Maintenance 

  Caution 

To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or damage to the Calibrator: 

l

 

Do  not  service  this  product  other  than  as  described  in  this 

Instruction  Sheet  unless  you  are  a  qualified  technician  and  have 

the required equipment and service information. 

l

 

Remove any input signals prior to removing test leads and opening 

case.

 

l

 

When  servicing  the  Calibrator,  use  only  specified  replacement 

parts.

 

l

 

Do not allow water to get in the case.

 

 

In Case of Difficulty 

l

 Make  sure  you  are  using  the  Calibrator  as  described  in  this  Instruction 

Sheet. 

l

 Check the battery and test leads. Replace as needed. 

If  the  Calibrator  is  under  warranty,  refer  to  the  warranty  statement  for  warranty 

terms, conditions, and product return information. 

If the warranty has lapsed, the Calibrator will be repaired and returned for a fixed 

fee. 

 

Cleaning 

Periodically  wipe  the  case  with  a  damp  cloth  and  detergent;  do  not  use 

abrasives or solvents. 

 

Calibration 

Calibrate  the  Calibrator  once  a  year  to  ensure  that  it  performs  according  to  its 

specifications.

Measuring dc mA with LOOP POWER 

  Caution

 

To prevent damage to the unit under test, ensure that the   

Calibrator is in the correct mode before connecting the test leads. 

Loop  power  provide  +  24V  to  power  a  transmitter  and  to  read  loop  current 

simultaneously. 

To measure dc mA with LOOP POWER: 

1. Press                    to step to 

LOOP POWER

 mode. 

2. 

MEASURE mA

 and 

LOOP POWER

 are displayed. 

3. Touch test lead probes to the circuit across the load or power source as 

shown below. 

To exit 

LOOP POWER

, change measurement mode.
