Volt/mA Calibrator

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The Fluke 715 Volt/mA Calibrator is a source and measurement

tool for 0 to 24 mA current loop testing and dc voltage from 0 to

20/25 V. The calibrator does not source and measure

simultaneously.

Your calibrator is supplied with a holster, a set of test leads, an

installed 9 V alkaline battery, and this instruction sheet.

Safety Information

Use the calibrator only as specified in this sheet, otherwise the

protection provided by the calibrator may be impaired.

A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s)

to the user; a Caution identifies conditions and actions that may

damage the calibrator or the equipment under test.

WWarning

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:

•Never apply more than 30 V between any two

jacks (terminals), or between any jack and earth

ground.

•Make sure the battery door is closed and

latched before you operate the calibrator.

•Remove test leads from the calibrator before

you open the battery door.

•Do not operate calibrator if it is damaged.

•Do not operate the calibrator around explosive

gas, vapor, or dust.

•When servicing the calibrator, use only

specified replacement parts.

Caution

Use the proper jacks, function, and range for your

measurement or output application.

Turning the Calibrator On

Press the green Opushbutton to turn the calibrator on and off.

For longest battery life:

•For mA output, use current simulate mode instead of source

mode when an external 24 to 30 V loop power supply is

available. (See Simulating a Transmitter.)

•Turn off the calibrator when not in use.

Auto Shut-Off (Power Saver) Feature

The Calibrator automatically turns off after 30 minutes of

inactivity. To reduce this time or disable this feature:

715 English Instruction Sheet

Page 4

1. With the Calibrator OFF, press the Okey. P.S.xx is

displayed, where xx is the turn-off time in minutes. OFF

means the power saver is disabled.

2. Press ]and/or }to increase or decrease the turn-

off time in minutes.

3. To disable, press }until the display shows OFF.

HART TM Resistor Mode

The calibrator has a user selectable 250 ohm HARTTM resistor to

facilitate use with HARTTM communication devices. The resistor

can be switched in/out at any time by simultaneously pressing

the Vand Akeys. Use a HARTTM communicator when

measuring dc mA with loop power or sourcing mA.

Span Check Feature

The calibrator allows the users to store 0% and 100% setpoints

for each output function. Once setpoints are stored, the span

check feature allows the user to quickly toggle back and forth

from 0% to 100% or to step in 25% increments.

Automatic step and ramp modes can be enabled while in the

span check mode by simultaneously pressing the ]}keys.

First select the desired output mode (V,mV or mA) then preceed

to store the setpoints:

1. Storing 0% and 100% Setpoints

2. Using the ]}controls set the output to the desired

output value for 0%.

3. Press the ]}scroll keys simultaneously to store

the 0% value.

4. Now using the ]}controls set the output to the

desired output value for 100%

5. Again, press the ]}scroll keys simultaneously to

store the 100% value.

Using the Current Output Modes

The calibrator provides current output in mA or percent display.

Percent is -25.00 to 125.00%, where 0% is 4 mA, and 100% is 20

mA.

In source mode, the calibrator supplies the current. In simulate

mode, the calibrator simulates a two-wire transmitter in an

externally-powered current loop.

Sourcing mA

Use source mode whenever you need to supply current into a

passive circuit such as a current loop with no loop supply. Insert

the test leads into the OUTPUT +and −mA jacks as shown

below.

Note

A path must exist for current to flow between the

OUTPUT +and −mA jacks, otherwise the display will

indicate an overload (OL) when you set an output value.

Maintenance

For maintenance procedures not described in this sheet, contact

a Fluke Service Center.

In Case of Difficulty

•Check the battery and test leads. Replace as necessary.

•Review this sheet to make sure you are using the correct

jacks and pushbuttons.

If the calibrator needs repair, contact a Fluke Service Center. If

the calibrator is under warranty, see the warranty statement
