U1401A Quick Start Guide

Agilent U1401A Handheld

Multi-Function Calibrator/Meter

Quick Start Guide

The following items are included with your instrument:

✔Carrying case and protective holster

✔Rechargeable battery pack (1.2 V NiMH AA ×8)

✔Power cord and AC power adapter

✔Silicone test leads, alligator clips, and a yellow test lead for mA

simulation

✔Certificate of calibration

✔Printed Quick Start Guide

If anything is missing or damaged, please contact the nearest Agilent

Sales Office.

NOTE

Your multimeter is capable of remote data logging. To use this feature, you will need an IR-USB

cable (U5481A, purchased separately) and the Agilent GUI Data Logger Software (downloadable

from www.agilent.com/find/hhTechLib).

WARNING

Ensure that the terminal connections are correct for that particular measurement

selection before starting any measurement. To avoid damage to the device, do not

exceed the rated input limit.

CAUTION

Degradation of some product specifications can occur in the presence of ambient

electromagnetic (EM) fields and noise that are coupled to the powerline or I/O cables

of the instrument. The instrument will self-recover and operate to all specifications

when the source of ambient EM field and noise are removed or when the instrument

is protected from the ambient EM field or when the instrument cabling is shielded

from the ambient EM noise.

Performing Resistance Measurement and Continuity Test

Performing Temperature Measurements

CAUTION

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before measuring

resistance to prevent possible damage to the instrument or the device under test.

WARNING

• Before measuring the temperature of a circuit or device, disconnect its power.

• The bead type thermocouple probe is suitable for measuring temperature from

–40 °C to 204 °C in PTFE compatible environments. The probes may emit toxic

gas above this temperature range.

1Set the rotary switch to .

2Connect the red (+) and black

(–) test leads to the INPUT

terminals.

3Probe the resistor (or shunt)

leads and read the display.

4To perform continuity test,

press to toggle the

audible continuity function on

or off.

For continuity test, the instrument will

beep if the resistance is less than the

values indicated below:

Measurement range

50.000 kΩ1 kΩ

500.00 kΩ10 kΩ

5.0000 MΩ100 kΩ

50.000 MΩ1 MΩ

1Set the slide switch to the M

position to disable the output.

2Set the rotary switch to mV.

3Press and hold for more

than 1 second.

4Plug the thermocouple probe

(with adapter) into the INPUT

terminals.

5Touch the surface to be

measured with the

thermocouple probe and read

the display.

Best practices:

•Do not bend the thermocouple

leads at sharp angles.

Repeated bending may break

the leads.

•Do not immerse the

thermocouple probe in any

liquid.

•Clean the surface to be

measured and make sure that

the probe is securely touching

the surface.

U1401A Quick Start Guide

Charging the battery

A new rechargeable battery comes in a discharged condition and must

be charged before use (refer to the U1401A User's and Service Guide

for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged

storage period) the rechargeable battery may require three to four

charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity. To

discharge, simply run the multimeter using the rechargeable battery’s

power until it shuts down or until the low battery warning appears.

In some instances, the multimeter may indicate that the charging is

complete after ten minutes or so when charging a new rechargeable

battery. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries.

Remove the rechargeable battery from the device, re- insert it and

repeat the charging procedure.
