turn on power.
2. Press M/S button to select MEASURE (input) mode.
Remark:
The measurement result is 5-digit (including decimal point and negative
sign).
Warning:
Do not make connections to MEASURE and TC at the same time. Always
connect to only one (MEASURE or TC) to prevent from damaging the
calibrator.
6. Temperature MEASURE
1. Turn on power.
2. Press M/S button to select MEASURE (input) mode.
Remark:
The measurement result is 5-digit (including decimal point and negative
sign).
Warning:
1. The Input TC terminals are for measuring mV, do not measure over
30V for MEASURE (terminals) to prevent from damaging the
calibrator.
2. Do not make connections to MEASURE and TC at the same time.
Always connect to only one (MEASURE or TC) to prevent from
damaging the calibrator.
