Introduction Description The 7040 is a hand-held pressure/vacuum calibrator suitable for workshop, laboratory and field use. It also has the provision to measure process loop current. This allows pressure transmitters and converters to be calibrated directly. Pressure ranges are 0.2, 2, 5, 10 and 20 bar. These are specified on ordering.
Pressure fittings The 7040 is equipped with a standard 1/8 “ BSP female pneumatic port manifold for connection of the pressure to be measured. A range of adaptors and fittings are available to fit the 1/8 “ BSP port. Should you have difficulty in obtaining a suitable adaptor, contact Time Electronics or their authorized agent.
Time Electronics User Manual 7040 Digital Pressure/Current Calibrator v1.1 Specifications Pressure Calibration Pressure Range: 0.2, 2, 5, 10, or 20 bar (specified on ordering) Vacuum: Available on 2 bar range. Measures vacuum to - 1 bar Accuracy: 0.04% of range +/-1dig (0.2bar ver 0.1% +/-1dig) Resolution: 4.5 digit (0.2bar ver 3.5 digit)
Using a PC or laptop computer and an interface program (contact TE or authorised dealer) most of the 7040’s displayed parameters can be read back – Pressure, Loop Current, Max Value, Min Value. By arranging for the PC to store these values in a database a full data logging function is available.

Time Electronics User Manual 7040 Digital Pressure/Current Calibrator v1.1 The Log button The log function (Minimum and Maximum recording) works for both pressure and loop current (both mA & %4-20mA). Pressing the log button initially displays the minimum symbol (∪∪∪) before displaying the minimum pressure or loop current.

Battery replacement When the 7040’s battery is low the “Battery Low” sign will show on the display. The battery is a standard 9V PP3 type. The Nicad rechargeable version may be used. To replace the battery, turn the power off, remove the battery compartment cover at the rear of the instrument, and plug the battery into the polarized snap connector provided (see picture below).

The 7040 can calibrate a 2-wire pressure transmitter as follows: Set up: Connect the 7040 as shown in the following diagram. Use a suitable pressure pump, such as Time Electronics’ type 7090. Ensure that the pressure connection to the transmitter is vented to atmosphere.
Low Battery Voltage: When the internal battery voltage falls below 7.5V, a sign on the display shows the “LOW BATTERY” and there is an audible alarm. The 7040 can still be used while “LOW BATTERY” is showing but the battery should be changed as soon as possible.
Time Electronics’ total liability is limited to repair or replacement of the product. Note that if Time Electronics determine that the fault on a returned product has been caused by the user, we will contact the customer before proceeding with any repair.
