110/113/114/115/116/117 Calibration Information Testing the VoltAlert Function (117 only) Use this procedure to verify that VoltAlert functions properly. Note • Make sure the instrument is REMOVED from the holster before you do the test. • Keep the Meter away from electrical noise sources during the tests, for example, florescent lights, dimming lights, and motors. These types of noise source can trigger VoltAlert and invalidate the test. • It may be necessary in steps 4 and 8 below to slightly adjust the Meter position for maximum signal strength to get the Meter beeper to sound continuously. Refer to Figure 4 for these steps: 1. Select the VoltAlert function and verify that Hiis on the display. Verify that the beeper is silent and the red LED is off. 2.
