Loop Calibrator
707
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The Fluke 707 Loop Calibrator (hereafter, the Calibrator) is a
compact sourcing and measuring tool. The Calibrator tests current
loops of 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA and measures dc voltage to 28 V. It
comes with a set of alligator-clip test leads, a 9 V alkaline battery,
and this
Instruction Sheet.
The Calibrator is a IEC 61010, CAT I 30 V, Pollution Degree 2
instrument. A CAT I instrument is designed to protect against
transients from high-voltage, low-energy sources, like electronic
circuits or a copy machine, for example.

Battery Saver
The Calibrator automatically turns off after 30 minutes of inactivity.
To reduce this time or disable this feature:
1.
With the Calibrator
OFF,
press
D.
PSXX
is displayed, where
XX
is the turn-off time in minutes.
OFF
means the power saver is disabled.
2.
3.
Turn
m
to decrease or increase the turn-off time.
To disable, turn
m
until the display shows
OFF.
The Calibrator resumes normal operation after 2 seconds.

Warnings and Cautions
To avoid electric shock, injury, or damage to the
Calibrator:
•
Use the Calibrator only as described in this
Instruction Sheet or the protection provided by the
Calibrator may be impaired.
•
Do not use the Calibrator around explosive gas,
vapor, or dust.
•
Inspect the Calibrator before use. Do not use it if
appears damaged.
•
Check the test leads for continuity, damaged
insulation, or exposed metal. Replace damaged
test leads.
•
Never apply more than 30 V between any two
terminals, or between any terminal and earth
ground.
•
Use the proper terminals, mode, and range for your
measuring or sourcing application.
•
To prevent damage to the unit under test, put the
Calibrator in the correct mode before connecting
the test leads.
•
When making connections, connect the COM test
lead before the live lead; when disconnecting,
disconnect the live lead before the COM lead.
•
Never use the Calibrator with the case open.
•
Make sure the battery door is closed before you
use the Calibrator.
•
Replace the battery as soon as the
M
(low battery)
symbol appears to avoid false readings that can
lead to electric shock.
•
Remove test leads from the Calibrator before
opening the case or battery door.

Press again for 100 % of selected current span.
Using the mA Sourcing (Output) Modes
The Calibrator outputs current for calibrating and testing 0 to 20 mA
and 4 to 20 mA current loops and instruments.
In
SOURCE
mode, the Calibrator supplies the current.
In
SIMULATE
mode, the Calibrator simulates a 2-wire transmitter in
an externally-powered current loop.
Changing the mA Output Span
The Calibrator has two mA output spans:
•
•
4 mA to 20 mA (0 % to 100 %) [default]
0 mA to 20 mA (0 % to 100 %) [optional]
To change the output span, turn the Calibrator off. Press
A
+
D
simultaneously. The selected setting is saved until it is changed
again.
Sourcing mA
Use
SOURCE
mode to supply current to a passive circuit.
A path must exist for current to flow between the
+
and
COM
terminals. Otherwise the display indicates an overload (OL) when
you set an output value.
