6.1.2.4 HART module
The HART module allows communication with HART instruments (usually transmitters) permitting
to acquire digital measurements, instrument data and modifying settings. It can be inserted in the
front panel in place of OUT A or OUT B module.
It is a fully galvanically isolated board (like IN and OUT modules) from internal electronics of the
Pascal.
The module allow the 24V to supply directly the output loop for the transmitter.
Further, it can supply a 250Ω load resistance electronically switchable necessary to HART
communication, permitting to avoid the use of an external one.
The following figure shows the pin connections in HART module:

6.2 Pressure
6.2.1 Pneumatic circuit
Pascal 100 or Pascal 100/IS can be equipped with four internal and two external pressure sensors.
The internal sensors work only with clean dry gas (like dry air) whereas the external sensors can
work with gas or liquid. Gas is related to pneumatic circuit and liquid to hydraulic circuits.
Pascal 100 or Pascal 100/IS has a pneumatic circuit that gives possibility to execute a large
number of calibration in an easy way for connecting the device under test. An integrated pump and
a fine adjustment allow to generate the required pressure. The generated pressure, according to
the model, can be distributed in parallel to all sensors. The sensors whose ranges are much lower
than the maximum pressure generated in the pneumatic circuit are protected from overpressure by
a mechanical valve that closes the circuit when the pressure gets over its range.
Switching the pressure-vacuum selector in the vacuum position is possible to generate vacuum
(pressure under the barometric)
For example, if we want to measure a signal from pneumatic instrument 3 - 15 PSI or to measure
high gas pressure over 21 bar and we use an internal sensor directly connected to the process, we
must pay attention not to damage it by applying pressure over its range.

6.3 Electrical
The Pascal 100 or Pascal 100/IS is a multifunction calibrator.
The electrical modules can be maximum four, two of them are input modules (IN A – IN B), and the
other two are output modules (OUT A – OUT B).
6.3.1 Electrical measurements
The instrument is able to measure voltage, current, resistance and frequency. To optimise the
resolution and get better measurement results, there are three ranges for voltage measurement,
two for resistance measurements, one range for current and three ranges for frequency.

6.3.2 Thermocouple measurements
The electrical module measures signals from the thermocouple and shows it in different
engineering units (°C, °F, K).
Thermocouple types, measuring range, linearity error and related resolutions are given in the
following table:
Table 2 – Thermocouple measurements table
It is possible to perform the measurement in two different ways: with internal reference (cold
junction), with external reference cold junction by entering the reference value through the
keyboard. When internal reference cold junction is selected, the ambient temperature is measured
through the thermocouple pins using a special thermo resistance. This temperature value is used
for compensation. The Standard connector Mignon for thermocouple is shown in Figure 1. The
thermoresistance for compensation of the reference cold junction is integrated in the same
connector.

6.3.3 Thermoresistance measurements
The electrical module measures signals from thermoresistance and shows it in different
engineering units (°C, °F, K).
Thermoresistance types, measuring range and related resolutions are given in the following table:
Table 3 - Thermoresistance measurements table
It is possible to connect the thermoresistance according to the type of measurement: 2 wires, 3
wires and 4 wires. The two wires measurement is performed without any compensation of the
connecting cables resistances; in this case the connection is among the two central (COM - Ω)
pins. In the case of three wires connection the pin identified with the writing 3W must also be used.
While for the four wires measurement, the most accurate of the above, is performed by using all
four pins.

6.3.4 Generation of electrical parameters
The output module (OUT) allows to generate voltage, current, resistance and frequency.
For the voltage there are three different ranges with different resolutions. Resistance has two
ranges while current and frequency have only one range. Ranges and resolutions are given in the
following table:
Table 4 – Range of output signals
6.3.5 Thermocouple simulation
Through the output module it is possible to simulate thermocouples. This function can be used to
test and calibrate: thermocouple transmitters, analog or digital indicator. A thermoresistance Pt100,
inserted in isothermal contact with the connectors, measures the ambient temperature for the cold
junction compensation. It is possible to disable the automatic cold junction compensation and set
out the reference temperature by the keyboard.
The instrument can simulate thermocouple types indicated in the following table:
