LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and
service. The warranty period is one year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and
services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of
a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in
Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance
with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media.
Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.

Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers
only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is

Introduction

The 2271A Automated Pressure Calibrator (the Product) precisely measures and
controls pneumatic pressures in the range of -96.5 kPa to 20 MPa (-14.2 psi to
3,000 psi). Combine this functionality with the built-in Electrical Measurement
Module (EMM) with HART capabilities to accomplish closed loop calibration on
4-20 mA devices such as smart transmitters and analog transmitters.

Additionally, use the Product to calibrate or test a wide variety of pressure
measurement devices that include transmitters, gauges, and switches.

The Product features:

• Multi-language user interface (UI): English, Italian, Spanish, Russian,
Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, German, Japanese, French, or Korean.

• PM200 Pressure Measurement Modules (PMMs) compatibility - The PMMs
can be easily removed from the front of the Product to quickly change ranges.
The Product can operate in gauge, absolute, or tare mode. See the
Measurement Modes section.

• EM300 Electrical Measurement Module (EMM) - The EMM supplies 24 V dc
loop power, measure mA, and measure V dc. The EMM has a built-in 250 Ω
resistor that can be toggled on or off, eliminating the need to have an external
resistor to enable HART communication. Basic HART communicator
functions are also available when used with HART-capable transmitters. See
the HART Operation section.

• Closed-loop Calibration Programs - Automated, built-in, for pressure devices
that output mA signals from 0 mA to 30 mA.

• Dual test ports on top of the Product with hand-tight fittings for easy mounting
of Units Under Test (UUTs). A reference port is also located on top of the
Product for applications that require an atmospheric reference.

• Compatibility with the Fluke CPS-20M Contamination Prevention System that
will keep moisture, dirt, oil, grease, and other contaminants from damaging
the Product. See the CPS Use section. This allows for UUTs that are used in
processing applications or oil applications to be calibrated using a gas
medium.

• Compatibility with COMPASS for pressure.

• PC communication using Ethernet, USB, or a serial connection.

Control turndown is defined as the relationship between the provided supply pressure and the appropriate supply
pressure for the range. For example, a unit with a 7 MPa (1000 psi) and 700 kPa range (100 psi) with a supply
pressure of 7.7 MPa (1100 psi) provides control precision of 0.001 % range because 7 MPa is 10 times greater than
700 kPa. A system with ranges of 20 MPa (3000 psi) and 700 kPa (100 psi) with supply pressure of 22 MPa (3300 psi)
will have 0.001 % range control precision on the 20 MPa range but only 0.003 % control precision on the 700 kPa
range. Control precision of 0.001 % on the low range can be achieved by reducing the supply pressure.

Low Control Point ............................... 1 kPa (0.15 psi) absolute

• Gauge mode modules (PM200-GXXX or PM200-BGXXX) with ranges of 100 kPa (15 psi) or greater will support absolute mode
measurement when used with a Barometric Reference Module.

• For temperatures from 15 °C to 18 °C and 28 °C to 35 °C, add 0.003 % FS/°C.

• Uncertainty for gauge mode modules assumes routine zeroing. Uncertainty for absolute-mode modules includes 1-year zero

stability. This specification can be reduced to 0.05 % FS if the PM200 module is zeroed on a continuing basis to remove the 1­year zero stability component.

• Instrumental Measurement Uncertainty for gauge mode modules used in absolute mode by addition of a barometric reference
module is calculated as the uncertainty of the gauge mode module plus the uncertainty of the Barometric Reference Module.

• Use only the mains power cord and connector approved for

the voltage and plug configuration in your country and rated
for the Product.

• Make sure the ground conductor in the mains power cord is

connected to a protective earth ground. Disruption of the
protective earth could put voltage on the chassis that could
cause death.

• Replace the mains power cord if the insulation is damaged or

if the insulation shows signs of wear.

The Product requires mains voltage ranging from 100 V ac to 240 V ac with
frequencies from 47 Hz to 63 Hz.

Module Installation

Module Installation

The EMM (located on the top left of the Product front panel) is installed at the
factory. To remove the EMM for service, lift up and pull the module finger tab
outward to slide the EMM out of the Product.

The PMMs (located on the bottom left of the front panel) are delivered in a
separate box and can be installed with the Product turned on or off. The PMMs
can be installed in any order without the need to plug any of the unused slots.
The Product detects the PMM information when installed and shows the
information in the Modules Information screen in the Setup Menu. Information
such as the pressure range of each module is shown on the display after it is
installed.

To install the PMMs, see Figure 3:

WCaution

To prevent damage to the sensors inside the modules, do not
drop the modules.

To prevent contamination of the controller and to ensure proper
operation, the PMM bay must be wiped out regularly to prevent
dirt, dust, and oils from entering the pneumatic system,
especially in dirty or dusty environments. To clean the bay,
wipe it with a cloth that is lightly dampened with water or mild
detergent. Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated
solvents, or methanol based fluids.

1. Remove the PMM from its shipping box.

2. Remove the protective plastic cover from the PMM test and reference port.

3. Confirm that the test and reference port O-rings are properly installed on the
module and are not torn or damaged. Additional O-rings are located in the
box in case they become lost or damaged.

4. Each PMM has a slot on the bottom that fits into the track on the bottom of
the module compartment on the front of the Product. Slot 1 is on the left. Slot
2 is on the right. Line up the track with the slot and slide the PMM into the
compartment until it stops.

5. Turn the knob on the PMM clockwise until it clicks once to secure it.

Note

To prevent accidental over-tightening that can damage the module,
the PMM knob is a torque-limiting knob that slips once the proper
amount of torque is applied.

6. Repeat this procedure for any other PMMs and Barometric Reference
Modules (BRMs).

Operation

This section explains the pressure control settings of the Product.

Pressure Control Settings

The product has these operating modes to control pressure: Control, Measure,
and Vent.

Control Mode – When in Control mode, the Product actively controls pressure
as defined by the Setpoint and will keep the pressure near the Setpoint per the
active control mode. See the Control Modes section. Control is the only mode
where the Product actively controls pressure. The setpoint value can be changed
in any of the three modes, but the Product is idle until  is pushed.

Vent Mode – When in Vent mode, all pressure on the test port is vented to
atmosphere.

Measure Mode – When in Measure mode, the Product is holding pressure and
pressure control is idle. This mode provides a method to take a measurement
without control noise.

Operators Manual

Set Target Pressure (Setpoint)

Target pressure (Setpoint) is the numerical value of the pressure that the Product
controls on command. Enter the Setpoint number into the Setpoint field while in
any of the operation modes (Measure, Control, and Vent). The Product controls
pressure to the Setpoint in Control mode only. While in the Control mode, if a
new Setpoint number is entered and accepted, the Product immediately controls
to the Setpoint. Once at the Setpoint, the Product then uses the active Control
mode to keep the pressure between the upper and lower limits. See the Control

Modes section.

Note

Changing the pressure with the Jog Knob adjusts the Setpoint value
in any mode but will only actively change the applied pressure while
in Control mode. See the subsequent section for more information
on jogging pressure.

To set a setpoint pressure:

1. Push  to activate the field.

2. Use the numeric keyboard to enter the number.

3. Push

 to accept. It is not necessary to push  to enter a new value, just

type in the new value and it overwrites the previous value.

Pressure will not change until Control is activated.

Step Pressure Up or Down

Use the Step function to change the pressure Setpoint. The Step function is used
primarily when taking pressure steps in equal pressure increments and is only
available in Control mode. All step controls are accessed in the SETPOINT
menu. The size of the pressure step is user-defined in the Control Settings menu.
To modify the step size, push SETPOINT, select Step Size, and use the keypad
to enter a step value. Then use the up and down arrows to step that amount.

Jog Pressure

Use the Jog function when calibrating mechanical gauges such as a dial gauge
and to change the pressure until the mechanical gauge indicates a cardinal point.
The higher resolution Calibrator is then read to determine the actual pressure
value when the mechanical gauge indicates a cardinal point. To jog the pressure,
turn the Jog Knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to increment or decrement the
pressure by the lowest significant digit of the active measurement resolution. For
example, for a measurement resolution of 0.01 psi, turning the Jog Knob
increments the pressure by 0.01 psi per knob detent.

Vent and Abort

Push

 to completely vent the applied pressure at a controlled rate. When

 is pushed, the Product prompts for confirmation before venting to prevent

accidental venting or accidently canceling tests. If
in progress and the dialog is confirmed, the test immediately stops and the
Product vents all pressure in the system.

The Product has an automatic pressure-relief function called Auto Vent that
releases pressure if it exceeds upper or lower pressure limits. See the Auto Vent
section for more information on this feature.

For emergency pressure relief, push  to immediately vent all pressure from
the system and cancel any program or task in progress without confirmation.
Additionally, the Product enters safety mode and disconnects remote operation.
The Product stays in this mode until the on-screen dialog to exit safety mode is
confirmed.

WCaution

To avoid equipment damage, use  for emergency situations
only. Abort vents pressure as quickly as possible without
restriction. This rate of pressure drop could damage some
sensitive UUTs.

Pressure Measurement

An indicator on the top of the display (also known as the Ready indicator)
indicates when pressure is stable enough to be measured. See Table 3 for a list
of measurement indicators and their definitions. For the indicator to change to
“Ready”, the rate of pressure change must be within the stability limits and the
pressure must be inside the ready tolerance range for the active pressure control
mode.

The Product comes with one of these types of manifolds installed:

• NPT

• BSP

The type of manifold is marked on its lower right corner. Table 10 lists the

Operators Manual

SUPPLY Port

The pressure SUPPLY port must be connected to a regulated source of clean,
dry air or nitrogen as directed in Specifications. Fluke Calibration recommends
that tubing be at least 3 millimeters (1/8 inch) inside diameter and properly rated
for the pressure.

Connect the pressure supply to the SUPPLY port on the manifold on the rear
panel of Product. The SUPPLY port connection is 1/4 inch NPT or 1/4 inch BSP.
Use a pressure-connecting hose or tube of the appropriate pressure rating.

The supply pressure should be equal to the greater of 70 kPa (10 psi) or 110 %
of the maximum Product control pressure. The supply pressure should never
exceed 23 MPa (3300 psi). Lower gas pressure sources can be used, but should
exceed the maximum desired test output pressure by at least 10 %.

WCaution

To prevent damage to the system, make sure to select the
correct size adapter fitting with the correct thread type. Ensure
that all hardware used is rated to an adequate working
pressure, and that all equipment is in proper working order (for
example, no cracks or stripped threads).

To prevent damage to the Product, be sure to connect the
pressure supply to the SUPPLY port. Connecting to another
port can damage the Product.

EXHAUST Port (Vacuum Pump if Required)

The EXHAUST port can be left open to atmosphere under most conditions. A
vacuum pump is required to control pressure below 20 kPa (3 psi) gauge. Tubing
should have a minimum inside diameter of 6 millimeters (1/4 inch). In confined
areas, pipe the EXHAUST port outside to prevent an accumulation of nitrogen. It
is acceptable to add tubing to the EXHAUST port to reduce noise. Do not block
the exhaust tube.

WCaution

To prevent damage to the Product:

• Never connect a pressure supply to or block the Product

EXHAUST port.

• To avoid building up pressure on the EXHAUST port or on a

vacuum pump connected to the EXHAUST port, the vacuum
source should either be continuously ON or the EXHAUST
port should be bypassed to atmosphere when the vacuum
source is OFF. Pressure is exhausted out of the exhaust
port when controlling down in pressure.

When controlling down in pressure, the Product exhausts gas through the
EXHAUST port. The flow of this gas can be greater than what the vacuum pump
can support. When working at higher pressures, Fluke Calibration recommends
that the user turn off the vacuum pump. The pump should be equipped with an
auto-vent valve.

Pressure instruments and UUTs are connected to the test ports on top of the
Product. Depending on the configuration of the Product ordered, one of two
hand-tight test port types are installed: P3000 or HC20. These are hand-tight
fittings that include necessary adapters to connect to most common size NPT,
BSP, and metric female test ports found on analog gauges and transmitters. For
a list of adapters, refer to Table 2 and for replacement adapters, contact Fluke
Calibration. When the HC20 style test port is used, a gauge with a male M20
connection can be connected directly to the test port without the use of an
additional adapter.

Operators Manual

To prevent oils, grease, solvents, and water that could be present in a UUT from
contaminating the Product, a Contamination Prevention System (CPS) is
available for use with the Product. The CPS sits on a bench next to the product
and inside of a test stand that provides a sturdy platform to test pressure
instruments and devices. The CPS connects directly to a single Test port (the
other test port must be capped with a hand-tight cap). For more information and
instructions on how to install and service the CPS. See the Contamination

Prevention Accessory (CPS) section.

Note

Excessive leaks in the test volume affect control stability and
possibly cause measurement errors in the UUT. Use the Leak Test
task to check for leaks in the system prior to running a test.

WCaution

To prevent damage to the Product, when the Product is
connected to a system with liquid contaminants, take proper
precautions to purge the system and test line. The automated
purge task helps purge the liquid from the UUT. Not doing so
can cause Product contamination and result in a need for non­warranty service.

HC20

Note

Minimize the length of the test connection tubing to enhance control
performance and reduce pressure setting time.

The Product pressure control will not operate properly if there are
excessive leaks in the test system. The maximum acceptable leak
rate for optimal automated pressure control operation and to ensure
in tolerance measurements with default pressure control parameters

±

0.5 % of set pressure/minute. In DYNAMIC CONTROL mode, to

is
handle higher test system leak rates, ready tolerance can be
increased from the user interface.

The HC20 test port has an M20X1.5 female thread and an O-ring inside. It is
quick and easy to connect UUTs which have M20 X 1.5 male threads. The M20
test ports have many varied adapters, which are used to connect different UUTs
with other male threads, such as NPT or BSP M14 X 1.5. These adapters seal on
an O-ring and thus do not require PTFE tape. See Figure 5.

Connect a UUT

Connect the UUT to the top test port on the Product using the method described
below:

W Caution

To prevent Product damage or damage to a gauge:

• DO NOT use PTFE tape on these connections. This prevents

a correct seal. The Gauge Adapter sealing system can be
hand-tight sealed up to 20 MPa (3000 psi). Wrenches or
similar tools are not required. Over tightening can cause
damage to threads or sealing faces.

• Before connection, ensure that there is an O-ring fitted to

the test port.

• Check that the sealing face of the device to be fitted is clean

and undamaged, as scratches or dents can form leak-paths.

Note

The thread on the test port, and the lower part of the gauge adapters
is LEFT-HANDED. The following procedure details the correct
method for mounting devices using these adapters:

1. Screw the appropriate gauge adapter fully on to the UUT, see Figure 6.

To calibrate panel-mounted gauges with pressure connections in the rear, use an
Angle Adapter such as the Fluke P5543.

REF Port

The REF port (Reference port) is located on the top rear left of the Product and
should be open to atmosphere for gauge measurements or it can be connected
to the reference port of the pressure instruments and UUTs.

Instruments with a low full-scale pressure range require special handling to
assure their performance. These instruments are sensitive to atmospheric
pressure changes, including disturbances in the atmospheric pressure. The
reference side must be carefully controlled or changes due to wind, air handlers,
doors shutting, and more will cause major variations. The Product tracks these
changes but it may not track them in the same way as the pressure device under
test. To control these changes, Fluke Calibration recommends that the reference
port (also referred to as the "test-(test minus)" or "low" port) of all relevant
devices be tied to the REF port of the Product.

The REF port can be sealed from atmosphere in most applications where the test
times are relatively short. This isolates the port from pressure changes in the
atmosphere and results in stable pressure measurement and control.

If the reference port of an instrument is completely sealed from atmosphere, then
its pressure can change due to barometric pressure changes or temperature
changes in the environment. If the pressure in the REF port becomes lower than
the barometric pressure, then a vacuum pump must be attached to the
EXHAUST port to allow the Product to control down close to 0 psig.

For Products that have a BRM installed, the barometer is tied to the REF port. In
Gauge mode, connect the REF port as noted above. In Absolute mode, if the
ambient pressure is not stable, seal the REF port from atmosphere to improve
the control stability of the Product.

Pressure Control Settings

This section explains the pressure control settings of the Product. Some of these
settings can be accessed on the main screen but all are located in the Control

Pressure Control Settings

Control Modes

The Product offers two different control modes to control pressure:

• Dynamic mode sets the target pressure and constantly adjusts to maintain
the target.

• Static mode sets the target pressure and stops controlling, adjusting only
when the measured pressure has exceeded specific limits.

The subsequent sections give more information on each mode.

Dynamic Control Mode

Dynamic Control sets the pressure to the target value and then controls pressure
to keep it at the Setpoint value, see Figure 11. Dynamic Control is beneficial for
most applications because it automatically compensates for changes to the
system from adiabatic affects and small leaks. Dynamic Control is the default
control mode when the Product is turned on.

Note

Dynamic Control generates a very small amount of pressure noise
due to continuous pressure control. The pressure noise is
undetectable in most UUTs. For high-end sensitive UUTs where
pressure noise is a concern, use Static Control for the test.

In Figure 11, the default dynamic ready tolerance value is 0.1 % of the target
pressure value.

Static Control

Static Control sets the pressure slightly above the target pressure value and then
turns off active pressure control, see Figure 12. The pressure is allowed to
naturally settle until it exceeds the lower or upper ready tolerance. This pressure

hwr041.eps

The advantage of Static Control mode is that pressure can be set and measured
without noise from the pressure control system. Static Control shows in the user
interface as Static. A Ready indication is predicated on pressure being inside the
ready tolerance and the rate of change of pressure is less than the stability limit.

As an example, the upper and lower control limit for a target value of 2,000 psi is
manually set to 5 psi. The Product keeps the pressure stable between 1995 psi
and 2005 psi.

Control Limits (Only for Static Control)

Use Control limits to set an upper and lower pressure limit around the Setpoint.
These limits are only used with the Static Control mode. The default value is

0.1 psi. The Product will not let the pressure go above or below the user-defined

limits.

Stability Limit (Only for Static Control)

The Stability limit defines the stability at which the measurement indicator shows
“Ready”. Use Stability Limit only with Static Control mode.

Automated Pressure Calibrator

Pressure Control Settings

Slew Rate (Rate of Pressure Change)

Slew Rate is a user-defined maximum pressure rate of change. The Product
controls this pressure with minimum overshoot into a wide variety of external
volumes at its highest slew rate. In most applications Fluke Calibration
recommends to set the slew rate at its maximum rate value. This provides the
highest speed control without jeopardizing overshoot or control stability
properties. In applications where the device under test could be damaged by high
rate of pressure change, it can be necessary to slow down the slew rate (control
speed). The Product control algorithm limits the rate of pressure change to the
slew rate. On calibrators with full-scale pressures ranges <10 psi (70 kPa), it is
common to reduce the slew rate to <25 % of full scale/min to improve on control
overshoot characteristics.

Safety Limits

The Product has user-configurable safety limits that protect the UUT from being
inadvertently over-pressured (>Control Setup>Safety Limits).

Upper Limit

The upper limit is a safety limit that protects the UUT from being inadvertently
over-pressured. The upper limit is typically set just over the full-scale pressure of
the UUT. If a Setpoint greater than the user-defined upper limit is entered, the
Product does not accept the value and generates an error code. While in Control
mode, if pressure exceeds the user-defined limit, the Product changes to
Measure mode and shows an error message.

Lower Limit

This is the same as the high limit except it protects the UUT from low pressure
limits.

Auto Vent

This is the defined maximum pressure that the Product can reach prior to venting
the test port to atmosphere.

Measurement Modes

Note

The measurement modes depend on the pressure modules that are
installed.

The Measurement Modes on the Product are:

Absolute Mode – An absolute pressure measurement is made in relation to a
perfect vacuum. A value of 0 represents a perfect vacuum. Certain ranges of
PMMs are intrinsically absolute mode measurement modules, designated in their
model number by having an ‘A’ at the beginning of the range designation section
of the model number (for example, PM200-A200K). In addition, an inherently
gauge mode module (represented by a ‘G’ at the beginning of the range
designation section of the model number) can be used to measure absolute
pressure if combined with a Barometric Reference Module.

Gauge Mode – A gauge pressure measurement is made in relation to
atmospheric measurement. A value of 0 represents a pressure measurement
taken at atmospheric pressure. Certain ranges of PMMs are inherently gauge
mode measurement modules, designated in their model number by having a ‘G’
or ‘BG’ at the beginning of the range designation section (for example, PM200­G400K). A ‘BG’ designation means that the PMM is a bi-directional gauge and
thus has the ability to measure both positive and negative gauge (also referred to
as vacuum) pressures. In addition, certain intrinsically absolute modules have a
built-in barometer, allowing the modules to measure absolute, gauge, and
negative gauge pressures.

Tare Mode – When the user initiates Tare mode, the Product zeros out the
current pressure reading. This allows an intrinsically absolute measurement
module to be used to measure gauge mode measurements when not equipped
with an internal barometer. Only use this method when atmospheric pressure is
sufficiently stable.

The Product shows vacuum pressures as negative values (for
example, -465 mmHg). Some vacuum gauges do not show a
negative sign (-) in front of the reading because they are used for
only vacuum measurements (the vacuum gauge shows “465 mmHg
psi vacuum” without the negative sign). To prevent misinterpretation
of the vacuum gauge reading compared to the negative value on the
Product, look at the gauge face or user documentation to see how
the vacuum gauge shows vacuum pressures.

Measurement Resolution

Open the Measure Settings on the main menu to change the measurement
resolution for the pressure and the electrical measurement. For pressure, the
Measurement Resolution selections are 0.1%, 0.01%, 0.001%, or 0.0001% of the
active PMM range (shown as Range on the display). For electrical, the selections
are 0.1, 0.01, 0.001.

The Product selects the active pressure measurement module in these different
ways:

Fixed – The Product always keeps the user-selected range active. The display

modes. The Product does not accept a setpoint outside the measuring range of
the selected module.

Auto – This is the default setting. The Product selects the module with the lowest
pressure range that is sufficient to measure the current pressure.

Fast – The Product selects the module with the lowest pressure range that is
sufficient to measure the Setpoint. With this method, the Product does not switch
ranges during an upward pressure application but instead switches immediately
to the required range and stays on that range.

In normal use, the barometer module (if installed) reads atmospheric pressure
through the REF port on the top of the Product. This limited use and the intrinsic
measurement characteristics of the barometer module offer a stable reference
pressure for measurement assurance features. A direct reading of atmospheric
pressure also lets the Product determine gauge pressure with the intrinsically
absolute pressure module and to measure absolute pressure with the gauge
pressure modules. The AutoZero feature compares the active pressure module
output to the internal atmospheric pressure reference, tares the difference, and in
some modes, dynamically compensates for changes in atmospheric pressure.
The function happens automatically during each vent operation after the Product
has determined that a pressure measurement is fully vented and stable.
Depending on what type of PMM is installed and which measurement mode is
selected, AutoZero tares as follows:

• For PMMs that are intrinsically gauge being used for gauge measurements
(for example, PM200-G400K in Gauge mode), AutoZero tares the reading to
zero gauge pressure at vent.

• For PMMs that are intrinsically gauge being used to make simulated absolute
pressure measurements (for example, PM200-G7M in ABS mode), AutoZero
tares the reading to zero gauge pressure measurement at vent. For
subsequent measurements, the Product dynamically compensates the output
to show absolute pressure by adding the outputs of the active gauge
pressure module and the barometer module.

• For PMMs that are intrinsically absolute being used for gauge measurements
(for example, PM200-A200K in Gauge mode), AutoZero tares the reading to
zero gauge pressure at vent.

• For PMMs that are intrinsically absolute and used for absolute measurements
(for example, PM200-A200K), Auto Zero tares the module's reading so that it
equals the reading from the most accurate absolute module installed. PM200­AXXX modules do not have internal barometers.

Note

An AutoZero is performed prior to running HART tasks when in
gauge mode.

Measurement Setup

Atmosphere

Select the barometric reference or manually enter a barometric value from an
outside source from the Atmosphere menu (>Measure
Setup>Atmosphere). If a barometer module is installed, the Product
automatically selects it as the default barometric reference. To change the
barometric reference, select the module and unit from the Atmosphere menu.

Head Height

For calibration of a UUT at a different height than the Product, the user must
make a head-height correction. The head-height correction is the vertical
difference between the reference plane of the UUT to the center of the PMMs
while installed in the Product in inches, millimeters, or centimeters.
See Figure 13.

After the user makes the measurement, the user enters that value into the
Product. Select ABOVE if the UUT is above the Product and select BELOW if
the UUT is below the Product.

Note

Failure to make a head-height correction can result in an inaccurate
pressure measurement.

General Tasks

Leak Test

This function performs an automated leak test to show the rate of pressure loss.
To determine the rate of pressure loss, the Product uses the test parameters to
set the pressure to a Setpoint value. Once stable, the Product turns off pressure
control to measure the pressure loss. To help determine if a leak is external to
the system or inside of the system, the leak test mode can be changed to internal
or external.

To run a leak test, set these parameters to tell the Product how to perform the
leak task:

Setpoint Pressure – The target pressure of the test.

Stability – Tells the length of time that the pressure is dynamically stabilized at

the Setpoint before the test starts. The test does not start until the Product shows
the ready indication for the amount of time prescribed.

Duration – After reaching the stability time, the test starts and the Product
changes to Measure mode. The system then measures the rate of pressure loss.
When the test ends, the average rate of pressure loss per minute is shown. Time
duration can be set here.

Program Switch

To test a pressure switch:

1. Go into the Setup menu.

2. Connect the UUT to the switch test terminals on the front of the Product
(EM300 input terminals) with the pressure switch terminals to the pressure
switch contacts (de-energized dry contacts). The polarity of the terminals
does not matter. Connect the test port of the Product to the input of the
pressure switch.

3. Select Tasks>Switch Test. Use the keypad to enter the switch test values
into the Switch Test menu.

4. Configure the test:

Start – Minimum Setpoint pressure

End – Maximum Setpoint pressure for the test

Rate – This is the slew rate to determine how quickly the pressure will

increase or decrease. For sensitive switches, Fluke Calibration recommends
a slower rate.

Direction – Select whether to increase then decrease pressure (up and
down), or a one-time upward test (single).

5. Select Run to start the test. The task bar shows the progress of the test and
also the state of the switch (Open or Closed). The test is fully automated and
progress can be viewed at any time.

The Product changes the pressure over the specified range at the required
rate. When the switch changes state, the Product records the pressure. The
results of the switch test are shown on the display when the test completes.

Operators Manual

Exercise

Zero PMM

The Exercise function repeatedly pressurizes a UUT to reduce the effects of
hysteresis. The Exercise menu specifies a maximum and minimum Setpoint
pressure and how many times to repeat the routine (cycles).

To Exercise, set these parameters so the Product can do the task:

Maximum – Max Setpoint

Minimum – Minimum Setpoint

Cycle – How many times to repeat the tests

Delay – How long to stay at setpoint when the setpoints are reached

Control at Target – If ON, the Product uses the dynamic control mode to keep

pressure at the Setpoint. If OFF, the Product uses the static pressure control at
the Setpoint.

Use this function to manually set the PMM zero-pressure value to be the same
as the local atmosphere pressure value.

Note

Zeroing is done automatically for HART tasks when in gauge mode.

CPS Cleanout (If CPS is installed)

Use the CPS Cleanout menu to choose the duration of the CPS cleaning
process. The process removes contaminates from the CPS.

To run a cleanout process:

1. Select and enter the CPS cleanout menu.

2. Set the cleanout time in seconds.

3. Push  to run the process, push  to repeat the cleanout cycle if
needed.

4. Push  to stop.

Calibration Tasks

CPS Purge

Purge pressurizes and vents the test system plumbing connected to the Product.
Fluke Calibration recommends that if liquid or particulate contaminates are
expected to be present, the user should do a system purge before a calibration is
performed. The Product maintains internal cleanliness during any operation, but
contaminates are most easily handled during a relatively low pressure purge. To
purge the system, the Product pressurizes to the user-defined purge pressure
and then immediately vents to the plastic waste container. The Product repeats
the process for the number of cycles that are set.

To run a purge process:

1. Select CPS purge and push  to enter the menu.

2. Set the Pressure (100 kPa for example).

3. Push  to save.

4. Set how many times to cycle (or repeat).

5. Push  to save.

6. Push  to run the purge process.

Calibration Tasks

Transmitter

The first step in transmitter calibration is to do an As Found calibration. As Found
calibrations are done by configuring and running a mA “Program”. A Program is
used to define the test parameters including test points, tolerances, and mode
(absolute/gauge). With the mA program, a “Closed Loop” function can be used to
fully automate the test.

Before running a mA program to perform an As Found or As Left test:

1. Prior to the test, do a leak test on the transmitter to make sure there are no
significant leaks. See the Leak Test section.

2. Connect the transmitter to one of the pressure ports and connect the test
leads from the EMM to the appropriate terminals on the pressure transmitter.
Observe polarity. See Figures 7 and 8. Make sure to plug the test port that is
not in use.

3. Push  on the front panel.

4. From the main menu, push  Tasks and select Transmitter.

HART Operation

Run a Pressure Device Program

1. When a pressure program configuration is ready, push  to start the test.
As the test runs, the Product controls the pressure to the setpoint. Once at
the setpoint and the pressure stabilizes (Ready is shown), the dwell
countdown timer will start.

2. Once the dwell is finished, use the Jog Knob as fine adjustment to make sure
the value on the pressure device reaches the displayed UUT reading.

3. Push  when the reading becomes stable and reaches the setpoint.

4. After the Run step finishes, test results show on the display. Push page up or
page down if it has multiple pages.

A test report file named “XXXX (DATE) _XXXX(TIME).csv” is stored in the
internal mass storage disk. Use a USB cable connected to the chassis to copy
the data report.

HART Operation

The HART function of the product allows for calibration and testing of many
HART-enabled devices such as transmitters. The EMM uses Universal Practice
Commands and many Common Practice Commands that allow the user to
change parameters and easily make adjustments to the HART device. Some
HART devices require the use of specific device drivers in order to make
changes to parameters which the EMM is not equipped with. In this case, use of
a field communicator such as the Fluke 754 Documenting Process Calibrator is
necessary.

Pressure Transmitter Instructions

The Product tests, troubleshoots, and calibrates analog as well as “smart”
pressure transmitters with HART functionality. Pressure transmitters are usually
classified as an “analog” transmitter or a “smart” transmitter.

Analog Transmitters

Analog transmitters are fairly basic and let the user make two adjustments to
calibrate:

1. Zero the transmitter by adjusting the LRV (Lower Range Value) of the
transmitter to the zero pressure point that will supply an output of 4 mA.

2. Adjust the URV (Upper Range Value) of the transmitter to the upper working
pressure that will supply an output of 20 mA.

These transmitters are usually adjusted with a screwdriver by turning two
potentiometers on the top or side of the transmitter. The Product helps in the
calibration of these analog transmitters by providing an accurate, easy to control
source of pressure while also precisely measuring the analog 4-20 mA signal.

55

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

2271A

Operators Manual

Smart Transmitters

Smart transmitters are more complex and offer more features that allow the
transmitters to store and transmit more information to a central control center.
For example, many smart transmitters have a digital signal that transmits not only
the analog 4-20 mA signal, but also the pressure reading back to the central
control center. While many newer systems use this digital signal, most still just
use the analog 4-20 mA signal which just requires the analog circuit to be
adjusted when calibrated.

To communicate with smart transmitters, Highway Addressable Remote
Transducer (HART) communication protocol is used. HART is an industry
standard that defines the communications protocol between smart field devices
and a control system that uses traditional 4-20 mA wiring. HART allows the
technician to configure and adjust variables stored and used by the transmitter.
Many of these variables are used to calibrate the smart transmitter. The Electrical
Measurement Module (EMM) is HART-enabled and uses Universal Practice
Commands and many HART Common Practice Commands that let the user
change parameters and make adjustments to the HART device. Many smart
transmitters are designed with specific commands that are not part of the
common practice or universal command library. These commands are
sometimes needed to perform a digital sensor trim (for example) and are referred
to as “device drivers”. The EMM does not contain any device drivers.

Using the mA Function to Test and Troubleshoot

To test the mA output of a pressure transmitter prior to calibration, whether
analog or smart, the Product has a mA menu () that supplies 24 V loop
power while accurately controlling pressure to the transmitter. The menu can
enable or disable 24 V loop power to the transmitter and also can measure dc
voltage up to 30 V.

To test or troubleshoot a pressure transmitter:

1. Connect the transmitter to one of the pressure ports and connect the test
leads from the EMM to the appropriate terminals on the pressure transmitter.
Observe polarity. See Figures 14 and 15. Make sure to plug the other test
port that is not in use.

2. Push  on the front panel.

3. Push  to turn on 24 V Loop Power ON.

4. Use the pressure controls on the front panel to manually control pressure to
complete the test or troubleshooting. See the Pressure Control section for
information on how to control pressure.

WWarning

To prevent personal injury or damage to the UUT, know the
pressure limitations of the pressure device being tested. The
Product is can control pressure up to 20 MPa (3,000 psi) and
can set pressure when controlling to a setpoint.

5. When finished, push vent to make sure the system is vented and disconnect
the pressure connections and electrical leads.

Automated Pressure Calibrator

Contamination Prevention System (CPS)

Contamination Prevention System (CPS)

Note

Maximum working pressure (MWP) of the CPS is 20 MPa
(3,000 psi.)

The Contamination Prevention System (CPS) is a Product accessory that
protects the Product from contamination from the UUT.

The CPS accomplishes this through these methods:

• The CPS is electrically connected to the Product. On downward pressure
excursions, the Product releases the pressure through its vent valve. While
the precise pressure control is done in the Product, the major change in
pressure is accomplished through the Product. This results in uni-directional
flow between the Product and the CPS.

• Substances from the UUT drop into a sump system that uses gravity to trap
any liquids. The sump is routinely purged when the system is vented.

• The CPS includes both a 25 micron screen and coalescing filter.

WCaution

To prevent damage to the Product:

• Do not use the CPS if it is not turned on in the Settings.

• Service the filters regularly. Service frequently if the UUT

has a large amount of fluid in it or is very dirty.

• Do not let the fluid in the bottle fill to the top.

WWarning

To prevent injury:

• Do not use CPS with flammable or combustible liquids.

• Only use the CPS with a pressure controller rated for no

greater than the MWP of the CPS 20 MPa (3,000 psi).

67

2271A

Operators Manual

Install the CPS

To install the CPS:

1. Place the CPS on a solid surface near the Product. The CPS is heavy
enough to sit on a bench and if desired, can be bolted to a bench. See
Figure 17 for connections. Observe the correct polarity of the connector to the
Product (the brown wire should be on the left of DRV3).

2. Connect the electrical cable from the CPS to the DRV1, DRV2, and DRV3
connections on the back of the Product. The connector ensures that the CPS
is connected correctly. See Figure 17.

3. Connect the test port of the Product to a pressure port on the top of the CPS
and cap the other test port with the hand tight cap.

4. On the Product, select (>Instrument Setup>CPS). When CPS is
enabled, the LED indicator on the CPS fixture lights green.

WCaution

To avoid Product damage, the CPS must be enabled or the
Product will be exposed to contamination.

Do not use the CPS unless the LED is illuminated. Turning off
the CPS is not an acceptable way of bypassing the CPS.

CPS Use

To use the CPS, connect the UUT to the top test port on the CPS using the same
method as described in the Connect a UUT section.

WCaution

To prevent Product damage or damage to a gauge:

• DO NOT use PTFE tape on these connections. This prevents

a correct seal. The gauge adapter sealing system can be
hand-tight sealed up to 20 MPa (3000 psi). Wrenches or
similar tools are not required. Over tightening can cause
damage to threads or sealing faces.

• Before connection, ensure that there is an O-ring fitted to

the test port.

• Check that the sealing face of the device to be fitted is clean

and undamaged, as scratches or dents can form leak-paths.

Note

The threads on the test port, and the lower part of the gauge
adapters are left-handed.

1. Screw on the appropriate gauge adapter to the UUT, see Figure 18.

Disconnect the CPS

To disconnect the CPS:

1. Vent the system.

2. Disable the CPS in the settings. It is important that the CPS is disabled in the
firmware before it is physically disconnected from the system. Failure to do
so could result in the system not being able to vent pressure.

3. Once disabled in the firmware, the CPS can be disconnected both electrically
and pneumatically.

CPS Cleaning

The CPS requires periodic cleaning. To clean the CPS, see Figure 23:

1. Vent the CPS.

2. Remove the waste bottle  from the side opening of the CPS bracket and
safely dispose of the contents.

3. Drop the sump.

4. Pull down the filter assembly.

5. Unscrew the lower screen retainer  from the bottom of the filter assembly.

6. Pull out the screen  and rinse with soapy water or alcohol.

7. Inspect the coalescing filter. If saturated with oil particles, it needs to be
replaced. The coalescing filter cannot be cleaned.

Reset Controller Settings

Diagnostics

Some of the Setup menus have a reset button that reset the settings on the
current menu to the default values. Reset only resets the settings on the screen
being viewed and no others. This is a helpful troubleshooting tool in case an
accidental change was made to the values.

A factory reset function is available in the Instrument Setup Menu that when
pushed, resets the Product to its original factory settings.

The Diagnostics menu provides helpful system information, tools, and functions
to help troubleshoot and keep the system in good working operation.

Note

If the Product is configured as a system, the Diagnostics menu
shows all of the controllers connected to it in the Diagnostics menu.

The Diagnostics menu has these sections:

• System

• Measure

System

• Control

• Remote Interface

The System Diagnostics menu provides information on these system
components:

Test Port Vent Valve and Ref Port Vent Valve – These are normally-closed
isolation valves installed on the internal pressure manifold. When the system is in
the Vent mode, these valves should be open. In other modes, such as Control
and Measure, the valves should be closed. If the status is different than that
described, the valve may be malfunctioning.

Ref Port Vent Valve – This is a normally-closed isolation valve installed on the
internal pressure manifold. When in the Gauge measurement mode, the valve is
closed. When in Absolute or Tare, the valve is open. If the status is different than
that described, the valve may be malfunctioning.

Automated Pressure Calibrator

Diagnostics

Measure

The Measure diagnostics menu provides information on each PMM connected:

PMM – This is the PMM range and name.

Pressure – This is the pressure measured by the sensor in the PMM.

Temperature – This is the ambient temperature inside the PMM. The

temperature inside the PMM can be as much as 5 °C higher than room
temperature during normal operation.

Test Valve and Ref Valve – This is a normally-closed isolation valve installed on
the internal pressure manifold in front of each PMM. The test valve isolates
pressure to the PMM and is controlled by the internal software. When a PMM is
selected in the Module Selection menu, the test valve should be open. For
manual testing and troubleshooting, select a single PMM and test the valve. In
other modes such as Fast and Auto, the Product opens and closes the valves
based on a control algorithm. If the status is different than that described, the
valve may be malfunctioning. See the Service Manual for replacement
instructions.

The menu also has a Pneumatic self test function located at the bottom of the
menu that automatically tests each PMM to see if the valves are opening and
closing properly. The system controls pressure as necessary and monitor the
valve states. If a valve is not functioning properly, an error with information is
shown that indicates which valve is malfunctioning.

Control

The Control Diagnostics menu provides information about the PCM:

Port Pressure – This menu shows the pressure measurement at the test port,
supply port, and exhaust port.

Control Module – This menu shows the PCM model number, serial number, and
firmware revision.

Control Coefficients – This menu shows the control coefficients (C0) the PCM
is using. To change the coefficients, tune the PCM using the Autotune function
located in this menu.

Autotune

– The Autotune function is a fully automated procedure that runs the

Product through a series of pressures across its ranges. The Product then
changes the control coefficients to provide the best control performance. Use
Autotune only when the control performance is unacceptable. The system must
be leak free, have sufficient volume, and all items on the test port must be rated
for the maximum pressure of the system.
