formula should be used for determining the
correction factor.
Correction Factor = 10 Log
where R is the load resistance in ohms. If R is
greater than 600 ohms the Correction Factor is
negative.
FITTING AND REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES
AND FUSES
The compartment containing the batteries and
fuses is in the rear of the case above the
instruction plate. The compartment cover is
removed by turning the 1/4 turn fastener at the
top until the slot is vertical (i.e. at the 'O'
position) and lifting off. The 15 V battery, 1,5 V
cell and 1 A ceramic fuse all push into easily
accessible clips.
The 10 A fuse is fitted into a holder located above
the 1,5 V battery cell. This holder has a screw-in
cap into which the fuse is mounted. (A spare 1 A
fuse and a spare 10 A fuse are housed in the
battery compartment).
When fitting the 15 V battery and 1,5 V cell they
must be inserted the right way round to ensure
the correct polarity. The '+' and '–' are marked on
the case moulding. (Refer to the specification
page 7 for the correct type of replacement for

battery, cell and fuses).
The battery and cell should be examined from
time to time to ensure that the electrolyte is not
leaking. If the instrument is to remain unused for
a long period of time, batteries should be
removed and stored separately.
