1. Safety instructions
On the device TRANS CAL model 7281 and in this manual the following symbols warn about risks:
1.1. Symbols in this manual
1.1.1. Signal words
The following signal words are used in the operating manual according to the specied hazard
classication.
DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazard with a high level of risk which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazard with a low level or risk which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
NOTICE
Property damage to the equipment or the surroundings will result if the hazard is not avoided.
Note: It is important to heed these safety notices in order to ensure correct handling of the
TRANS CAL model 7281.
IMPORTANT: Follow the information given in the operating manual.
1.1.2. Pictograms
Danger of electric shock!
Observe the safety notices for protecting the instrument.

1.2. Symbols on the device
Read the text on the label.
In the battery compartment is a sliding switch. It is vital to set this switch correctly to
rechargeable or non-rechargeable battery operation.
Before switching on, make sure that the rechargeable/non-rechargeable batteries are inserted
correctly and that the sliding switch in the battery compartment is set to the correct position, to
avoid damage to the instrument.

2. Introduction
IMPORTANT: Read the operating manual carefully before using the equipment, and keep for future
reference.
2.1. Intended use
The TRANS CAL model 7281 can be used wherever there is a need to perform high-precision, on-site
calibrations of sensing components used in equipment such as presses, torque tools or pressure-
regulating systems.
An optional factory calibration certicate or German-accredited DKD/DAkkS calibration certicate
can be provided when the TRANS CAL model 7281 needs to be used as a reference. This provides
a quick and cost-effective way of assessing a system with traceable documentation of measurement
results.
If a reference measurement cannot be made because the sensor location is difcult to access, it is
still possible to test the zero point, the input, output and isolation resistance as well as the calibrating
offset of the tted sensor. It is also possible to check the display device by measuring the excitation
voltage and simulating the characteristic values (mV/V or V) of the sensor used.
The TRANS CAL model 7281 is used in metrology institutes, calibration laboratories and in industry in
the elds of quality assurance, facility commissioning and system monitoring.
Areas of use:
• Checking all kinds of presses
• Reference measurement in assembly lines
• Test of robotic pressing forces
• Calibrating test equipment
• Calibrating high-precision instrumentation
The TRANS CAL model 7281 can be tted with standard or rechargeable batteries for
portable use or can run from an external power supply. Combined with a reference sensor the
TRANS CAL model 7281 provides a high-precision reference measurement chain e.g. for force
measurements, but is also ideal for service engineers as a tool for locating faults in device and sensor
hardware.
The choice of sensors includes strain gauge, normalized signal ± 5 V / ± 10 V and potentiometric
sensors. The LCD graphics display shows the live measurement value and the corresponding bar
indicator. It also supports display functions such as data-logger, tared value in % and upper/lower limit
for the comparator with simultaneous indicator (< = >) of the evaluation result.
For routine testing and also fault-locating tasks, the tester makes it really simple to measure isolation
resistances and input/output resistances. The device test function is a quick and easy way to verify
that the display device complies with the characteristic value, offering strain-gage simulation of up to
± 50 mV/V or output of a normalized signal of up to 10 V. German-accredited DKD/DAkkS calibration
certicates or factory calibration certicates are optionally available. The DigiCal conguration and
data-acquisition software provides useful display and reporting functions.
The TRANS CAL model 7281 is not a substitute for a safety device; for instance it cannot be used as
an emergency stop device in a press for when the pressure exceeds a set limit.

2.3. Environmental conditions
2.3.1. Storage conditions
The following requirements must be met when storing the TRANS CAL model 7281:
• Store at a temperature between -20 to +60 °C
• The unit must be packed in clean packaging
• Store in a dry environment
• No condensation
2.3.2. Conditions of use
NOTICE
The rated temperature range for the TRANS CAL model 7281 is 0 °C to 40 °C.
Do not switch on the instrument if it is outside this temperature range as this may
damage the instrument. Use the instrument only in an environment that lies within
the specied temperature range.
Do not switch on the instrument if there are signs of moisture or condensation as
this may damage the instrument. If necessary, let the instrument dry off in a suitable
place and make sure that the instrument has no traces of moisture inside or on the
case before switching it on.
