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. The “Loop Power” icon 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.
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.
In addition to mA, the current can be displayed in two
alternative modes:
• Percent Mode- The current is displayed as a
percentage based on a 4-20 mA scale.
• Percent Error Mode- Transmitter current output error
is displayed. Error is calculated based on a
configurable zero and span pressure and a 4-20 mA
scale.
1. Measure loop current in the mA measurement display.
2. Press
O OFF to deactivate the 24 V dc supply when
you are done sourcing loop voltage.
Percent Error Setup
Press and hold a. After 3 seconds the set icon and 0%
appears on the lower display. Use Wand
