Safety precautions Shipping, assembly, electrical connections and start-up Please do not close the pressure inlets during shipping! Changes in barometric pressure may damage devices with low measuring ranges. Assembly and the electrical connections should only be handled by professionals. Only technical personnel who are appropriately trained and authorized by the operator of the facility may assemble the instrument and set up its electrical connections.
Instrument description Instrument description Functions The KAL 100 / 200 microprocessor-controlled pressure calibration device can be used for the following: Simply generating positive and negative reference pressures Measuring positive and negative pressures Measuring differential pressure Identifying leaks in a test object ...
The date of the last calibration is shown on the display for a short moment after each switch-on. Recalibration Depending on the application, it is recommended to have a recalibration performed after 12 or 24 months. For this purpose, please send the device back to the manufacturer.

Control elements of the device 4.1.5 Pressure key This allows the user to measure both positive and negative pressures up to a nominal pressure of +20%. In other words, a KAL 100 / 200 with a measurement range of 1000 Pa can measure up to ±1200 Pa. The pressure measurement capsule is protected if this value is exceeded.

Control elements of the device 4.2.1 Power input, primary on/off switch, micro fuse The KAL 100/200 calibration instrument is factory-equipped with an all- voltage power supply for voltages from 85 to 264 VAC and mains frequencies from 47 to 63Hz (tolerance is already included). The supply voltage connector (11) is located on the rear of the instrument (inlet connector for non-heating apparatus + ground wire).
Menu items Menu items Incrementation This feature allows the user to modify the percentage of the target value in the following increments: 5 %, 10 %, 20 %, 25 %, 50 % and 100 %. P-input This allows the user to select the pressure input as: +P, -P or DIFF. Units of pressure This feature allows the operator to select the units used for displaying pressures.

Battery operation (optional) Battery operation (optional) The device contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery, which allows the device to operate even when not connected to a mains electricity supply. The operating time provided by the battery depends on the mode of operation. When measuring pressure, a fully charged battery is capable of powering the device for between 20 and 30 hours.
Page 19
Battery operation (optional) In order to prevent damage to the battery due to deep discharge, the device switches itself off automatically at a residual charge of approx. 5%. This is indicated by the message "Battery low" on the display shortly before switching off. If the device is not connected to the mains power when it is switched off or the mains switch on the rear is not switched on, charging is not possible.
Zeroing Zeroing External influences such as temperature, position or ambient pressure can shift the instrument’s zero point, i.e. the value displayed when the pressure ports are open. Zeroing is the process by which the instrument automatically registers this shift and figures it into the currently displayed pressure value.
