Introduction
The Druck UPS-III Intrinsically Safe Loop Calibrator can supply
power (source mode) and produce readings (measure mode) to
perform field calibrations on 2-wire devices. The set-up menu
enables the user to “source” or “measure” in either voltage or
current and to perform continuity tests. These instructions detail
the requirements and operation of the UPS-III Intrinsically Safe
Loop Calibrator in a hazardous area. Read the whole publication
before starting.
Safety

3.2 Battery Replacement
Unscrew and remove the securing screw from the battery panel.
Replace the batteries, check the polarity of the batteries. Refit
and secure the battery panel.
Remove batteries from the loop calibrator immediately when
discharged and before storage.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations and
battery manufacturers' instructions.
When storing and transporting batteries make sure they cannot
be short circuited.
4. Calibration
The instrument is supplied by the manufacturer, complete with
calibration certificate(s).
A calibration period of 12 months is recommended. The actual
calibration interval depends on instrument usage and the total

measurement uncertainty acceptable for the specified
application.
The UPS-III is a very precise measuring instrument and the test
equipment and conditions of test must be suitable for the type of
work. The calibration check and calibration adjustment should be
carried out in a controlled environment by a calibration
technician*.
The manufacturer offers a comprehensive and, if required, UKAS
accredited calibration service.
4.1 Calibration Equipment
The following tables give the accuracy requirements for the
calibration equipment and the UPS-III.
Calibration requires a stable temperature of 21° ± 1°C (70° ±
2°F).
4.1.1 UPS-III Measure Mode
* A calibration technician must have the necessary technical
knowledge, documentation, special test equipment and tools to
carry out the calibration work on this equipment.

4.2 Calibration Check
1. Connect the UPS-III to the electrical calibrator. Switch on the
electrical calibrator and allow it to thermally stabilize.
2. Switch on the UPS-III and allow the instrument to thermally
stabilize.
3. Set the UPS-III to mA measure, adjust the electrical
calibrator to apply the first value in the Table 3. Record the
reading of the UPS-III.
4. Repeat step 3 for all the values in the Table 3.
5. Compare the recorded values and the applied values if the
difference is greater than the permitted error, the instrument
requires a calibration adjustment.
6. Repeat this procedure for V measure (Table 4) and mA
source (Table 5).
4.3 Calibration Adjustment
1. Connect the UPS-III to the electrical calibrator. Switch on the
electrical calibrator and allow it to thermally stabilize.
2. Switch on the UPS-III and press , within two seconds to
select Calibration. Enter the access code [9410 factory
setting] and allow the instrument to thermally stabilize.
