Press more than 2 seconds to turn on the calibrator. The calibrator checks itself, including check on internal circuit and LCD, during which, LCD displays all contents for 1s as shown in Figure 2.1-2: Figure 2.1-2 Then the product model(2015) and automatic shutdown time(30 min) will be displayed for 2 seconds as shown in Figure 2.1-3.
Press to select 1 V for the output value, and then press and hold until the buzzer works to enter 1V as the 0% value. Press to select 5 V for the output value, and then press and hold until the buzzer work to enter 5V as the 100% value. Press to step between 0 and 100% in 25% step increments.
Figure 2.2-1 2.3 Backlight Brightness Adjustment To adjust the brightness of backlight, proceed as follows: Press until the buzzer works, then the screen will display as shown in Figure 2.3-1: Figure 2.3-1 Press to adjust the brightness of backlight. Press to save brightness level, will appear and then the calibrator will enter into the work mode(Without pressing key for 5 seconds, the calibrator...
3 Function Usage 3.1 DC V and DC mV Measurement The default function after turn on is DC V measurement, press to select DC V or DC mV and the connection is shown in Figure 3.1-1: Figure 3.1-1...
3.2 DC mA measurement Press to select DC mA (unit: mA). The connecting method is shown in Figure 3.2-1. Figure 3.2-1 3.3 Current Measurement with Loop Power The loop power function activates a 24 V supply in series with the current measuring...
circuit, allowing you to test a transmitter when it is disconnected from plant wiring. To measure current with loop power, proceed as follows: Connect the calibrator to the transmitter current loop terminals as shown in Figure 3.3-1. Press until appear simultaneously. Figure 3.3-1 3.4 Frequency measurement Press...
Figure 3.4-1 3.5 DC V Source Press to select the DC V output function, the connection mode is same to that of voltage measurement. 3.6 DC mV Source Press to select the DC mv output function, the connection mode is same to that of voltage measurement.
Figure 3.7-1 When the output current is overload, the LCD will shown which indicates the overload and meanwhile, the main display area flashes, shown in Figure 3.7-2: Figure 3.7-2 3.8 Simulating a 4- to 20-mA Transmitter Simulating is a special mode of operation in which the calibrator is connected into a loop in place of a transmitter and supplies a known, settable test current.
If necessary, press to select (simulation) mode. Figure 3.8-1 3.9 Frequency Output Press to select the frequency output function, the connection mode is same to that of voltage measurement. The screen will display as shown in Figure 3.9-1. Figure 3.9-1 If necessary, press to select other ranges as shown in Figure 3.9-2.
4 Advanced Application 4.1 Setting 0 % and 100 % output parameters As for stepping operation and percentage display, 0% and 100% should be set before using. The default values have been set when delivered from the factory and set values are listed below: Source function 100%...
4.2 Automatic Ramp the Output Auto ramping gives you the ability to continuously apply a varying stimulus from the calibrator to a transmitter, while your hands remain free to test the response of the transmitter. When you press , the calibrator produces a continuously repeating 0 % - 100 % - 0 % ramp in your choice of three ramp waveforms : 0%-100%-0% 40-second smooth ramp...
5 Power The calibrator needs 6 disposable LR03 model (size 7) alkaline batteries or 6 R03 model (size 7) nickel-metal hydride batteries (or nickel-cadmium batteries). The longest service life of alkaline batteries can reach 50 hours. A 12V/1A power adaptor is used for charging and providing working power for the calibrator.
