Disassembly and Reassembly
Referring to Figure 1, disassemble the Meter as follows. A
Phillips-head screwdriver and small flat-blade screwdriver
are required.
Cleaning
W Warning
To avoid electrical shock, remove test leads
and any input signals before cleaning.
1. Remove the test leads and set the rotary knob to OFF.
2. Remove the Phillips-head screws from the case bottom.
3. Separate the case top from the case bottom.
To clean the case, wipe it with a cloth lightly dampened with
water and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasives, solvents,
or alcohol.
4. To replace the battery: lift the battery from the case
bottom and insert a new 9V battery. Be sure the positive
and negative battery posts are oriented correctly.
Recommended Test Equipment
A list of recommended equipment for the performance test
and calibration adjustment procedure is shown in Table 2.
5. To remove the pca: insert a small, flat-blade
screwdriver between the edge of the case top and the
pca where shown in Figure 2. Gently unsnap a side of
the case top from the pca. Repeat on the other side of

values shown in Table 4.
Performance Test
W
Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not execute the
performance tests procedures unless the
Meter is fully assembled.
8. Repeat step 3 to verify that the ice bath temperature is
at 0.0°C ±0.3°C.
To ensure that the Meter is working properly and performs
to specifications, use the following procedures. If the Meter
fails this test, it needs calibration adjustment or repair.
Calibration Adjustments
Perform the following calibration adjustment procedures if
the Meter fails the performance test.
Multimeter
Initial Steps
1. Remove any input signals to the Meter.
Note
The following performance test is for all functions
except for temperature. Temperature performance
test follows this procedure.
2. Remove the four screws on the back and separate the
case bottom and case top.
Notice that when you do so the battery remains in the
case top and power to the Meter is disconnected.
1. Referring to Table 3, put the Meter in the function and
range shown for Test 1.
Note
2. Apply the input from the appropriate source to the [+]
and COM jacks on the Meter. The reading on the
display should be within the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM
values shown in Table 3.
To avoid stretching or bending the battery
contacts, connect leads to the base of the
contacts as shown in Figure 4.
3. Test the remaining functions and ranges. Repeat steps
1 and 2 for test numbers 2 through 41.
3. Observing correct polarity, connect a 9 V battery to the
battery contacts using easy hook jumpers or alligator
clip leads (see Figure 4).
Temperature
Multimeter
Note
Note
The performance test for the other functions must
be done before this test is done.
The following calibration adjustment
procedure is for all functions except for
temperature. Temperature calibration
adjustment follows this procedure.
1. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 3.
2. Insert a mercury thermometer to the same depth as the
thermocouple wire to verify that the ice bath
temperature is 0.0°C.
1. Set the calibrator for 0 V dc. Put the Meter in the 4.000
V dc range.
3. Short (or apply 0.0 mV) to the copper wires at the
5700A Calibrator.
2. Connect the calibrator to the [+] and COM jacks on the
Meter.
4. Verify that the Meter reads 0.0°C ±0.8°C.
3. Apply an input of +4.000 V dc ±0.25%
5. If this test fails, reposition the thermocouple wires and
mercury thermometer in the ice bath and repeat steps
3 and 4. If the Meter continues to fail, use steps 6
through 8 to verify the temperature performance tests.
The Meter display should read between 3.997-4.003 V.
If it does not, adjust R4 as described in step 4 (see
Figure 4).
4. Adjust R4 (see Figure 4) so that the Meter display
reads between 3.997 and 4.003 V.
6. Remove the short applied in step 3.
5. Proceed to adjust the Temperature function.

1. In the Automatic Selection mode, the Meter uses a low-impedance thermistor (~2.5k for circuit protection and load testing
(referred to as low-Z input circuitry). When using the 5100B, 5500A, or 5700A to drive the Meter with high voltages, avoid an
overload/current limit condition by gradually stepping the voltage up (waiting two seconds between each step) from 90.0 V,
120.0 V, 180.0 V, and 350.0 V at 80 Hz each step.
2. Calibrator 50Ω divider override.
3. The dc volts annunciator must be on.
4. Conducting performance tests of the 400 Ω, 4 kΩ, 40 kΩ, and 1 µF ranges (tests no. 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 31, and 32) verifies
that the discrete and integrated circuitry needed to support the other capacitance ranges are working within specifications.
Therefore, the tests indirectly verify that the Meter will meet specification in the 10 µF, 100 µF, 1000 µF, and 10,000 µF
ranges.

Note
Adjust DC voltage (R4) before adjusting
temperature (R38).
5. Adjust R38 so that the Meter display has the same

The following describes three temperature calibration
procedures:
Lag Bath Calibration
•
•
•
Calibrating at room temperature. Use this procedure if
it is not necessary to optimize the Meter’s performance.
The following adjustment optimizes the Meter’s
performance at room temperature using a specific
thermocouple.
Calibrating in an ice bath. Use this procedure to
optimize the Meter’s performance at around 0.0°C.
Calibrating in a lag bath. Use this procedure to
optimize the Meter’s performance at room temperature.
1. Put the Meter in the temperature function and °C
mode.
2. Insert a thermocouple in a lag bath (see Figure 6).
Room Temperature Calibration
The following procedure allows you to make the calibration
adjustment at room temperature.
3. Insert a mercury thermometer to the same depth as the
thermocouple wire to verify that the lag bath
temperature is at room temperature
4. Connect the other end of the thermocouple wire to the
Meter using an 80AK Adapter Plug(see Figure 6).
Allow the instrument reading to settle.
1. Allow the Meter to stabilize at room temperature. After
the temperature stabilizes, do not touch the COM jack.
2. Turn to temperature function and °C mode.
5. Adjust R38 so that the Meter display has the same
reading of the lag bath thermometer.
3. Observing the correct polarity, connect a copper short
across the input jacks of the Meter (see Figure 5).
Replacement Parts
Replacement parts are listed in Table 4 and shown in
Figure 1.
4. Using a temperature probe with the appropriate Meter
(Fluke 45 or equivalent), measure the temperature of
the COM input jack (see Figure 5). Be sure to place the
probe on the COM closest to the pca.

5. Adjust R38 so the Meter display is the same as the
temperature probe reading.
