BAR, mBar, Atm, Kgf plus torr, inches and mm of mercury or water at a variety of temperatures. Characterized modules for laboratory accuracy in the shop, control room or field. Voltage Calibration Calibrate your instrumentation. Source from 0.00 to 110.00 mV and 0.00 to 10.25 V. -
Page 4: Field & Bench Use (Tilt Stand)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL FIELD & BENCH USE TechChek 830-KP comes with a carrying case and a built-in tilt stand/hanger. The 830-KP is held securely in the case by VELCRO® for use with the carrying case open. The carrying case also has a snap- on belt loop which can be looped around a pipe or rail. -
Page 5: Display Contrast & Backlighting
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL DISPLAY CONTRAST The contrast of the Liquid Crystal Display may adjusted for best readability. 1) Press and hold the DISPLAY/SOURCE/READ push-button while turning the 830-KP on to adjust the contrast of the display. 2) Press any UP or DOWN key until the display is most legible. 3) Press the STORE/RESET push-button or wait five seconds for your selection to be stored. -
Page 6: Source Mode
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SOURCE MODE Select source by pressing the DISPLAY/SOURCE/READ pushbutton until the word SOURCE appears on the LCD display. To change the output value, press the UP or DOWN key for each digit. To ramp the output press and hold any UP or DOWN pushbutton. -
Page 7: Simulate 2-Wire Transmitters
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SIMULATE 2-WIRE TRANSMITTERS 2-WIRE mA, 2-WIRE % (Percent of 4 to 20 mA) 2-WIRE DP % Choose this function to simulate a 2-Wire Transmitter output from 1.00 to 24.00 milliamps. Operates in loops with power supply voltages from 3 to 45 VDC. 1) Disconnect existing 2-Wire Transmitter from the loop 2) Press the MILLIAMP/V push-button until mA or mA and % appear on the display... -
Page 8: Check 1-5 Volt Inputs Without Disconnecting Wires
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CHECK 1-5 VOLT INPUTS WITHOUT DISCONNECTING WIRES Most 1-5 Volt receivers in 4-20mA loops have a 250 Ohm resistor across the input of the receiver. This resistor may be mounted internally or externally. TechChek 830-KP is connected directly across the input of the 1-5 Volt receiver without disconnecting any field wiring. -
Page 9: Calibrate Thermocouple Inputs
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CALIBRATE THERMOCOUPLE INPUTS Choose this function to simulate a thermocouple signal into any instrument requiring a thermocouple input. The output of the 830- KP is automatically cold junction compensated. 1) Disconnect the thermocouple from the instrument being calibrated. 2) Press the T/C/RTD/ pushbutton until the word TYPE &... -
Page 10: Calibrate Rtd Inputs
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CALIBRATE RTD INPUTS Choose this function to simulate a temperature signal into any instrument requiring an RTD input. 1) Disconnect the RTD from the instrument being calibrated. 2) Press the T/C/RTD/ pushbutton until any RTD type (Pt, Ni or Cu) appears on the display. -
Page 11: Calibrate Frequency Inputs
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CALIBRATE FREQUENCY INPUTS Choose this function to provide pulses into frequency measuring instruments. The 830-KP output is a zero crossing square wave from -1V to +5V amplitude. Available ranges are from 0.01 to 10.00 kHz, 1 to 1000 Hz and from 1 to 1000 CPM (Counts-Per- Minute). -
