Limited Warranty

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 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 nondefective 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 enduser customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.

Fluke’s warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke’s option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the warranty period.

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center or send the product, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination), to the nearest Fluke authorized service center. Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation or handling, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work.

Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).

THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

700PEx Series Pressure Modules

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The Fluke 700PEx Series Pressure Modules allow you to measure pressure with Fluke intrinsically safe calibrators such as the 718Ex. Read this sheet before using the pressure modules. This instruction sheet contains specifications and information about how to avoid damaging the pressure modules and describes how to safely use them in hazardous locations. Refer to your calibrator’s Users Manual for complete operating instructions.

The pressure modules measure pressure using an internal microprocessor. They receive operating power from and send digital information to the intrinsically safe calibrators.

Gage pressure modules have one pressure fitting and measure pressure with respect to atmospheric pressure.

Differential pressure modules have two pressure fittings and measure the difference between the applied pressure on the high fitting versus the low fitting. A differential pressure module functions like a gage module when the low fitting is open.

Absolute pressure modules measure relative to a vacuum.

Safety Information

In this instruction sheet a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the pressure module or equipment under test. International symbols used in this instruction sheet are identified later in the Symbols section. Read the entire instruction sheet and the 700PEx CCD (Concept Control Drawing) before using the pressure module.

In case of doubt (due to translation and/or printing errors) refer to the original English instruction sheet.

XW Warning

To avoid electric shock, injury, or damage to the pressure module:

Use the pressure module only as described in this instruction sheet and the Fluke 700PEx CCD (Concept Control Drawing) otherwise the protection provided by the pressure module may be impaired.

Inspect the pressure module before use. Do not use it if it appears damaged.

Check the cable for damaged insulation. Do not use the pressure module if the cable appears damaged.

Never use the pressure module with the case open. Opening the case invalidates Ex Approval.

This equipment is specified for use in measurement category I (CAT I) pollution degree 2 environments and should not be used in CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV environments. Voltage transients should not exceed 300 volts for the CAT I applications where this product is used. Measurement transients are defined in IEC1010-1 as 2 µs rise time with a 50 µs duration at 50 % of the maximum amplitude height.

Measurement Category I (CAT I) is defined for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the mains.

Faults and Damage

If there is any reason to suspect that the safe operation of the pressure module has been affected, it must be immediately withdrawn from use and precautionary measures must be taken to prevent any further use of the pressure module in an Ex hazardous area.

XW Warning

The safety features and integrity of the pressure module may be compromised by any of the following:

External damage to the housing

Internal damage to the pressure module

Exposure to pressure loads in excess of the maximum rated pressure

Incorrect storage of the unit

Damage sustained in transit

Correct certification is illegible

Functioning errors occur

Permitted limitations are exceeded

Functioning errors or obvious measurement inaccuracies occur which prevent further measurement by the pressure module

Safety Regulations

The use of the 700PEx pressure modules meets the requirements of the regulations providing that the user observes and applies the requirements as laid down in the regulations and that incorrect use of the unit is avoided. Use must be restricted to the specified application parameters.

Protecting Yourself from Pressure Releases

XW Warning

To avoid injury due to the release of high pressure, use only adapters and fittings rated to withstand the appropriate pressure. Ensure that all adapters and fittings are securely connected.

To avoid a violent release of pressure in a pressurized system, slowly bleed off the pressure before you attach or remove the pressure module from the pressure line.

When measuring the pressure of potentially hazardous media, care must be taken to minimize the possibility of leakage. Confirm that all pressure connections are properly sealed.

Avoiding Mechanical Damage

To avoid damaging the pressure modules, never apply more than 10 ft.-lbf. of torque between the module fittings or between the fittings and the body of the module. Figure 1 shows the correct way and incorrect ways to use a wrench when applying torque to the pressure module fitting.
