This document provides instructions for modifying the ground connection of a Model 412AR DC vacuum tube voltmeter, serial number 134-05282 and below. The modification involves disconnecting the black grounding lead from the center terminal of a five-pin strip and connecting it instead to the main ground terminal on the modulator assembly. This new ground connection will eliminate bias circuit disturbances when using the voltmeter with an input isolated from ground. The procedure takes five steps and requires no adjustments after completion.
