Introduction

Warning

To avoid shock or injury, do not perform the verification tests or calibration procedures

described in the manual unless you are qualified to do so.

The information provided in this document is for the use of qualified personnel only.

Caution

The CM7 contain parts that can be damaged by static discharge.

Follow the standard practices for handling static sensitive devices.

SAFETY

Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or

products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, use the product only as specified.

CAUTION: These statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to

the equipment or other property.

WARNING: These statements identify conditions or practices that could result in personal

injury or loss of life.

Specific precautions

Do not operate without covers. To avoid personal injury, do not apply any voltage or current to

the product without covers in place.

Electric overload. Never apply a voltage to a connector on the product that is outside the range

specified for that connector.

Avoid electric shock. To avoid injury or loss of life, do not connect or disconnect probes or test

leads while they are connected to a voltage source.

Do not operate in wet/damp conditions. To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in

wet or damp conditions.

SPECIFICATIONS

All specifications are warranted unless noted typical and apply to the CM7.

Stated accuracies are at 23°C±5°C at than 80% relative humidity and without the battery

AC Conversions are ac-coupled, true rms responding, calibrated to the rms

value of a sine wave input. Accuracies are given for sine wave at full scale and

non-sine wave below half scale. For non-sine wave add the following Crest

For Crest Factor of 1.4 to 2.0, add 1.0% to accuracy.

For Crest Factor of 2.0 to 2.5, add 2.5% to accuracy.

For Crest Factor of 2.5 to 3.0, add 4.0% to accuracy.
