Pressure sensor specifications are as listed under Measure pressure via a 1/8-inch NPT pressure fitting “Pressure Sensor Input”. and an internal pressure sensor or via a Fluke 700 Series Pressure Module The Calibrator measures pressure sensor inputs in the Source pressure units shown in Table 1.
718 Series Users Manual “How to Contact Fluke.” To order replacement parts or Safety Information spares, see “Parts and Accessories.” Use the Calibrator only as specified in this Users Manual, otherwise the protection provided by the Calibrator may be Table 1. Input Units impaired.
Pressure Calibrator Safety Information Table 2. Safety Information XW Warning To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury: Never apply more than 30 V between the mA terminals, or between either of the mA terminals and earth ground. Do not use the Calibrator to make measurements in a CAT II, CAT III, or a CAT IV environment. CAT I equipment is designed to protect against transient from high-voltage, low-energy sources, such as electronic circuits or a copy machine Remove the test leads from the Calibrator before you open the battery door.

718 Series Users Manual Table 2. Safety Information (cont.) XW Warning To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator appears. To avoid a violent release of pressure in a pressurized system, shut off the valve and slowly bleed off the pressure before you attach or detach the internal pressure sensor or pressure module fitting to the pressure line.

All units are available when the pressure sensor input is used. For higher pressure module inputs, inappropriate (out-of-range) units are not available. Press on while pressing to source loop voltage.
718 Series Users Manual Switch Test Press to enter pressure switch test mode. The Calibrator will display CLOSE instead of a mA To perform a switch test, do the following: measurement. Note Apply pressure with the pump slowly until the switch opens.
Pressure Calibrator Zeroing with Absolute Pressure Modules Zeroing with Absolute Pressure Modules For zeroing, adjust the Calibrator to read a known pressure. This can be barometric pressure, if it is accurately known, for all but the 700PA3 module. An accurate pressure standard can also apply a pressure within range for any Absolute Pressure Module.
Increase pressure on the inward stroke. Pump In vacuum mode, decrease pressure on The internal pump can also be used with certain Fluke 700 the outward stroke. Series Pressure Modules. In this case, pressure measured by the Pressure Module is displayed by the Calibrator.
