Limited Warranty
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is one year
and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs and services are
warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-
user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses,
disposable batteries or to any product which, in Fluke’s opinion, has been
misused, altered, neglected or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of
operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in
accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been
properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software
will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused
products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater
or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available if product
is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the
applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for
importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one
country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke’s warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke’s option, to refund of the purchase
price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is
returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center
or send the product, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance
prepaid (FOB Destination), to the nearest Fluke authorized service center.
Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the
product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If
Fluke determines that the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or
abnormal condition of operation or handling, Fluke will provide an estimate of
repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following
repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the
Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB
Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN
LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING
FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT,
RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied
warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the
limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any
provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of

Introduction
Use this Windows software program and interface unit to
verify and calibrate Fluke 700 Series Pressure Modules for
zero and span errors at ambient temperature. You will need a
pressure calibrator or dead weight tester that is at least 4X
more accurate than the pressure module under test.
You do not use a 701 or 702 during this procedure. The PC
communicates directly with the pressure module through the
interface unit.
Safety Specifications
Designed to IEC-1010-1 Overvoltage Category II, ANSI/ISA-
S82.01-1994.
Box Contents
Box contains an interface unit with serial interface cable, 9 to
25 pin serial adapter, floppy disk with software, power supply,
line cord, and instruction sheet.
Loading the Software
With Microsoft Windows 3.1 running, from Program Manager
select File Run. Enter a:setup (or another drive letter if
necessary) in the dialog box. The install program loads
700PCK onto your C: drive and creates a program group.
Connecting 700PCK to the Module
Plug the pressure module into the interface unit, connect the
interface unit power supply to line power (90 to 270V ac), and
connect the interface cable to an available serial port on your
PC as shown on the next page. Connect the pressure
module to the pressure calibrator or dead weight tester.
Click on the 700PCK icon to start the program. Select the
desired communications port under Com Port. Click on
Connect. If the connection is not successful, try another Com
Port.

Zero Pressures
In verification and calibration, these instructions refer to a
zero pressure.
In verification, for standard (positive-only reading), vacuum,
or dual-range modules this is equivalent to venting to the
atmosphere. For absolute modules, it is best to apply a
known vacuum pressure as low as possible, but any precisely
known pressure will work.
In calibration, for standard (positive-only reading) and
vacuum modules, the module or pressure calibrator should
be vented to atmosphere. For absolute modules, a known
vacuum must be applied. For dual or compound-range
modules, a negative pressure should be applied that is close
to the negative full span.
As Found Verification
Proceed as follows to collect verification data for the module
before you adjust it. Before you verify the module, exercise it
by applying full scale pressure, then venting to atmosphere.
As found data is saved in a file named “nnnnnnn.fnd,” where
“nnnnnnn” is the serial number of the pressure module. You
can import this file into a database or spreadsheet program.
1. Click on As Found Verification.
2. Apply each requested pressure. Where a zero pressure
is called for, refer to Zero Pressures above.
Wait for the reading to settle (to typically less than 1
count change in 5 seconds) before you go on to each
next step.
3. Click on Done to save the data to a text file.
If Verification Fails by More than 1%
If the pressure module is more than 1% out of tolerance, it
needs full calibration over temperature at a Fluke Service
Center, and possibly repair. Check for tolerance exceeding
1% of full scale by comparing the results of As Found
Verification with the pressure module specifications.
Calibration Adjustment
Using the calibration adjustment procedure, you create new
calibration coefficients and download them into the pressure
module. Before you calibrate the module, exercise it by
applying full scale pressure, then venting to atmosphere.
Proceed as follows to adjust a module:
1. Click on Calibration Adjustment.
2. Apply a zero pressure (refer to Zero Pressures above).
Wait for the reading to settle (to typically less than 1
count change in 5 seconds) before you go on to the next
step.
3. Apply full scale pressure ±5% as requested by the
program. Again, wait for the reading to settle.
4. Test the module by applying any pressure between zero
and full scale. The module is now working with the
updated constants.
5. In cases where the zero error was large, you may have
to perform calibration adjustment twice. To repeat the
calibration adjustment, click on Calibration Adjustment
again, before clicking on Disconnect.
6. Click on Save to Module to download the new constants
and make the changes permanent (until you adjust it
again).
As Left Verification
Proceed as follows to collect verification data for the module
after you have adjusted it. Before you verify the module,
exercise it by applying full scale pressure, then venting to
atmosphere. As left data is saved in a plain text file named
“nnnnnnn.lft,” where “nnnnnnn” is the serial number of the
pressure module. You can import this file into a database or
spreadsheet program.
1. Click on As Left Verification.
2. Apply each requested pressure. Where a zero pressure
is called for, refer to Zero Pressures.
Wait for the reading to settle (to typically less than 1
count change in 5 seconds) before you go on to each
next step.
3. Click on Done to save the data to a text file.
As found data is stored as "nnnnnnn.fnd" where "nnnnnnn" is
the seven or eight-digit serial number. The only difference
between "as found verification" and "as left verification" is
that the file extension is changed to ".lft". All files are stored
in the "data" subdirectory of the working directory.
NOTE
When using the 700PCK with 700P22, 700P23,
or 700P24 Pressure Modules, derate module
specification to 0.1% if electromagnetic field
strength exceeds 2.5 V/m (above 3 V/m not
specified).
