Description and precision
– maximum precision, tolerance 3%
– high precision, tolerance 5%
–
B: average precision; tolerance 10%
(minimum requirement)
Measuring conditions
–
Avoid external light/daylight
(measure separately and subtract)
–
Check mains voltage and ambient
temperature
–
Use new, burnt-in lamps (discharge
lamps 100 h)
