• Do not use the Calibrator around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.

• Inspect the Calibrator before use. Do not use it if appears damaged.

• Check the test leads for continuity, damaged insulation, or exposed metal.

Replace damaged test leads.

• Never apply more than 30 V between any two terminals, or between any terminal and earth ground.

• Use the proper terminals, mode, and range for your measuring or sourcing application.

• To prevent damage to the unit under test, put the Calibrator in the correct mode before connecting the test leads.

• When making connections, connect the COM test lead before the live lead; when disconnecting, disconnect the live lead before the COM lead.

• Never use the Calibrator with the case open.

• Make sure the battery door is closed before you use the Calibrator.

• Replace the battery as soon as the M (low battery) symbol appears to avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock.

• Remove test leads from the Calibrator before opening the case or battery door.

• To avoid a violent release of pressure in a pressurized system, shut off the valve and slowly bleed off the pressure before you attach or detach the pressure sensor or Pressure Module fitting to the pressure line.

When servicing the Calibrator, use only specified replacement parts.

W Caution

When using pressure pressure modules, to avoid damage to the

Calibrator module connections, follow all procedures in the pressure

module instruction sheet.

W Caution

When using pressure sensor connections, to avoid damage to the

Calibrator or equipment to which it is attached:

• To avoid overpressure damage, do not apply pressures that exceed ranges listed under “Pressure Specifications”.

English

• To avoid corrosion in the pressure sensor, use the Calibrator only with media compatible with glass, ceramic, silicon, RTV, nitrile

(Buna -N) type 303 stainless steel, and nickel.

• To avoid damaging the Calibrator, do not apply torque between the pressure fitting and the Calibrator case. See Figure 1 for the proper technique.

Switch Test

To perform a switch test, do the following:

Note

This example uses a normally closed switch. The procedure is the same for

an open switch but the display reads OPEN instead of CLOSE.

1.

Connect the Calibrator mA and COM terminals to the switch using the pressure switch terminals and connect an external pump between the

Calibrator and the pressure switch using a tee fitting. The polarity of the terminals does not matter.

2.

Make sure the vent on the pump is open and zero the Calibrator if necessary.

Close the vent after zeroing the Calibrator.

3.

Press S to enter pressure switch test mode. The Calibrator will display

CLOSE instead of a mA measurement.

4.

Apply pressure with the pump slowly until the switch opens.

Note

In the switch test mode, the display update rate is increased to help capture changing pressure inputs. Even with the enhanced sample rate, pressuring the device under test should be done slowly to ensure accurate readings.

English

5.

OPEN is displayed once the switch is open. Bleed the pump slowly until the pressure switch closes. The recall icon appears on the display.

6.

Press S to read the pressure values for when the switch opened, for when it closed, and for the deadband

7.

Hold S for 3 seconds to reset Switch Test mode; hold any other key for 3 seconds to exit.

Zeroing with Absolute Pressure Modules

To zero, adjust the Calibrator to read a known pressure as follows:

1.

Press and hold Z.

2.

Press Z (

a

) to increase or Y ( h)to decrease the Calibrator reading to equal the applied pressure.

3.

Release Z to exit the zeroing procedure.

For all but the 700PA3 module, the known pressure can be barometric, if it is accurately known. An accurate pressure standard can also apply a pressure within range for any absolute pressure module. To convert measurement units:

• 1 bar = 750 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.0013332 bar)

• 1 psi = 2.036 inHg (1 inHg = 0.49115 psi).

Sourcing Loop Voltage

To use the Calibrator to supply loop power (24 V dc) to a current transmitter that is disconnected from the system:

1.

With power off, hold down Uwhile pressing OON.

The LOOP POWER icon appears on the display.

2.

With the transmitter disconnected from normal loop power, connect the

Calibrator in series with the instrument current loop as shown in Figure 3.

In addition to mA, the current can be displayed in two alternative modes:

•

Percent Mode- The current is displayed as a percentage based on a 4-20 mA scale.

•

Percent Error Mode- Transmitter current output error is displayed. Error is calculated based on a configurable zero and span pressure and a 4-20 mA scale.

3.

Measure loop current in the mA measurement display.

4.

Press O OFF to deactivate the 24 V dc supply when you are done sourcing loop voltage.
