The operations are simplified thanks to the touch screen: the display changes in a dynamic way
according to the user selections, following test by step the operator during the calibration process,
decreasing the learning time and the human errors.
The touch screen can be operated by nude or gloved hands: dirty parts can be easily removed with
a cloth or a sponge. The touch screen can be locked during the measurement process to avoid
unintentional pressing of keys.
The backlight illumination with LED guarantees a perfect view in case of low environmental
visibility. Five keys are present below the touch screen: turn on/off of the instrument, contrast
settings and backlight.

The electrical part of Pascal 100 or Pascal 100/IS consists from two until 4 electrical modules to be

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:

Figure 3 – HART module

6.1.2.4.1 HART wiring

Depending by several factors and combination that the user can found in a plant, there are many
wiring possibility depending by:

 Using module internal or external Power Supply.
 Using internal or external load resistance.
 Simultaneous analog connection of AO TRX to one Input module for mA reading

Please consider, if the user enable the internal load resistance, this will be connected between the
+HART and COM terminals.

6.1.2.5 Environmental parameters module (optional)

This module allows to measure: temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure. These
parameters represent the most important factors that affect the calibration results. This module is
connected to Pascal 100 or Pascal 100/IS with a multiple pin connector present in
Pascal 100 or Pascal 100/IS front panel. This module is plug & play and the relevant information
about the environmental parameters are displayed on the status bar at the top of the screen.
This information is automatically reported on the calibration report.

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.

There are three different pneumatic schemes available in a standard Pascal 100 or
Pascal 100/IS configuration:

■ This is an example of pneumatic circuit with two sensors in parallel to the pump. One of

them is protected by an overpressure valve, the other one is not protected because it has a
full-scale equal to the maximum pressure generated by the pump. See following:

Figure 10 – Circuit with two sensors in parallel

■ This is an example of pneumatic circuit with two sensors: one sensor connected in parallel

to the pump with over pressure protection, and one sensor directly connected for
measuring the external pressure signals without overpressure protection. See following:

■ This is an example of pneumatic circuit with four sensors: three of them are connected in

parallel to the pumps and one straight to external. Two of them are protected by
overpressure valves, the other one is not protected because it has its full-scale equal to the
maximum pressure generated by pump. See following:

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 optimize 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.
Ranges of measurement and resolutions are specified in 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 thermoresistance. 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.
