Source Pressure Mode
The Calibrator can be used to monitor the pressure
supplied by a pump or other sources, and will display the
pressure in the SOURCE field. Figure 18 shows how to
connect a pump to a Fluke pressure module which makes
it a calibrated source.
Attach the appropriate pressure module for the process
pressure to be tested.
Proceed as follows to source pressure:
WWarning
• To avoid a violent release of pressure in a
pressurized system, shut off the valve and
slowly bleed off the pressure before attaching
the pressure module to the pressure line.
• Use only Fluke 700PEx – series pressure
modules.
WCaution
• To avoid mechanically damaging the pressure
module, never apply more than 10 ft.-lb. (13.5
Nm) of torque between the pressure module
fittings, or between the fittings and the body
of the module. Always apply appropriate
torque between the pressure module fitting
and connecting fittings or adapters.
• To avoid damaging the pressure module from
overpressure, never apply pressure above the
rated maximum printed on the pressure
module.
• To avoid damaging the pressure module from
corrosion, use it only with specified materials.
Refer to the printing on the pressure module
or the pressure module instruction sheet for
the acceptable material compatibility.
