Introduction
Warning
The information provided in this manual is for the use of qualified personnel
only. Do not perform the calibration procedures described in this manual
unless you are qualified to do so.
This Calibration Manual provides the following information for the Hantek824
Multifunction Process Calibrator (also referred to as "the Calibrator" ):
Safety Information
Warnings
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
• Follow all safety procedures for the test and calibration equipment you use.
• Examine the Calibrator before use. DO NOT use the Calibrator if it looks
damaged.
• Do not use the Calibrator if it operates abnormally. Protection may be
impaired.
• Never touch the probes to a voltage source when the test leads are lugged
into the current terminals.
• Select the proper function and range for each measurement.
• Disconnect the test leads before changing to another measure or source
function.
• Use caution when working above 30 V, or 24mA. Such voltages pose a shock
hazard.
• Connect the common lead (COM) before connecting the live test lead. When
disconnecting test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
• Do not operate the Calibrator around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
• Make sure the battery door is closed and latched before you operate the
Calibrator.
• During calibration, use only specified calibration equipment listed in Table 1-3.
