A decade box, with at least ± 0.02 % accuracy, capable of providing stepped resistance values over a minimum range of 0 to 1650 ohms with a resolution of 0.001 ohm.

Three insulated copper leads of equal length for connecting the decade box to the controller.

A calibrating device with at least ± 0.02 % accuracy for use as a signal source.

Two insulated copper leads for connecting the calibrator to the controller.

Place current source at zero before switching ON.

Do not switch current sources OFF/ON while connected to the UDC2500 input.
