Documenting Process Calibrator Get Started

Get Started

Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Remove circuit power before you connect
the Product in the circuit when you measure current. Connect the Product in series with the circuit.
• Do not touch exposed metal on banana
plugs, they can have voltages that could cause death.
• Disconnect power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before you measure resistance or continuity.
A brief getting started exercise follows:
1. After you unpack the Product, charge the battery for 8 hours (if the battery is outside of the Product, charge for 5 hours). For more information, see “The Battery”. The Battery will only charge if the Product is off.
2. Connect voltage output to the voltage input. To do this connect the left pair of jacks (V Ω RTD SOURCE) to the right pair of jacks (V MEASURE). See Figure 2.
3. Push o to turn on the Product. If necessary, adjust the display brightness. See “Display Brightness”. The Product powers up in the dc voltage measurement function, and is reading on the V MEASURE pair of input jacks.
4. Push  to show the SOURCE screen. The Product still measures dc voltage and the active measurement is at the top of the display.
5. Push  to select dc voltage sourcing. Push 5 on the keypad and to begin sourcing 5.0000 V dc.
6. Push  to go to the split-screen, simultaneous MEASURE/SOURCE mode. The Product simultaneously sources dc volts and measures dc volts. The measurement readings are shown on the top display, and the active source value on the bottom display as shown in Figure 3.

Source Pressure

The Product has a source pressure display function where an external pressure hand pump is necessary. Use this function to calibrate instruments where a pressure source or differential pressure measurement is necessary. See Figures 21 and 36 for information about that application.
Many ranges and types of pressure modules are available from Fluke, see “Accessories”. Before you use a pressure module, read its instruction sheet. The modules are different in how they are used, zeroed, what types of process pressure media are allowed, and accuracy specifications.
To use the source pressure display, see Figure 21:
Warning
To avoid a violent release of pressure in a pressurized system, shut off the valve and slowly bleed off the pressure before attaching the pressure module to the pressure line.
Caution
To avoid mechanically damaging the pressure module:
• Never apply more than 10 ft.-lb. of torque
between the pressure module fittings or between the fittings and the body of the module.
• Always apply correct torque between the
pressure module fitting and connecting fittings or adapters.
• 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. See the printing on the pressure module or the pressure module instruction sheet for the acceptable material compatibility.

Source Temperature with a Hart Scientific Drywell

The Product can source temperature using a Hart Scientific Drywell. Many models are supported.
The drywell driver is able to talk to other drywells from Hart Scientific, provided that they respond to Hart Scientific’s standard serial interface commands.
Connect the Product to the drywell by plugging the drywell interface cable into the pressure module connector as shown in Figure 24. If the drywell has a DB9 connector, plug the drywell interface cable directly into the drywell using the DB9 Null Modem adapter. Drywells with the 3.5 mm jack connector need to use the serial cable supplied with the drywell in addition to the Product drywell interface cable. Join the DB9 connectors of the two cables, and connect the
3.5 mm jack to the drywell. Be sure the drywell is configured for serial communication at
2400, 4800, or 9600 bits per second. Other rates are not supported by the Product.
To source a temperature with a drywell:
1. If necessary, push for SOURCE mode.
2. Push t to display the temperature mode menu.
3. Select Drywell from the list of options, and press .
4. The Product will begin to search for a drywell. If the Product shows Attempting connection for more than
10 seconds, double check your cable connections and drywell configuration.
5. If a dual well is recognized, a menu will pop up that allows you to select a "hot" or "cold" side of the dual well. Only one side of the drywell may be controlled at a time. Switching sides requires the drywell to be reconnected, by disconnecting the serial cable or by leaving drywell source mode and selecting it again.
6. When the drywell is connected, the primary display will show the actual temperature of the drywell, as measured by the drywell internally. The drywell model number will appear above the primary reading. The setpoint for the drywell is displayed in the secondary display, at the bottom of the screen. Initially, the setpoint will be set to the value already stored in the drywell.
7. Enter the temperature you wish to source and press .
The settled indicator will be cleared when the actual temperature is within one degree of the setpoint, and the actual temperature is not changing quickly. Refer to the drywell documentation for that model's recommendations for stabilization time.
The upper temperature limit is restricted by the "High Limit" setting stored in the drywell. If the Product will not set the drywell to temperatures within the drywell spec, refer to the drywell manual to check the "High Limit" setting.

Step and Ramp the Output Value

Two features are available that let you adjust the value of source functions, except pressure. For pressure, an external pressure source must be used:
• Step the output manually with  and , or in automatic mode.
• Ramp the output with optional continuity or V trip detect.

Manual Step Use

The manual Step feature selects a step size in engineering units (mV, V, mA, °C, etc.) or % of scale. Step the output in % of scale to quickly jump between 0 % and 100 % (set step size = 100 %) or 0-50-100 % (set step size = 50 %). Step works in SOURCE and in MEASURE/SOURCE modes.
To select a step size:
1. See the applicable Source Mode subheading in this manual (for example, “Source Electrical Parameters”) and connect the Product to the test circuit.
2. If necessary, push for SOURCE mode.
3. Set the Product for the necessary source value.
4. To step the source value in % of scale, set the % of scale value as given before in “Measurement Scale”.

9. Push the Done softkey to continue normal operation.

Ramp the Output

When ramped, the source sweeps up or down in value. Use the ramp feature to check a switch or alarm, or when a smooth increase or decrease of the output function is necessary. The Product can be set to ramp up or down in engineering units (mV, V, mA, °C, etc.) or % of scale.
While the signal ramps, the output is adjusted 4 times per second. The size of the steps is bound by the selection of endpoints and ramp time. For example, if you set the Product to ramp from 1 mV to 1 V over 10 seconds, the output is adjusted in approximately 25 mV steps.
The Ramp function continues until you get the selected limit, or until an optional trip condition is met. The optional trip detect works as follows: during ramping, the Product checks for either a 1 V change in dc voltage or a change in continuity status (Open or Short) from one ¼ second interval to the subsequent interval.
