4. Power-on/off of Instrument
4.1. Power on/off
Press the power key to turn on the power supply of the Instrument. Then repress it to hold it in one second and the power
will be off. When the power is turned on, the Instrument starts to
make self-diagnosis internally and the full screen is in display. After this, appropriate operation should be carried out.
Note
To ensure correct operation of the Instrument, it is recommended to turn off the power pausing 5 seconds and then restart
the Instrument.
4.2. Automatic Power-off
The factory default setting is that the Instrument will cut off the power automatically if no operation applied to
the Instrument within 15 minutes. Users can decide whether they want to use this function or not.
5. Output from Instrument
5.1.
The Instrument produces the DC current from its appropriate output terminal (OUTPUT) set by the user or simulating a
transmitter.
Caution!
Do not apply voltage to the output terminal during the operation. If any improper voltage is applied to the output terminal,
it will cause damage to the internal circuit.

5.2. Current Output
• Insert one end of the test leads to the + mA – output jack ( OUTPUT ) of the Instrument and connect the other end
with the input of the user’s Instrument
• Press the key�OUTPUT/IN�, and the OUTPUT appears in the display. It denotes that the Instrument is in an output
state
• Press the key�mA%/V�, to select the output to be set in ‘mA’or %, and then the unit mA or mA% appears, in which
0% denotes 4mA; 100% denotes 20mA
• Press the key <LEFT>/<RIGHT> to select the set digits of the output
• Press the key <UP>/<DOWN> to change the value of the set digits. The value can do carry or number decrement
automatically. Hold the pressed key in one second and the numerical value will keep varying.
5.3. 25% Step Current Output

20mA
• Repress the key �25%/RAMP� so as to exit the step current output
5.4. Current Output Set for Zero Point & Full Scale
• Insert one end of the test leads to the + mA – output jack ( OUTPUT ) of the Instrument and connect the other end
with the input of the user’s Instrument
• When the �OUTPUT/IN �key is pressed, the OUTPUT appears in the LCD, it denotes the Instrument is in an output
state
• Press the key �100%/START�and the symbols ’ ’ �<UP>�‘0’�‘FS’ will appear in the display
• Press the key <UP> to be set to 100% and the current output will be 20mA. Press the key <DOWN> to be set to
0% and the current output will be 4mA
• Repress the key�100%/START�so as to exit the step current output
5.5. Auto-ramp Output
• Insert one end of the test leads to the + mA – output jack ( OUTPUT ) of the Instrument and connect the other end
with the input of the user’s Instrument

• When the key �OUTPUT/IN �is pressed, the OUTPUT appears in the LCD, it denotes the Instrument is in an output
state
• When the key �STEP/AUTO �is pressed, the symbols ’OUTPUT’, ’OFF’, ’^S’ appear in the LCD. If so, it denotes
that the Instrument is getting into the mode of RAMP
• Repress the key �25%/RAMP�again so as to change the type of the output ramp, which finds itself in the lower left
of the LCD. The type appears with ’^S’,’^F’ in proper order. These symbols denote a low speed ramp and a high
speed ramp respectively. The former is set to a cycle up to 60S and the latter is up to 30S, while the auto-stair step
ramp pauses 5 seconds at each step
• Press the key�100%/START�to start the output of the set waveform when the symbol ‘ON’ appears. Now repress
the key�100%/START�again and the output will pause on a current value and the symbol ‘OFF’ will appear. Then
press the same key again and the output will continue to do the set steps from the pause value. When the symbol
‘OFF’ appears, press any one of the keys�LEFT�,�RIGHT�,�UP�,�DOWN� so as to bring the output back to
the 0%. Then the value of 4mA appears in the display.
5.6. Simulating Transmitter Output (XMT)
• Insert one end of the test lead to the ‘XMT’ output jack of the Instrument and connect the other end with the input
terminal of the user’s device
• The key-operation is the same as that of the current output.
Note
• Range of power supply: 5 to 25VDC.
• Usage: during the operation of the current output, use the external 24VDC power supply in a mode of connecting a
transmitter, thus being able to prolong the working life of the battery.
6. Instrument Measurement
6.1.
Warning
During the operation, never apply more than 30V between any two terminals, or between any terminal and earth ground.
Any voltage more than 30V will not only do damage to the Instrument, but also lead to possible personal injury.
Caution!
• During the operation, do not apply a voltage or current exceeding the measuring range to the input terminal, which
will cause possible damage to the Instrument.
• When connecting to the Instrument, the power supply of the device under test should be cut off. Otherwise, any
connection with a device without cutting off its power supply will cause possible damage to the Instrument.
