General 1.5 Service The MC 75.2 must always be set up according to the instructions in this notice. Incomplete or poorly executed setting up may adversely affect the safety of the operator. The responsible authority must ensure on a regular basis that factors affecting safety do not change with time and carry out any necessary preventive work.
MC 75.2 Getting started In order to use the MC 75.2 unit in complete safety, users must carefully read paragraph 1.4 (page 17) which, among other things, deals with safety before handling. It is advisable also to read the following paragraphs: ...

Getting started 2.2.11 Pressure switch test The MC 75.2 can detect the opening or closing of a contact (switch) and acquire the value of pressure at the moment that this change of state occurs. In this case, the pressure measurement function is configured from the transmission part.
Connection is made between the mA and COM terminals. If the loop power supply is on, the MC 75.2 simulates a passive transmitter supplied with 24 V internally. Technical changes reserved - 31 -...
Getting started MC 75.2 If the loop power supply is off, the MC 75.2 simulates a passive transmitter supplied with 24 V externally. When the square law scale is selected, it must be acti- vated by using the Configuration Set to scale menus.
MC 75.2 Getting started 2.3.4 Temperature simulation (RTD) TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION • Display the dialogue box. • Select the "transmission function", then the ap- propriate "type of probe" and range using the func- tion and navigation keys. • Select the measurement current.
MC 75.2 Getting started 2.3.8 Pulse generation TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION • Display the dialogue box. • Pulse Select the transmission function, then the range using the function and navigation keys. • Select the "Type of Output" Signal. • Enter the amplitude of the signal between 0 and 20 V.
Advanced Operation MC 75.2 Advanced Operation 3.1 Simulation Modes Several transmission modes are available in the MC 75.2 to facilitate rapid checking and cali- bration of instruments and transmitters. To change the transmission mode, open the transmission window using the function key (F2).
MC 75.2 Advanced Operation 3.1.2 Incremental Editing When this mode is active, the icon appears in the transmission window. Use the 4 navigator keys to edit the value to be transmit- ted. To select a digit, use the Left and Right keys of the navigator.
MC 75.2 Advanced Operation During generation of a staircase, a progress bar indicates the state of progress. The function keys can be used to control generation: • key stops generation at any time. • key suspends generation. • key commences or resumes generation.
MC 75.2 Advanced Operation 3.1.7 Synthesiser The synthesiser function is used: • to store up to 100 transmission values in permanent memory, • to recall and transmit the contents of these memories manually or automatically. When this mode is active the icon appears in the transmission window.
MC 75.2 Advanced Operation 3.2 Scaling The scale correction function performs a conversion between the electrical quantities meas- ured and the physical quantities converted. This linearization is used partially to correct errors induced by non linear sensor / converter systems.
MC 75.2 Advanced Operation 3.4 Calibrated sensors The "calibrated sensors" function of the MC 75.2 makes it possible to use sensors of which the calibration (correction) factors can be taken into account by the unit at the time of meas- urement.
Advanced Operation 3.5 Calibration procedure The MC 75.2 is capabable of creating a calibration report from a pre-defined procedure. The number of procedures that can be recorded depends on the size of the available memory and the size of each procedure (number of test points). If the memory is not being used by other functions, it is possible to record several tens of procedures.
