Sourcing Loop Voltage
The Calibrator can supply loop power at 24 V dc to a
current transmitter that is disconnected from the system.
Use the following procedure:
1. With power off, hold down
U
while pressing
O
on.
“Loop” appears in the display.
2. With the transmitter disconnected from normal loop
power, connect the Calibrator mA (+) and COM (-)
test leads in series with the instrument current loop as
shown in Figure 7. “Loop” disappears from the display
once the transmitter starts drawing current.
3. Measure loop current in the mA display.
4. Press
O off to deactivate the 24 V dc supply when
you are done sourcing loop voltage.
