Introduction
The Fluke 3130 (the Product) is a portable pressure calibrator that can use two methods to source pressure:
An internal, electronic pump that has a range of -12 psi to 300 psi (-0.8 bar to 20 bar)
An external connection that lets you use externally-sourced, clean, dry air to regulate
pressures to a maximum of 300 psi
Product features include:
A built-in needle valve for metering in pressure
Variable volume for small pressure changes
An internal pressure sensor

Item Description
Supply metering valve. Use the supply metering valve to regulate the incoming air supply. See the “Typical Connections” section for more.
Isolation valve. This valve isolates the right-most port and pressure sensor from the Vent/Fine adjust, pump, and Supply Metering Valve.
Pump Pressure/Vacuum. In the + position, the pump operates from 0 psi to 300 psi. In the - position, the pump runs in vacuum mode, which is 0 psi to -12 psi.
Fine adjust/vent. Use the small silver knob of this valve to bleed off the pressure in a
controlled manner. If left open, it will vent all pressure off safely. The outer-most knob (black) is a vernier control that varies the volume which finely reduces or increases the pressure.
Power Adapter input.
24 V power for voltage transmitters. This jack only powered when in Voltage Measure mode.
 Common Jack.

Input Jacks. Use the input jacks for volts and milliamp functions. See the “Measure and Source Current (4… 20 mA)” and “Measure Voltage” sections. Also used for switch test.

Power Options
Power Options
The Product can be powered with the internal, high-capacity NiMH battery and/or the universal power supply (90 V ac to 250 V ac) that charges the battery pack. The universal power supply can power the Product at the same time it charges the battery pack. A fully­discharged battery can take a maximum of 14 hours to recharge. When the Product is first received, plug it into the universal power supply for that period to ensure the Product is fully charged.
Product Startup
When you turn on the Product, it goes through a short self-test. The display shows the current firmware version, auto-shutdown status, and the range of the internal pressure sensor. The Product also shows the warning “ FOR USE WITH DRY GAS ONLY”.
A minimum 5-minute warm-up is necessary to get the rated accuracy of the Product. If there are large changes in ambient temperature, a longer warm-up is necessary.
Pressure ranges must be zeroed each time the Product is started. See the “Zero Function” section for instructions to zero the pressure sensor displays.
Product Menus
The menu bar at the bottom of the display is controlled with the softkeys or arrow keys, this depends on which menu is in use. Use the menu bar to navigate the Product menus. The menus are explained in the subsequent sections. A menu map is shown in Figure 7.
