6 Source/Measurement Preparations
Precautions for Safe Use of the Instrument
z When using the instrument for the first time, be sure to read the instructions given in Section 4 “Precautions for Safe
Use of the Instrument.”
z Do not open the instrument’s case. Contact the vendor for service.
z In case of failure: Should the instrument begin to emit smoke, give off an unusual odor, or show any other anomaly,
immediately switch OFF the POWER. If using an AC Charger, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet. Also switch OFF
power to the object under test that is connected to the input terminals. Contact the vendor.
z Charger: Use an AC Charger dedicated to the instrument. Avoid placing any load on the Charger; prevent any heat-
emitting object from coming into contact with the adapter.
General Handling Precautions
z Before transporting the instrument, switch OFF power to the object under test, and then power off the meter. When
using an AC Charger, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Finally, detach all lead cables from the instrument.
Use a dedicated carry case when transporting the instrument.
z Do not bring any electrified object close to the input terminals, since this may damage the internal circuitry.
z Do not apply any volatile chemical to the instrument’s case or operation panel. Do not leave the instrument in contact
with any product made of rubber or vinyl for a prolonged period. Be careful not to let a soldering iron or any other heat-
emitting object come into contact with the operation panel (panel is made of thermoplastic resin).
z Before cleaning the instrument’s case or operation panel, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet if using an
AC Charger. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the outer surfaces of the instrument. Water that is allowed into the
instrument can result in malfunction.
z If using an AC Charger, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet when the meter is not in use.
z For handling precautions regarding the batteries, see “Installing or Replacing the Batteries”.
z Never use the instrument with the cover of the battery holder opened.
Environmental Requirements
Use the instrument in locations that meet the following environmental requirements:
z Ambient temperature and humidity:

F (0 to 18oC) or 82 to 122oF (28 to 50oC), add a value
based on the temperature coefficient shown in the “Specifications” section to the given accuracy rating.
z When using the instrument at an ambient humidity of 30% or lower, prevent electrostatic charges from being produced
by using an antistatic mat or other alternative means.
Page 8 PRC70-EN-V2.1 12/11
z Condensation may occur if the instrument is relocated from places with low temperature and humidity to places with
high temperature and humidity, or if the instrument experiences a sudden temperature change. In these cases, leave
the instrument under the given ambient temperature for at least one hour to ensure that the instrument is free from
condensation before using the instrument.
Indication of Battery Level
The battery replacement indicator shows the battery level in five steps according to the measured voltage of the batteries.
Full battery:
The battery level is below 50% full:
The battery level is below 25% full:
Low battery:
The battery icon flashes in sequence when charging.
Note that the battery replacement indicator is driven by directly measuring the battery voltage when the calibrator is in actual
operation. Consequently, the indicator may read differently depending on the battery load condition (e.g., the load condition
of the source output or on/off state of the measurement function).
Replace the batteries and fuses as described in the section “Replacing or installing batteries and fuses” toward the end of
this User Guide.
Connecting the Charger
Warning
z Make sure the voltage of the AC power source matches the rated supply voltage of the Charger before connecting the
Charger to the AC power source.
z Do not use a Charger other than the dedicated, supplied Charger.
z Do not charge non Ni-Cd, Ni-MH batteries.
Step 1: Ensure that the calibrator is OFF.
Step 2: Insert the plug of the optional Charger into the Charger connection jack.
Notes:
z Switch OFF the calibrator before connecting or disconnecting the Charger from AC power.

Page 15 PRC70-EN-V2.1 12/11
7.5.1 Temperature (TC) Monitor Function
The calibrator offers a temperature monitor function convenient for observing the voltage value sourced between the output
terminals in TC source mode. In the TC source mode, press the (START) key and the LCD will show the voltage value
sourced between the output terminals (this value varies in response to the changes of the reference junction compensation).
Press the (START) key again and the LCD will show the preset temperature value.
7.6 Sourcing RTD Temperature
z First, the calibrator sources a resistance signal by receiving the resistance-measuring current (I) supplied from the
device being calibrated (such as a resistance meter) and then delivering the voltage (V) proportional to the preset
resistance (R) between the output terminals, and thus producing the equivalent resistance R =V/I. Consequently, the
calibrator sources the signal correctly only for such devices that employ this method of measurement.
z The allowable range of the resistance measuring current that the calibrator receives from a resistance measuring device
under calibration is rated as 0.1 to 3 mA. To ensure accuracy, the resistance measuring current from the device under
calibration is strictly confined within this range. For further details, see the “Specifications” section.
z Sourced resistance signals do not include the resistance component of the lead cables. The entire resistance, when
measured at the ends of the lead cables for sourcing, is given by adding the resistance of the lead cables
(approximately 0.1 ohms) to the sourced resistance signal. For the sourcing of precise resistance signals, use three-wire
or four-wire connections.
Step 1: Using the function key (FUNC), select the RTD function. Using the (RANGE) key, select a RTD range (PT100,
PT200, PT500, PT1000, Cu10, Cu50). The selected function, the default range source value, and the unit of measure are
shown in the lower area of the LCD.
Step 2: Set the output value digit by digit using each pair of〔S〕/〔T〕keys.
Each press of the〔S〕/〔T〕key increases or decreases the digit. Increasing the digit from 9 or decreasing it from 0
causes the digit to overflow or underflow, allowing the output value to be set without interruption. Holding down the〔S〕/〔
T〕key changes the digit in question quickly. And the value won’t change if it is increased or decreased to the Maximum or
Minimum value. Pressing the (ZERO) key initializes the output set point to the default value (0).
Step 3: Pressing the (ON) key causes the SOURCE indicator on the LCD to change from ‘’OFF‘’ to ‘’ON ‘’. The calibrator
sources the preset resistance value between the output terminals.
Step 4: To switch OFF the output, press (ON) again. The ‘’OFF‘’ icon appears on the LCD and no signals are sourced
between the terminals. The connection methods based on three-wire and four-wire are shown in Figure 9.
Note: The RTD source function is unavailable if the TC /RTD measurement function is ON.
7.6.1 Temperature Monitor Function
The calibrator offers a temperature monitor function for easily observing the resistance value sourced between the output
terminals. In the RTD source mode, press the (START) key and the LCD will show the resistance value sourced between the
output terminals. Press (START) again and the LCD will show the preset temperature value.
Page 16 PRC70-EN-V2.1 12/11
7.7 Sourcing Frequency
The calibrator can source a constant pulse signal according to the preset frequency and amplitude.
Step 1: Using the function selector switch (FUNC), select the frequency source function. The LCD shows the default
frequency value (10 Hz) and the frequency symbol
Step 2: Using the (RANGE) key, select a frequency range (100Hz, 1KHz, 10Hz, 100KHz). The selected function, the default
range source value, and the unit of measure are shown in the lower area of the LCD.
Step 3: Set the output value digit by digit using each pair of〔S〕/〔T〕output setting keys.
Each pair of〔S〕/〔T〕keys corresponds to each digit of the LCD reading. Each press of the〔S〕/〔T〕key increases
or decreases the digit. Increasing the digit from 9 or decreasing it from 0 causes the digit to overflow or underflow, allowing
the output value to be set without interruption. Holding down the〔S〕/〔T〕key changes the digit quickly. The value won’t
change if it is increased or decreased to the Maximum or Minimum value.
Step 4: Pressing the〔VPEAK〕key once switches to the amplitude setting mode. The LCD shows a reading of 1V.
Step 5: Set the output value digit by digit using each pair of〔S〕/〔T〕output setting keys.
Each pair of〔S〕/〔T〕keys corresponds to each digit of the LCD reading. Each press of the〔S〕/〔T〕key increases
or decreases the digit. Increasing the digit from 9 or decreasing it from 0 causes the digit to overflow or underflow, allowing
the output value to be set without interruption. Holding down the〔S〕/〔T〕key changes the digit quickly. The value won’t
change if it is increased or decreased to the Maximum or Minimum value.
Step 6: To re-enter the frequency set mode and set the frequency, press the〔FREQ〕key.
Step 7: Pressing the (ON) key causes the SOURCE indicator on the LCD to change from ‘’OFF‘’ to ‘’ON ‘’. The calibrator
sources constant pulse signals between its output terminals according to preset frequency and amplitude.
Step 8: To switch OFF the output, press the (ON) key again. The ‘’OFF‘’ icon appears on the LCD and no signals are
sourced between the terminals.

Each pair of〔S〕/〔T〕keys corresponds to each digit of the LCD reading. Each press of the〔S〕/〔T〕key increases
or decreases the digit. Increasing the digit from 9 or decreasing it from 0 causes the digit to overflow or underflow, allowing
the output value to be set without interruption. Holding down the〔S〕/〔T〕key changes the digit quickly. The value won’t
change if it is increased or decreased to the Maximum or Minimum value.
Step 6: Press the (CYC) key to enter the pulse number set mode; the LCD will show the default value (1 CYC).
Step 7: Set the output value digit by digit using each pair of〔S〕/〔T〕output setting keys.
Each pair of〔S〕/〔T〕keys corresponds to each digit of the LCD reading. Each press of the〔S〕/〔T〕key increases
or decreases the digit. Increasing the digit from 9 or decreasing it from 0 causes the digit to overflow or underflow, allowing
the output value to be set without interruption. Holding down the〔S〕/〔T〕key changes the digit quickly. The value won’t
change if it is increased or decreased to the Maximum or Minimum value.
Step 8: To re-enter the frequency set mode, press the〔
FREQ〕key.
Step 9: Pressing the (ON) key causes the SOURCE indicator on the LCD to change from ‘’OFF‘’ to ‘’ON ‘’, and the
calibrator sources low level signals between its output terminals.
