TB 9-6625-2263-35
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument
Identification. This bulletin
provides instructions for the
calibration of Digital Multimeter, John Fluke, Model 8520A. The manufacturer's manual
was used as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The equipment being
calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. None.
b. Time and Technique. The time
required for this
calibration is
approximately 2
hours, 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
