TB 9-6625-2267-24
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument Identification.
This bulletin provides instructions for the
calibration of Digital Multimeter, ME-518/U (Fluke, Model 8600A-01) and Fluke, Model
8600A. The manufacturers' manuals were used as the prime data sources in compiling
these instructions. The equipment being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test
instrument) throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. Model ME-518/U (Fluke, Model 8600A-01) has rechargeable
batteries; otherwise, models are the same.
b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 1
hour using the dc and low frequency technique.
2. Forms, Records, and Reports
a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are
prescribed by TB 750-25.
b. Adjustments to be reported are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which
they appear. When adjustments are in tables, the (R) follows the designated adjustment.
Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R).
3. Calibration Description. TI parameters and performance specifications which
pertain to this calibration are listed in table 1.
