CALIBRATION AND VERIFICATION TEST PROCEDURE 
 

FOR 3M 701 MEGOHMMETER 

 
1. INTRODUCTION 
 

This Specification defines the suggested method of calibration and 
performance verification for the 3M 701 Megohmmeter. It also defines the 
test equipment to be used. 

 
2. TEST EQUIPMENT and DOCUMENTATION 
 

A.  A Keithley Model 619 Electrometer or equivalent (input impedance 

 1 

x 10

). 

 

B.  A decade box with a range of 1OOK

 to 10G

 ±1 % or the following 

individual resistors: 

 

100K

 ±1% 

1M

 ±1% 

100M

 ±1% 

100M

 ±1%  

1G

3. VERIFICATION PROCEDURE 
 

A.  Place selector switch in the OFF position and adjust the mechanical 

zero to the left end of the scale. 

 

B.  Place selector switch in the BATTERY TEST mode. Verify that pointer 

is in the green (100V) area on the BATTERY TEST scale. 

 

C.  Place the 100K

 resistor across the input. Switch the unit to 

CONTINUITY TEST. Verify that the unit reads within limits (± 2° of 
100K

 mark on the CONTINUITY TEST scale. Short the input; verify 

that the unit has full-scale deflection. 

 

D.  Remove the short; place the decade box across the input. Verify that 

the unit reads within limits for 10G

 and 1 M

 in both the 10V and 

100V SURFACE TEST modes. (Tolerances for the 1 M

 / 10 G
