Fluke 740 Series Documenting Process Calibrators:
Work Smarter. Work Faster.
Whether you’re calibrating instruments,
troubleshooting a problem or running
routine maintenance, Fluke 740 Series
process calibrators can help you get
the job done faster. It does so many
different tasks, so quickly and so well,
it’s the only process calibrator you need
to carry.
Multifunctional. Calibrate
•
temperature, pressure, voltage,
current, resistance, and frequency.
Since it both measures and sources,
you can troubleshoot and calibrate
all with one rugged tool.
Powerful, yet easy to use. The
•
easy-to-follow, menu-driven display
guides you through any task. Programmable calibration routines
enable you to create and run automated as-found/as-left procedures to
ensure fast, consistent, calibrations.
Records and documents results.
•
To support your ISO-9000 or regulatory standards, the Fluke 741B, 743B,
and 744 capture your calibration
results, eliminating the need to juggle
a pen and pad in the field. The
RS-232 interface in the Fluke 743B
and 744 lets you transfer the results
to a PC, thus saving the time of
having to manually transcribe them
when you return to the shop.
Supports popular instrumentation
•
management software. The 743B
and 744 work with the Fluke DPC/
TRACK™ software, and with popular
programs from Honeywell Loveland,
Cornerstone, Yokogawa, Prime Technologies, On-Time Support, and others.
It allows you to create procedures,
instructions, and action lists to deliver
fast, easy documentation.
Truly hand-held. Small enough to
•
fit easily into a tool bag and to use in
tight spaces. Runs an entire shift on a
rechargeable NiCd or NiMH battery
pack.
Rugged and reliable. Overmolded
•
urethane case stands up to rough
handling in industrial environments.
Calibrators offer one- or two-year
calibration cycles and three-year
warranty.
Bright white display lets you read
•
your results in any kind of light.
Soft keys provide one-touch
•
access to enhanced functions such
as task lists, automated procedures,
scaling, min/max, stepping and
ramping, and review memory.
Three operating modes Measure,
•
Source, or simultaneous Measure/
Source, — enable technicians to
troubleshoot, calibrate, or maintain
instrumentation with just one tool.
Integrated HART communication
•
capability lets you program and
control HART instrumentation
(744 only).
Multi-lingual interface displays
•
instructions in English, French,
German, Spanish, and Italian.
AutoStep allows technicians to set
•
the calibrator for a delayed start
and a specific sequence of steps, so
it can run unattended as a continuously varying test source.
User entered values enable users
•
to capture readings measured or
sourced by other devices.
Custom units allow readings to be
•
scaled and displayed in any userdefined units.
Limit switch calibration
•
procedures perform fast,
automated calibration of oneand two-point limit switches for
voltage, current, temperature,
and pressure.
Differential pressure flow
•
instrument calibration routines
use a square root function
to directly calibrate DP flow
instruments.
Built-in algebraic calculator
•
with four functions — plus square
root— stores, recalls, and performs
calculations required for setting up
instruments or evaluating data in
the field. Use it to set the source
function to a calculated value.
There’s no need to carry a pencil
and paper or a separate calculator.
Programmable measurement
•
delay inside automated
procedures permits calibrating
instruments that respond slowly.
Two bonus features available
with product registration:
Transmitter mode
•
Bar code entry (except 741B)
•

Fluke 740 Series Documenting Process Calibrators:
Calibrators as versatile as you are.
The Fluke 740 Calibrators, offered in three models, let
you choose the right set of capabilities for your needs.
The Fluke 741B offers simultaneous source
•
and measure capabilities for all common process
parameters. Create and execute automated procedures and automatically capture the results.
The Fluke 743B offers all the capability of the 741B,
•
plus adds a serial interface for two-way communication with popular PC-based instrumentation
management applications.
The Fluke 744 offers all of the capabilities of the
•
743B, plus the ability to maintain and calibrate
selected HART transmitters without a second tool.

Fluke 744 HART Documenting Process Calibrator:
Get HART-ability.
As more and more process plants begin to take
advantage of smart transmitters, the need for a new
generation of calibrators has emerged—calibrators that
can communicate via industry standard digital
protocols. The 744 combines HART communication
capability with the popular 740 Series Documenting
Process Calibrators to deliver an integrated communicating calibrator. This rugged, reliable tool is ideal for
calibrating, maintaining, and troubleshooting HART
instrumentation. The 744 offers:
Integrated HART communication functions, permit-
•
ting you to monitor, control, and calibrate HART
instrumentation.
Handling of fast pulsed RTD transmitters and PLCs,
•
with pulses as short as 1 mS.
NiMH battery with 3500 mA hour life and gas gauge.
•
The first field calibrator for HART instruments
that’s both powerful and easy to use.
The 744 offers the most complete HART implementation of any process calibrator. The 744:
Requires no external box or second tool for every-
•
day HART calibration and maintenance.
Offers fast HART communication.
•
Supports popular models of HART transmitters, with
•
more device-specific command support than any
other HART field calibrator.
Fully complies with the Data Link Layer of the HART
•
protocol, including multiple masters, burst mode,
and multi-drop configurations.
Is easy to update as additional instruments are
•
added and new HART versions are released.
Is based on the 743B, the most rugged, reliable
•
multifunction field calibrator available.
Is backed by the service and support of the Fluke
•
organization, a member of the HART Communications Foundation.
The 744 is designed to take on nearly all the day-today tasks you now perform with a separate communicator. In fact, it offers the communication capabilities
of the 275 HART communicator except for the DD
interpreter, which can read command set libraries
from any HART supplier. This is not necessary for daily
HART maintenance.
