718 30G/100G Users Manual Getting Acquainted with the Calibrator Pressure Press to turn the Calibrator on and off. The Calibrator measurement displays pressure and current measurements simultaneously. See Figure 2. The upper part of the display shows the applied pressure or vacuum.
Getting Acquainted with the Calibrator Table 4. Pushbutton Functions Pushbutton Description Press to select a different pressure unit. All units are available when the pressure sensor input is used. For higher pressure module inputs, inappropriate (out-of-range) units are not available. Press on while pressing to source loop voltage.
718 30G/100G Users Manual Zeroing with Absolute Pressure Modules For zeroing, adjust the Calibrator to read a known pressure. This can be barometric pressure, if it is accurately known, for all but the 700PA3 module. An accurate pressure standard can also apply a pressure within range for any Absolute Pressure Module.
Full rotation is about 30 turns. The internal pump can provide 30 psi (2.0685 bar) for Internal Increase pressure on the inward stroke. Model 718 30G or 100 psi (6.895 bar) for Model 718 Pump In vacuum mode, decrease pressure on 100G.

Users Manual External Fluke Pressure Module Compatibility If inappropriate units are selected, the output of Fluke 700P pressure modules can cause the calibrator display to overflow (OL), or displays values that are too low to be read. Refer to Table 7 for appropriate unit and range compatibility.
“Safety Information” earlier in this manual before proceeding. For maintenance procedures not described in this instruction sheet, or if the Calibrator needs repair, contact a Fluke Service Center.
Calibration • Review this instruction sheet to make sure you are Fluke recommends that you calibrate your Calibrator once using the Calibrator correctly. a year to ensure that it performs according to its If the Calibrator needs repair, and the Calibrator is under specifications.
Maintenance Replacing the Batteries When the symbol appears on the display, replace the two 9 V alkaline batteries. Refer to Figure 8. W Warning To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the battery indicator appears.
718 30G/100G Users Manual Replacing the Fuse W Warning To avoid personal injury or damage to the Calibrator, use only a 0.125A 250 V fast fuse, ® Littelfuse 2AG. Fuse F1 is probably blown if the mA display reading does not respond to current applied to the current (mA) inputs.
718 30G/100G Users Manual Specifications Pressure Module Input, 718 30G and 718 100G Specifications are based on a one year calibration cycle Range Resolution Accuracy and apply for ambient temperature from +18 °C to +28 °C unless stated otherwise. “Counts” are the number of (determined by Pressure Module) increments or decrements of the least significant digit.
LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY General Specifications This Fluke product will be free from defects in material and workmanship Maximum voltage applied between either mA terminal for three years (one year for pump assembly) from the date of purchase.
