Safety
General warnings
Electrical warnings
Before using the instrument, read and understand all the
related data. This includes: the applicable local safety
procedures, this publication, and the instructions for any
accessories/options/equipment.
WARNING
• It is dangerous to ignore the specified limits for the
instrument or its related accessories. Do not use the
instrument or accessory if it is not in its normal
condition. Use the applicable protection and obey all
safety precautions.
• To prevent electrical shocks or damage to the
instrument, do not connect more than 30V between the
terminals, or between the terminals and the ground
(earth).
• This instrument uses a Ni-MH battery pack. To prevent
an explosion or fire, do not short circuit, do not
disassemble, keep it safe from damage. For operating
conditions, see Table 11-1.
Pressure warnings
• To prevent battery leakage or heat generation, only use
the battery charger and power supply in the
temperature range 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F). For
operating conditions, see Table 11-1.
• To make sure the display shows the correct data,
disconnect the test leads before setting the power to on
or change to another measure or source function.
When using a pressure option with the DPI 620-IS calibrator,
these warnings are also applicable:
• Some liquid and gas mixtures are dangerous. This
includes mixtures that occur because of contamination.
Make sure that the equipment is safe to use with the
necessary media.
• Pressurized gases and fluids are dangerous. Before
connecting or disconnecting pressure equipment,
safely release all the pressure.
• To prevent a dangerous release of pressure, make sure
that all the related pipes, hoses and equipment have the
correct pressure rating, are safe to use and are
correctly attached.
[EN] English - K0460Safety iii
Issue 1
• It is dangerous to attach an external source of pressure
to a PM 620-IS series pressure station. Use only the
specified mechanisms to set and control the pressure
in the pressure station.
Cautions
Marks and symbols
on the instrument
To prevent damage to the display, do not use sharp
objects on the touch-screen.
To prevent damage to the PM 620-IS module, only use it
within the specified pressure limit on the label.
Before starting an operation or procedure in this publication,
the user must have the necessary skills (if necessary, with
qualifications from an approved training establishment). Follow
good engineering practice at all times.

Pressure calibrator
Overview
The intrinsically safe, advanced modular calibrator (AMC) is
part of a set of hand-held modules that can be quickly put
together to include a wide range of calibrator functions.
Advanced modular calibrator, DPI 620-IS (this user
manual): This is a battery-powered instrument for electrical
measure and source operations and HART® communications;
see Table A1 (front cover). It also supplies the power and user
interface functions for all the add-on modules. Use the
touch-screen to display up to six different parameters.
Pressure module carrier, MC 620-IS (this user manual):
This attaches to the DPI 620-IS calibrator to make a fully
integrated pressure indicator instrument. To measure and
display pneumatic or hydraulic pressures, up to two
interchangeable pressure modules can be used at a time.
When not in use fit blanking device (part number 191-369).
Pressure modules, PM 620-IS (this user manual):
Optional item. These modules attach to the pressure module
carrier (MC 620-IS) or to a pressure station (PV 62x-IS) to give
the DPI 620-IS calibrator the necessary pressure measurement
functionality. They are fully interchangeable “plug and play”
modules with no initial set-up or user calibration.
Optional item. To make a fully integrated pressure calibrator,
attach the DPI 620-IS calibrator to one of the three pressure
stations:
• two pneumatic pressure stations gives an accurate and
controlled pressure and vacuum conditions:
PV 621-IS: -950 mbar to 20 bar (-13.5 to 300 psi) version
PV 622-IS: -950 mbar to 100 bar (-13.5 to 1500 psi) version
• one hydraulic pressure station gives an accurate and
controlled hydraulic pressure conditions:
PV 623-IS: 0 to 1000 bar (15000 psi)
The advanced modular calibrator (AMC-IS) and the pressure
module (PM 620-IS) are part of a set of hand-held modules that
can be quickly put together to include a wide range of calibrator
functions.
To give the attached equipment overpressure protection, there
are pressure relief valves (PRV) available for all the pressure
stations.

WARNING
• This instrument uses the GE specified, Ni-MH battery
pack. To prevent an explosion or fire, do not short
circuit, do not disassemble, keep it safe from damage.
For operating conditions, see Table 11-1.
• Charge the GE specified battery in a safe area, using the
GE supplied charger and cradle.
• To prevent battery leakage or heat generation, only use
the battery charger and cradle in the temperature range
0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F). For operating conditions, see
Table 11-1.
For a full battery specification, refer to Table 11-1.

2.5.3 Charge the battery
Fully-charge the battery, using
the charger and cradle, in a
safe area.
• The battery pack [a] (part
number: IO620IS – Battery)
will be partly-charged, it is
recommended to fully
charge the battery pack
before using the instrument:
• Connect the charger [b]
(part number:
IO620IS-Charger) to a
power supply.
• Connect the charger to the cradle [c] (part number:
IO620IS-Cradle).
• Correctly insert the battery into the cradle (making sure the
battery pack label faces upwards).
• The battery charger LED [d] indicates the different charge
states. When the LED shows green the battery pack is
fully-charged and ready to use. The battery pack takes
approximately 8 hours to fully charge.
