Portable Pressure Calibrator
Initial Setup and Basic Pressure Generation
Initial Setup and Basic Pressure Generation
The Product has a special low-volume calibration hose for faster pressure generation and quick pressure stabilization. "Quick-fit" hose connectors and different adapters are included. It is recommended that this hose is used to get the best results. After the fittings are installed and the Product is connected to the UUT (unit under test), the Product is ready for use.
To configure the Product for the appropriate application:
1. Set the pressure/vacuum selection knob to the necessary function (+ for pressure
and - for vacuum).
2. Close the vent knob.
3. Close the supply metering valve.
4. Push and hold and see the pressure rise (or vacuum generation) until you reach
the necessary pressure.
5. Release when the necessary pressure is reached.
Note
The motor speed starts slow while the pressure is low <15 psi (1 bar) for better control at low pressures.
6. The fine pressure adjustment lets you set the correct pressure.
7. To decrease or bleed off all pressure, slowly turn the vent knob counter clockwise to
the open position. When the valve is slowly opened, there is a slow decrease of pressure. Open the valve more to vent the pressure.
Pressure Measurement
To measure pressure:
1. Connect the Product with the correct adapter.
2. Select the pressure parameter for the display used.
3. The Product has an internal sensor and optional external sensors are available. Select
a sensor that is correct for the pressure range and accuracy.
To prevent injury, only assemble and operate high-pressure systems if you know the correct safety procedures. High­pressure liquids and gases are hazardous and the energy from them can be released without warning.
For a better understanding with respect to overpressure and burst pressure, follow the specifications and these operation instructions. See the “Specifications” section. The Product display will show "OL" when an inappropriate pressure is applied. When "OL" is shown on a pressure display, immediately decrease the pressure to prevent damage or possible physical injury. "OL" is shown if the pressure exceeds the nominal range by 110 %. Push to zero the pressure sensor after it is vented to atmospheric pressure.

Calibrate Transmitters
Use the mA Measurement Function
The mA function lets you read the 4... 20 mA output from the UUT. This can be done in two ways:
1. Passively – the UUT generates 4... 20 mA directly. This can be read on the Product.
2. Actively – the Product supplies a loop power of 24 V dc to the UUT to power the
device while it reads the 4... 20 mA signal. See Figure 25.
