Sourcing Loop Voltage
The Calibrator can supply loop power at 24 V dc to a
current transmitter that is disconnected from the system.
Use the following procedure:
1.
With power off, hold down
on. The "Loop Power" icon appears in the display.
2.
With the transmitter disconnected from normal loop
power, connect the Calibrator mA (+) and COM (-)

In addition to mA, the current can be displayed in two
alternative modes:
•
Percent Mode- The current is displayed as a
percentage based on a 4-20 mA scale.
•
Percent Error Mode- Transmitter current output error
is displayed. Error is calculated based on a
configurable zero and span pressure and a 4-20 mA
scale.
