previous procedure. Then the instrument displays
the value 100*Measure/B in %.
To obtain a deviation in % proceed as follows:
1) Connect the component corresponding to the
reference value.
2) Store the value (memory A) by pressing on the
STORE key, then press the A key.
3) Store the same value (memory B) by pressing
on the STORE key then press the B key.
4) Press the A key then the B key. The -A and ÷B
LED indicators light up. The display shows the
value 100*(Measure – A)/B in %, with a 0.01%
resolution.
In any case the percentage result can not exceed
the -100.00% / +999.99% limits.
Component to test connexion
The components to test can be connected in two
different ways to the HM8018. Two 4 mm banana
jacks are available for a quick measurement. The
tested object is either plugged in or fi xed below
the screw type terminals. However this quick
method is not always accurate enough. To perform
high accuracy measurement it is recommended
to use the HZ18 Kelvin Test Leads offered in our
accessories range. This probe uses a Kelvin con-
nexion which minimizes the parasitic impedances.
After changing the connection confi guration it is
necessary to perform an open/short calibration.
This point also is valid when changing frequency
from the extreme ranges.
REMARK: When a measurement is in progress,
especially for high impedances, keep your hands
or any other object away from the test connector
because the measurement accuracy may be
affected.
Open/short compensation
The parasitic impedance compensation from the
connection system to the device to test is perfor-
med by an open and short calibration. This allows
cables and other parasitic capacitance impedance
compensation. Calibration is performed for the
current frequency. It is better to perform the open/
short calibration in the same conditions like the
component measurement will be made, trying to

Subject to change without notice
do not change the lead positions. In other respects
keep any objects away from the test connection, as
your hands or metallic parts which could infl uence
measurement.
To perform an open or short calibration:
Press on the CAL key. The display indicates OP.-
Sh. Press on the –A key to start the open circuit
calibration, or on the AUTO key to start the short
circuited calibration. The process lasts few se-
conds, then the PASS message is displayed if the
process has been successful, in the opposite case
the FAIL message will be displayed. Short circuit
calibration is valid if the impedance is below 15Ω
and if the resistance is below 10Ω. Open circuit
calibration is valid if the impedance above 10kΩ.
Default settings
To press on the CAL key
dEFLT message appears allows to initiate the
instrument with the factory default confi guration.
This function will not modify the calibration para-
meters. The current confi guration may be saved in
a non-volatile memory by pressing on the STORE
key then on the CONFIG key.

Mains frequency setting
The HM8018 includes a dual slope A/D converter
which needs to be set according to the mains
frequency in order to obtain a good frequency
rejection.
Press on the FREQUENCY key
the message 50.-60 appears.
Then press on the -A key
