METER CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENTS (continued)

CALIBRATION CHECK

The Digital Meter Calibration Trimmer is located on the

back of the meter housing near the right side connec-

tor plug (with two leads and a jumper attached). This

trimmer adjusts calibration of the meter used for both

ammeter and voltmeter readings, so its calibration

should be checked first, as follows:

1. Set the TIG mode and, without closing the arc start

switch, preset the panel maximum output control so

the panel digital meter reads 200 amps.

2. Using a DC (avg.) digital test voltmeter with at least

0.5% accuracy at 1,000v, measure the DC voltage

between (+) pin 2 (lead #303) and (-) pin 1 (lead

#306) at the right side meter plug (nearest the trim-

mer).

3. This voltage should match the 200A panel meter

reading (as 0.200v, or 200mv) within 1%. If not,

adjust the trimmer so that the panel meter accuracy

is corrected. (See Figure F.1)

Note: The Precision TIG meter circuits are factory calibrated for the accuracy of the ammeter and voltmeter and

should not need adjustment. However, the factory trimmers are accessible inside the control box:
