Loop Calibrator
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The Fluke 705 Loop Calibrator is a source and measurement tool
for 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA current loop testing and a
measurement tool for dc voltage from 0 to 28 V. The calibrator
does not source and measure simultaneously.
Your calibrator is supplied with a set of TL75 test leads, AC72
alligator clips, 9 V installed alkaline battery, and this instruction
sheet.

Safety Information
Use the calibrator only as specified in this sheet, otherwise the
protection provided by the calibrator may be impaired.
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s)
to the user; a Caution identifies conditions and actions that may
damage the calibrator or the equipment under test.

WWarning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
•Never apply more than 30 V between any two
terminals, or between any terminal and earth
ground.
•Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or
exposed metal. Check lead continuity. Replace
damaged test leads before you use the meter.
•Make sure the battery door is closed and latched
before you operate the calibrator.
•Remove test leads from the calibrator before you
open the battery door.
•Do not operate calibrator if it is damaged.
•Do not operate the calibrator around explosive gas,
vapor, or dust. Caution
Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your
measurement or output application.

Using the Current Output Modes
The calibrator provides current output for calibrating and testing
0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA current loops and instruments.
In source mode, the calibrator supplies the current. In simulate
mode, the calibrator simulates a two-wire transmitter in an
externally-powered current loop.

Sourcing mA
Use source mode whenever you need to supply current into a
passive circuit. Insert the test leads into the terminals as shown
below.
Note
A path must exist for current to flow between the output
+and −mA terminals, otherwise the display will indicate
an overload (OL) when you set an output value.

Simulating a Transmitter
When simulating the operation of a transmitter, the calibrator
regulates the loop current to a known value that the user selects.

Auto Ramping the mA Output
Auto ramping allows you to continuously apply a varying current
stimulus from the calibrator to a passive (sourcing) or active
(simulate) loop while your hands remain free to test the
transmitter’s response. The calibrator produces a continuously
repeating ramp in your choice of three waveforms:
•E0 % - 100 % - 0 % 40-second smooth ramp
•O0 % - 100 % - 0 % 15-second smooth ramp
•N0 % - 100 % - 0 % Stair-step ramp in 25 % steps,
pausing 5 seconds at each step.
To exit ramping, press any button or turn the calibrator off.
Using the SpanCheckFunction
The SpanCheck™function checks the zero and span points of a
transmitter in either Source or Simulate mode. To exit the
SpanCheck function, press the SOURCE SIM MEAS key or the

Changing the Current Span
The calibrator’s current output span has two settings:
•4 mA = 0 %, 20 mA = 100 % (default)
•0 mA = 0 %, 20 mA = 100 % (optional)
To change and save the current output span in a nonvolatile
memory (retained when the power is turned off), press Uwhile
turning on the calibrator to mA.
