FORCING A PC | |
Forcing a pc to go on being audited upsets the pc and his case and will often result in low TA (below 2) and will give the pc a heavy loss. | |
There is no excuse for it. | |
It invalidates the pc’s cause. | |

METER TRIM CHECK | |
E-Meters can go out of trim during a session because of temperature changes. | |
Thus even if the meter is properly calibrated and reads at 2.0 with a 5,000 ohm resistor across the leads and 3.0 with 12,500 ohms, by the end of the session a pc can be apparently reading below 2.0 because the meter is off trim. | |
The following meter procedure is therefore to be followed AT THE END OF EACH SESSION (AFTER GIVING “THAT’S IT”): | |
1. DON’T MOVE THE TRIM KNOB | |
2. PULL OUT THE JACK PLUG | |
3. MOVE THE TA UNTIL THE NEEDLE IS ON “SET” AT THE SENSITIVITY YOU WERE USING IN THE SESSION | |
4. RECORD THE TA POSITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AUDITOR’S REPORT FORM AS: “TRIM CHECK – TA = ...” | |
5. IF YOUR METER IS KNOWN TO BE OUT OF CALIBRATION (as in Para 2 above) RECORD ALSO: “Calibration error – on meter = 2.0 actual” at the bottom of the form. | |
