Figure 10. Display Configuration Menu
hbb011.eps
The first parameter is Mode. Since voltage, current, and switch test modes all use the same jacks, two of these functions cannot be used at the same time. What can be selected depends on what is already selected in another display.
Push the NEXT softkey to change the second parameter. Pressure can be read in 14 different engineering units. Only Pressure mode has a second parameter.
These modes are available with a single display:
• P[1] = Pressure internal sensor
- [EXT] = Pressure with external pressure module
- P[1] ST = Switch Test with internal sensor
- [EXT] ST = Switch Test with external pressure module
Note
mA functions are only available on the lower section of the display.
• mA Measure = Milliamps measure.
- mA Source = Milliamps source.
• SIM-2W = Milliamps simulate using an external supply from the UUT.
• VOLTS = Voltage Measure.
- mA MEAS/24v
Table 2 shows which functions are available concurrently.
An X in a column indicates that the mode in the active display is not available for selection if the mode in that row is in use in a different display.
Use the MORE option on the main menu to access other menu functions.

Zero Function
When is pushed, the Product zeros its active display if a pressure mode is selected, and the pressure is within the zero limit. The zero limits are within 10 % of the full-scale range of the selected sensor. If the display shows “OL,” the zero function will not operate. is only used for pressure.
Internal Sensor and Pressure Module (non-absolute)
When a sensor or pressure module is selected on the active display and ZERO is pushed, the Product subtracts the current reading from the output. The zero limits are within 10 % of the full-scale range of the selected sensor. If the display shows “OL,” the zero function will not operate.
Absolute Pressure
When an absolute pressure range is selected on the active display and ZERO is pushed, the Product prompts you to enter the barometric reference pressure. Record the barometric reference pressure with the arrow buttons. While you do this procedure, make sure the sensor port is open (vented) to the atmosphere. See Figure 11.

hbb012.eps
Other Menu Controlled Functions
There are many submenus below the main menu. These can be accessed through the MORE option of the main menu. A submenu contains three options. The first option is unique to the function. The second and third options are always the same. The NEXT option leads to the subsequent menu. The DONE option goes home. For the last menu, the NEXT option goes home. See Figure 7 for the menu structure.
In this manual, if a submenu has subsequent menus below it, it is referred to as {function} main menu. As an example, the display contrast submenu will be called the Contrast main menu.
Contrast Main Menu
To set the contrast, go through the menu list until CONTRAST is shown. Push the CONTRAST softkey to access the Contrast Adjustment menu.
Push the up arrow or down arrow softkey to change the display to the necessary contrast level. When completed, push the CONTRAST DONE softkey to go home. See Figure 12.

Damping
Damping can be turned ON or OFF with the DAMP menu selection. Go through the menu list until DAMP is shown. Select ON or OFF. When damping is ON, the Product shows a running average indication of ten measurements. The Product makes approximately three readings per second.
HART Resistor
An internal 250 Ω HART resistor can be enabled when the Product is used in the mA Measure-24V mode. This lets a HART communicator be connected across the mA terminals and makes it unnecessary to add an external resistor.
Note
When the HART resistor is on, the maximum load-driving capacity is 750 .
Go through the menu list until HART is shown. Use the arrow softkeys to select ON or OFF.
Pump Limits
To prevent overpressure of sensitive devices the maximum pressure (pump limit) can be set. Go through the menu list until PUMP is shown. When in this mode, use SELECT and the arrow buttons to change the pump limit. Push the DONE SET softkey to save the selection and go to the main menu. This limit can be set to 10 % above full scale.
Initial Setup and Basic Pressure Generation
The Product has a special low-volume calibration hose for faster pressure generation and quick pressure stabilization. "Quick-fit" hose connectors and different adapters are included. It is recommended that this hose is used to get the best results. After the fittings are installed and the Product is connected to the UUT (unit under test), the Product is ready for use.
To configure the Product for the appropriate application:
- Set the pressure/vacuum selection knob to the necessary function (+ for pressure and - for vacuum).
- Close the vent knob.
- Close the supply metering valve.
- Push and hold and see the pressure rise (or vacuum generation) until you reach the necessary pressure.
- Release PUMP when the necessary pressure is reached.
Note
The motor speed starts slow while the pressure is low <15 psi (1 bar) for better control at low pressures.
- The fine pressure adjustment lets you set the correct pressure.
- To decrease or bleed off all pressure, slowly turn the vent knob counter clockwise to the open position. When the valve is slowly opened, there is a slow decrease of pressure. Open the valve more to vent the pressure.
Pressure Measurement
To measure pressure:
- Connect the Product with the correct adapter.
- Select the pressure parameter for the display used.
- The Product has an internal sensor and optional external sensors are available. Select a sensor that is correct for the pressure range and accuracy.
⚠ Warning
To prevent injury, only assemble and operate high-pressure systems if you know the correct safety procedures. High-pressure liquids and gases are hazardous and the energy from them can be released without warning.
For a better understanding with respect to overpressure and burst pressure, follow the specifications and these operation instructions. See the "Specifications" section. The Product display will show "OL" when an inappropriate pressure is applied. When "OL" is shown on a pressure display, immediately decrease the pressure to prevent damage or possible physical injury. "OL" is shown if the pressure exceeds the nominal range by 110 %. Push ZERO to zero the pressure sensor after it is vented to atmospheric pressure.
Media Compatibility
The Product is only to be used with clean, dry gases.
External Modules
The Product has a digital interface to support the Fluke 700P series of pressure modules. These modules are available for different ranges that include gauge, vacuum, differential, and absolute pressure. The modules work in conjunction with the Product. Connect them to the interface and select [EXT] (external sensor). Since the interface between the Product and the module is digital, the accuracy and display resolution depends on the module. See Figure 17.

hbb007.eps
Measure and Source Current (4... 20 mA)
To measure and source current:
- To measure current, use the input terminals on the front of the Product. Select the mA function on the lower display. Current is measured in mA and a percentage of the measuring range. The measuring range on the Product is set to 0 % at 4 mA and 100 % at 20 mA. See Figure 18 for connections.
Example:
If the current measured is shown as 75 %, then the value is 16 mA.
Note
The display shows "OL" when the measured current exceeds the nominal range of current measurement (24 mA).
- The same connections are used for the current source. Select mA-Source or mA Sim-2W from the configuration display.
- This selection can only be made in the lower display. Also, in source mode, the Product generates 0... 24 mA that uses its own internal 24 V supply, whereas in simulation mode the Product acts as a 2-wire transmitter and an external 24 V supply is necessary.
- Push the arrow key to start the output mode and then use the arrow keys to adjust the mA output. The function keys can also be used to control the output in 25 % steps (4, 8, 12, 16, 20 mA) or 0 % (4 mA) and 100 % (20 mA). See Figure 18.
- While in the mA output mode, if the loop is broken or the resistance burden is exceeded, the Product will flash "OL".

Pressure Switch Test
To do a pressure switch test:
- Set the upper display to [P1] ST, all other displays are switched off.
Note
The pressure switch test can be done with these functions: [P1] ST or EXT ST.
- Connect the Product to the pressure switch with the switch terminals. The polarity of the terminals is not important. See Figure 20.

Figure 20. Switch Test Connections
hbb020.eps
- Connect the Output of the Product to the pressure switch.
- Open the vent button on the pump and zero the Product.
- Close the vent after you reset the Product.
The top of the display shows "CLOSE". See Figure 22.

Figure 21. Switch Test Screen
hbb021.eps
- Apply pressure with the pump slowly until the switch opens.
Note
In the switch test mode, the display-update rate is increased to help capture changes to pressure inputs. Even with this enhanced sample rate, the UUT should be charged slowly with pressure to ensure accurate readings.
- After the switch is open, "OPEN" will be shown. Bleed the pump slowly until the pressure switch closes. See Figure 22.
![[P1] ST OPEN Psi 30.00 CONFIG LOWER MORE](/content/2026/05/897383/images/a494b06fed67a2d4da6a488c1ecbe0bf1551d07a161fc7ce6da7834c9c399f59.jpg)

- The top display now shows "SW OPENED AT" and gives you the pressure at which the switch opened. See Figure 23.

Figure 23. Opened Switch Reading
hbb023.eps
- Select the "NEXT" option to show the pressure at which the switch closed and the deadband. See Figure 24.


hbb024.eps
Figure 24. Switch Test and Deadband Results
- Select the "NEW TEST" option to clear the data and do another test.
- Select the "DONE" option to complete the test and go to the standard pressure setting.
Example:
[P1] ST will return to [P1].
This example uses a normally closed switch. The basic procedure is effectively the same for a normally open switch. The display reads "OPEN" instead of "CLOSE".
Calibrate Transmitters
Use the mA Measurement Function
The mA function lets you read the 4... 20 mA output from the UUT. This can be done in two ways:
- Passively – the UUT generates 4... 20 mA directly. This can be read on the Product.
- Actively – the Product supplies a loop power of 24 V dc to the UUT to power the device while it reads the 4... 20 mA signal. See Figure 25.

%-Error Function
The Product has a special function which can calculate the error in the pressure value from the mA value as a percentage of the 4 ... 20 mA loop span. The %-Error mode uses all three screens and has a special menu structure. It shows pressure, mA and %-Error simultaneously. See Figure 28.

Figure 28. Connections with a Pressure Transmitter with % Error Function
hbb027.eps
Example:
If a pressure transmitter under test has a full-scale range of 2 bar and gives a 4 ... 20 mA output signal, you can program in a 0 ... 2 bar pressure span into the Product. The Product will then calculate and show the deviation or %-Error value from the 4 ... 20 mA output. This makes manual calculations unnecessary.

Sending this command sets the lockout state, when the unit is in REMOTE or goes to remote, it stops use of the keypad completely. The lockout state can only be cleared by sending the LOCAL command.
LO\_ERR
Sets the 0 % point for the percent error mode calculation in the current engineering units.
For example:
To set the 0 % point to 20 psi, send LO_ERR 20.
LO\_ERR?
Shows the 0 % point for the percent error mode calculation.
For example:
If the 0 % point is set to 20 psi, LO_ERR? shows 2.000000E+01, PSI.
MOTOR\_ON
Turns on the motor.
MOTOR\_OFF
Turns off the motor.
MOTOR?
Shows the state of the motor.
For example:
If the motor was on, MOTOR? shows ON.
OUT
This command also switches the Product into mA output mode. A number and a unit must be entered after the command.
For example:
OUT 5 MA sets the current output at 5 mA.
OUT?
Shows the output of the Product.
Using the above example, OUT? shows: 5.000000E-03, A.
PRES\_UNIT
Used to set the pressure unit for the indicated display.
For example:
To set the pressure unit to psi on the lower display, send PRES_UNIT LOWER, PSI.
PRES\_UNIT?
Shows the pressure unit used when measuring pressure for each of the three displays.
PUMP\_LIMIT
Sets the approximate pressure in psi at which the pump will turn off.
For example:
PUMP_LIMIT 50 sets the approximate value that the pump will shut off at to 50 psi.
PUMP\_LIMIT?
Shows the pump limit. Using the above example, PUMP_LIMIT? Shows:
50.000
REMOTE
Puts the Product into remote mode. From the remote mode the user can still use the keypad to get back to local mode unless the command LOCKOUT was entered before REMOTE. Then the keypad is completely locked out, and the user has to send the LOCAL command to go to local operation.
SIM
Sets the output for current simulation. This command also switches the Product into mA simulation mode. A number and a unit must be entered after the command.
For example:
SIM 5 MA sets the current simulation at 5 mA
SIM?
Shows the output of the current simulation. With the example above, the output would be: 5.000000E-03, A
ST\_START
Starts a switch test.
ST\_CLOSE?
Shows the pressure that the switch closed at in the current pressure units.
ST\_OPEN?
Shows the pressure that the switch opened at in the current pressure units.
ST\_DEAD?
Shows deadband of the switch in the current pressure units.
VAL?
Shows the value of measurement on a maximum of three displays. For example, if the upper display shows pressure at 0.00 bar on P1, the middle display shows pressure at 0 psi on P1, and the lower display shows 0 mA, then VAL? will return:
0.000000E+00, BAR, 0.000000E+00, PSI, 0.000000E+00, A
ZERO\_MEAS
Zeroes the attached pressure module. Enter the zeroing value in PSI after the command when zeroing an absolute pressure module.
ZERO\_MEAS?
Shows the zero offset or the reference value for absolute pressure modules.
