Measuring Pressure

Many ranges and types of pressure modules are available from Fluke. See “Accessories” near the back of this manual. Before you use a pressure module, read its instruction sheet. The modules vary in use, media, and accuracy.
Figure 12 shows the gage and differential modules. Differential modules also work in gage mode by leaving the low fitting open to atmosphere.
To measure pressure, attach the appropriate pressure module for the process pressure to be tested
Proceed as follows to measure pressure:

Figure 12. Gage and Differential Pressure Modules
W Warning
To avoid a violent release of pressure in a pressurized system, shut off the valve and slowly bleed off the pressure before you attach the pressure module to the pressure line.
26
Caution
To avoid mechanically damaging the pressure module, never apply more than 10 ft.-lb. (13.5 Nm) of torque between the pressure module fittings, or between the fittings and the body of the module. Always apply appropriate torque between the pressure module fitting and connecting fittings or adapters.
Using Measure Mode
To avoid damaging the pressure module from overpressure, never apply pressure above the rated maximum printed on the pressure module.
To avoid damaging the pressure module from corrosion, use it only with specified materials. Refer to the printing on the pressure module or the pressure module instruction sheet for the acceptable material compatibility.
1. Connect a pressure module to the calibrator as shown in Figure 13. The threads on the pressure modules accept standard ¼ NPT pipe fittings. Use the supplied ¼ NPT to ¼ ISO adapter if necessary.
2. Press
A. The calibrator automatically senses
which pressure module is attached and sets its range accordingly.
3. Zero the pressure module as described in the module’s Instruction Sheet. Modules vary in zeroing procedures depending on module type, but all require pressing

Zeroing with Absolute Pressure Modules

To zero, adjust the calibrator to read a known pressure. This can be barometric pressure, if it is accurately known, for all but the 700PA3 module. The maximum range of 700PA3 is 5 psi; therefore the reference pressure must be applied with a vacuum pump. An accurate pressure standard can also apply a pressure within range for any absolute pressure module. To adjust the calibrator reading, proceed as follows:
1. Press K, REF Adjust will appear to the right of the pressure reading.
2. Use X to increase or W to decrease the calibrator reading to equal the reference pressure.
3. Press Kagain to exit zeroing procedure.
The calibrator stores and automatically reuses the zero offset correction for one absolute pressure module so that the module is not rezeroed every time you use it.

Remote Control Commands

You can control the calibrator remotely from a PC running a terminal emulator program. The remote control commands give access to all capabilities of the calibrator with the exception of pressure measurement. See Table 8A-8C for the remote commands and explanations.
The Fluke 700SC Serial Interface Cable Assembly (PN
667425) plugs into the pressure module connector and
terminates in a DB-9 connector which plugs directly into a PC serial port. A DB-9 to DB-25 adapter is required to connect to a PC.
The remote control interface on the 725 is activated by turning the calibrator off, then turning it on again while depressing the remote port enabled. The terminal emulator connected to the calibrator should be set up for: 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.

Replacing the Batteries

Replacing the Batteries
WWarning
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the battery indicator (M) appears.
Figure 23 shows you how to replace the battery.

Replacing the Fuses

The calibrator comes equipped with two 0.05A, 250V, socketed fuses to protect the calibrator.
WWarning
To avoid electrical shock, remove the test leads from the calibrator before opening the battery door. Close and latch the battery door before using the calibrator.
The fuses can be removed and checked for resistance. A value of < 10 is good. Problems while measuring using the right jacks indicate that F3 may have opened. If you can’t measure or source current with the left jacks, F4 may have opened. To replace the fuses, refer to Figure 23 and perform the following steps:
1. Turn the calibrator off, remove the test leads from the terminals, and hold the calibrator face down.
2. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the battery door screws 1/4-turn counterclockwise and remove the battery door.
3. Remove and replace the damaged fuse.
4. Replace the battery door and secure it by turning the screws 1/4-turn clockwise.
