Title: Hickok 1605M voltmeter
Post by: TimFox on July 14, 2019, 09:40:04 pm

While I wait for the manual that I ordered on eBay, can anyone tell me the function of each of the six calibration pots facing up on the top board?  I have the version using an AD 545 op amp, not the older version with photo chopper.

I would say take their values  before adjusting them,   and maybe by trial and errors you could find their use ??

I now have the manual.  In case someone finds this on search, here is the layout of the calibration pots on the top board, seen from above.  Each sets the full-scale value.  Hickok recommends adjusting at 80% of F.S., and using 400 Hz for AC voltage calibration.
