4-20 mA Clamp Performance Test
Do the performance test periodically and after calibration.
The performance test requires a calibrator with a current loop from the AUX terminal to the LO terminal. See Table 2.
To short the two terminals, use a conductor with 2 banana jacks at both ends. To ensure the clamp closes properly,
the diameter of the conductor should be no more than 4 mm. The Meter must be factory-calibrated to calibrate the
clamp.
To make the calibration adjustment:
1.
Make sure you have the necessary equipment, see Table 2.
2.
Allow the Meter and the 4-20 mA clamp to stabilize to room temperature.
3.
Connect the 4-20 mA clamp to a calibrated Meter.
4.
Use 1 loop insulated copper wire to short circuit the calibrator current output AUX and LO terminals, see
Figure 8.
5.
Clamp the 4-20 mA current clamp around the insulated copper wire. Current flow should be in the direction of the
arrow on the current clamp.
6.
For each value in Table 4.
a.
Zero the Meter.
b.
Apply the Calibrator Output value to the Meter.
c.
Wait 4 seconds for the signal to stabilize.
d.
Record the reading.
