Maintenance

• Return the loop calibrator to an authorised ATEX repair
centre for any repairs, it cannot be repaired on-site.

• To keep the loop calibrator accurate a calibration check
should be carried out once per year.

Cleaning

• Clean the loop calibrator leather case with a moist, lint­free cloth and weak detergent.

Battery Replacement

WARNING: ONLY REPLACE BATTERIES IN A SAFE AREA

Only use the battery type listed on page two.
Unscrew and remove the securing screw from the battery panel.
Replace the batteries, check the polarity of the batteries. Refit and
secure the battery panel.

Calibration Instructions

WARNING:

CALIBRATE UPS-III-IS LOOP CALIBRATORS IN A SAFE AREA.

General

The instrument is supplied by the manufacturer, complete
with calibration certificate(s). A calibration period of 12
months is recommended. The actual calibration interval
depends on instrument usage and the total measurement
uncertainty acceptable for the specified application.

The

UPS-III-IS

is a very precise measuring instrument and the test
equipment and conditions of test must be suitable for the type
of work. The calibration check and calibration adjustment
should be carried out in a controlled environment by a
calibration technician*.

The manufacturer offers a comprehensive and, if required,
UKAS accredited calibration service.

*

A calibration technician must have the necessary technical knowledge,
documentation, special test equipment and tools to carry out the calibration
work on this equipment.

Calibration Equipment

The following tables give the accuracy requirements for the
calibration equipment and the UPS-III-IS.
Calibration requires a stable temperature of 21° ±1°C (70° ±2°F).

Calibration Check

1.Connect the UPS-III-IS to the electrical calibrator. Switch on
the electrical calibrator and allow it to thermally stabilise.

2.Switch on the UPS-III-IS and allow the instrument to thermally
stabilise.

3.Set the UPS-III-IS to mA measure, adjust the electrical
calibrator to apply the first value in the table 3. Record the
reading of the UPS-III-IS.

4.Repeat step 3 for all the values in the table 3.

5.Compare the recorded values and the applied values if the
difference is greater than the permitted error, the instrument
requires a calibration adjustment.

6.Repeat this procedure for V measure (table 4) and mA source
(table 5).

Calibration Adjustment

1.Connect the UPS-III-IS to the electrical calibrator. Switch on
the electrical calibrator and allow it to thermally stabilise.

K034 1 Issu e No. 2 14

2.Switch on the UPS-III-IS and press , within two seconds to
select Calibration. Enter the access code [9410 factory setting]

and allow the instrument to thermally stabilise.

3.Select the parameter required for calibration. Use the
display menu to select the calibration values. After a
successful calibration enter the new calibration date.
