It's worse, the AVO 7 is a 500 OPV job not a 1,000 OPV one, the total resistance across the input terminals when the divide by two function is selected is the same as it is when the divide by two function is not selected.
If you look at the schematic in the manual and select a range you can add up all the resistances, for instance take the 10 volt range.....4,500 + 450 + 50 which equals 5,000 Ohms which equals 500 OPV (5,000/10)
