Pressure Calibrator
Introduction
The Fluke 718 Series Pressure Calibrators do the
following:
• Calibrate P/I (pressure to current) transmitters
• Measure pressure via a 1/8-inch NPT pressure fitting
and an internal pressure sensor or via a Fluke 700
Series Pressure Module
Source pressure
•
• Measure current up to 24 mA
• Simultaneously display pressure and current
measurements.
• Supply loop voltage
• Calculate mA percentage in Percent Mode
• Calculate mA error % in Percent Error Mode
The 718 Pressure Calibrators (hereafter, “the Calibrator”)
include:
• 718 1G
• 718 30G
• 718 100G
• 718 300G
The Calibrator makes 5-digit pressure readings in the
following units: psi, inH
cmH
O at 4 °C, cmH2O at 20 °C, bar, mbar, kg/cm2, inHg,
2
O at 4 °C, inH2O at 20 °C, kPa,
2
and mmHg.
Pressure sensor specifications are as listed under
“Pressure Sensor Input”.
The Calibrator measures pressure sensor inputs in the
units shown in Table 1.
For pressure modules, full scale readings for all pressure
ranges can be made in psi, kPa, and inHg units. To avoid
display overflow, full scale readings are limited to 1000 psi
in cmH
units. Pressures of at least 15 psi must be measured for
meaningful readings in bar and kg/cm
O, mbar, and mmHg units, and 3000 psi in inH2O
2
2
units.
Your Calibrator is supplied with a holster, two installed 9 V
alkaline batteries, one set of TL75 test leads, one set of
AC70A alligator clips, one 700-ILF In-Line Filter (to protect
the pump), a Product Overview Manual, and a CD-Rom.
If the Calibrator is damaged or something is missing,
contact the place of purchase immediately. Contact your
Fluke distributor for information about accessories. See

Safety Information
Use the Calibrator only as specified in this Users Manual,
otherwise the protection provided by the Calibrator may be
impaired.
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose
hazard(s) to the user; a Caution identifies conditions and
actions that may damage the Calibrator or the equipment
under test.

Safety Information
Table 2. Safety Information
XW Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
• Never apply more than 30 V between the mA terminals, or between either of the mA terminals and earth
ground.
• Do not use the Calibrator to make measurements in a CAT II, CAT III, or a CAT IV environment.
CAT I equipment is designed to protect against transient from high-voltage, low-energy sources, such
as electronic circuits or a copy machine
• Remove the test leads from the Calibrator before you open the battery door.
• Make sure the battery door is closed and latched before you operate the Calibrator.
• Do not operate the Calibrator if it is damaged.
• Do not operate the Calibrator around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
• When using probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Use only two 9 V batteries, properly installed in the Calibrator case, to power the Calibrator.
• Follow all equipment safety procedures.
• Turn off circuit power before connecting the Calibrator mA and COM terminals in the circuit. Place
Calibrator in series with the circuit.
• When servicing the Calibrator, use only specified replacement parts.
• Do not allow water inside the case.
