Transmitter Mode You can set up the calibrator so that a varying input (MEASURE) controls the output (SOURCE), like a transmitter. This is called "Transmitter mode." In Transmitter mode, the calibrator can be temporarily used as a substitute for a defective or suspect transmitter. wWarning Do not use Transmitter mode in any environment that requires intrinsic safe equipment and practices. Caution Transmitter mode is for diagnostic purposes only. Use a fresh battery. Do not use the calibrator in place of a transmitter for extended periods. Documenting Process Calibrator Transmitter Mode To set up the calibrator to emulate a transmitter, proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect the control bus wires from the transmitter output (loop current or dc V control signal). 2. Connect test leads from the appropriate calibrator SOURCE jacks to the control wires in place of the transmitter. 3. Disconnect the process input (e.g., thermocouple) from the transmitter. 4. Connect the process input to the appropriate calibrator MEASURE jacks or input connector. 5. If necessary, press M for MEASURE mode. 6. Press the appropriate function key for the process input. 79
