Verification of content The SIKA UC mAV has been mechanically and electrically verified before shipping. The necessary precautions have been taken for it to reach the user undamaged. It is nevertheless wise to make a quick check for any damage that might have been incurred in transport. If such is the case, immediately make the usual reservations with carrier.
ENERAL Introduction The SIKA UC mAV is a hand-held process calibrator (conforming to EC standards). It is more particularly intended for calibration and maintenance. It can measure and generate electrical quantities either on site or in the laboratory. It fulfils voltage and current measuring and generation functions (DC or LF ramp signals) and a continuity test (on passive loop).
• The instrument has been stored in unfavourable conditions. • The instrument has suffered severe stresses during transport. SIKA Dr. Siebert & Kühn GmbH & Co. KG, Struthweg 7-9, 34260 Kaufungen, Germany 7/33 Tel +49-5605-803-0, Fax +49-5605-803-54, eMail info@SIKA.net, web www.SIKA.net...
CAT II 60V: The notion of categories determines the maximum transient voltage that can be applied to the measurement inputs (it is also called overvoltage category). For the SIKA UC mAV, the maximum permissible overvoltage is 60V (DC or AC) POL 2: The notion of pollution determines the isolation distance between the circuits.
A HOLD key allows the temporary stopping of a process (short press). A long press on this key switches from measurement mode to transmission mode and vice versa. SIKA Dr. Siebert & Kühn GmbH & Co. KG, Struthweg 7-9, 34260 Kaufungen, Germany 9/33...
ON/OFF key B.1.2. Terminals The SIKA UC mAV is equipped with 4 safety sockets (4 mm diameter). Two of these sockets are for voltage measurement and transmission, while the other two are for current measurement and transmission and the continuity test.
Post USB (mini B connector) B.1.4. Screen The SIKA UC mAV has a backlit graphic liquid crystal display (LCD), with a resolution of 160 x 160 pixels. In normal operation, the display is divided into seven horizontal fields: • The 1 field indicates the mode of operation (Measurement, transmission or continuity).

Using the navigation keys (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ and ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ), select linear or quadratic mode. When quadratic scaling is activated, the SIKA UC mAV takes the square root of its input and displays the result as a percentage. For example, if the SIKA UC mAV is connected to the output of a differential pressure transmitter it displays a result proportional to the flow.
