content: I know this is a long shot... but i am desperately looking for this DC option for any of the above models, and hoping i can install it into a unit myself. If any Datron-knowledgable people could chime in on the subject matter i would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

content: Apparently one can install the option and the mainframe will detect it as if it was installed in the factory. Maybe someone has a junked unit i can source parts from? Looking for some resourceful people to pull some strings for me. I will be forever grateful!

content: I don't think you are right, for datron 4700,the OPT10 is for DCV and ACV 1100V range,no opt 10,the 4700 also have dcv and acv, but the voltage is 200V limits,so the function of opt10 in 4700 and 4708 not the same,datron 4705 i don't have much knowledge,and it seems like a 5,1/2 calibrator

content: Thanks ChinaApp!I think you are right.Do you have manuals for Datron 4000/A, 4700, 4705, and 4707? I cannot seem to find them anywhere.4705 is for 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 digit multimeters i believe. So probably the lowest spec unit out of the series.I don't know much about the 4700 and 4707. I assume the 4708 replaced the 4700, so the 4700 is probably higher spec than the 4705 and 4707.Unfortunately, there is SO LITTLE information on these units anywhere... Please let me know if you can source manuals, or a summary brochure for the entire Datron Multifunction Calibrator line.Thanks!

content: Opt 10 always comes with the calibrator (in 4800 series)4705 is good for 5 1/2 Digit DMMs4700 is good for 6 1/2 Digit DMMs4707 is used for 7 1/2 and 8 1/2 Digit DMMshere is a link to the user Manualhttp://exodus.poly.edu/~kurt/manuals/manuals/Other/DATRON%204700%20User.pdf

content: Thank you for the link quarks!But that's not what the manual is telling me. Option 10 extends the range to 1000V, by default with no option the unit outputs up to 100V.Apparently Datron has a very very confusing option schema that does not seem similar amongst the model lineup.

content: it seems that my 4800 series is different on OPT 10 compared to 4700

content: Yup!See here:https://www.ntecusa.com/docs/WAV%204800,%204805,%204808%20User.pdfDatron surely made this confusing for all of us. I guess no matter how hard i try to research these units, i will always be favorably or unfavorably surprised at what i actually receive after purchasing something over the internet. Sounds like you can never expect to get what you expected...I have Datron 4708 /w options 20-30-80-90 and a Datron 4000 (no options) on the way in the mail. No idea what coverage i will get with these units, but my expectation is this:AC V and AC I from the Datron 4708, and DC V, DC I, and Resistance from the Datron 4000.... we will see

content: Also quarks,do you have any more gems like that spread sheet of 4700, 4705, and 4707 that you can share with us? There is hardly anything on the web regarding these units. Thanks

content: unfortunately I have very little about 4700 series, only the user guide (see earlier att. link), below att. 4708 document and a 4700-4705-4707 datasheet (but that is to large to att. here)

content: Adding my own experience, i successfully installed DC and Resistance boards from Datron 4700 into Datron 4708 (with sticker factory AC voltage and current only)The absolutely identical.
