TB 9-6625-2267-35
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument Identification. This bulletin
provides instructions for the
calibration of Digital Multimeter, ME-518/U (John Fluke, Model 8600A-01) and John
Fluke, Model 8600A. The manufacturer's 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 (John 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. Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R).
