Loop Calibrator
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The Fluke 707 Loop Calibrator (hereafter, the Calibrator) is a
compact sourcing and measuring tool. The Calibrator tests current
loops of 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA and measures dc voltage to 28 V. It
comes with a set of alligator-clip test leads, a 9 V alkaline battery,
and this Instruction Sheet.
The Calibrator is a IEC 61010, CAT I 30 V, Pollution Degree 2
instrument. A CAT I instrument is designed to protect against
transients from high-voltage, low-energy sources, like electronic
circuits or a copy machine, for example.

Battery Saver
The Calibrator automatically turns off after 30 minutes of inactivity.
To reduce this time or disable this feature:
1. With the Calibrator OFF, press D.
PSXX is displayed, where XX is the turn-off time in minutes.
OFF means the power saver is disabled.
2. Turn mto decrease or increase the turn-off time.
To disable, turn muntil the display shows OFF.
3. The Calibrator resumes normal operation after 2 seconds.

WWarnings and Cautions
To avoid electric shock, injury, or damage to the
Calibrator:
•Use the Calibrator only as described in this
Instruction Sheet or the protection provided by the
Calibrator may be impaired.
•Do not use the Calibrator around explosive gas,
vapor, or dust.
•Inspect the Calibrator before use. Do not use it if
appears damaged.
•Check the test leads for continuity, damaged
insulation, or exposed metal. Replace damaged
test leads.
•Never apply more than 30 V between any two
terminals, or between any terminal and earth
ground.
•Use the proper terminals, mode, and range for your
measuring or sourcing application.
•To prevent damage to the unit under test, put the
Calibrator in the correct mode before connecting
the test leads.
•When making connections, connect the COM test
lead before the live lead; when disconnecting,
disconnect the live lead before the COM lead.
•Never use the Calibrator with the case open.
•Make sure the battery door is closed before you
use the Calibrator.
•Replace the battery as soon as the M(low battery)
symbol appears to avoid false readings that can
lead to electric shock.
•Remove test leads from the Calibrator before
opening the case or battery door.

•To adjust the current in 1 μA steps, simply
turn the knob.
•To adjust the current in 100 μA steps, press
in and turn the knob.

A continuously applied or controlled mA ramping
signal is produced in one of three ramp forms.

Using the mA Sourcing (Output) Modes
The Calibrator outputs current 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 2-wire transmitter in
an externally-powered current loop.
Changing the mA Output Span
The Calibrator has two mA output spans:
•4 mA to 20 mA (0 % to 100 %) [default]
•0 mA to 20 mA (0 % to 100 %) [optional]
To change the output span, turn the Calibrator off. Press A+ D
simultaneously. The selected setting is saved until it is changed
again.
Sourcing mA
Use SOURCE mode to supply current to a passive circuit.
A path must exist for current to flow between the +and COM
terminals. Otherwise the display indicates an overload (OL) when
you set an output value.

Auto Ramping the mA Output
Auto ramping allows you to continuously apply a varying current from
the Calibrator to a passive (sourcing) or active (simulate) loop. Your
hands remain free to test the transmitter’s response.
Press B+ Csimultaneously to enter the Auto Ramp mode and
step to a ramp type.
The Calibrator applies or controls a continuously repeating mA signal
over a 0-20 mA or a 4-20 mA span in one of three ramp types:
Slow (e) 0 % to 100 % to 0 % smooth ramp over 40 sec.
Fast (g) 0 % to 100 % to 0 % smooth ramp over 15 sec.
Step (f) 0 % to 100 % to 0 % stair-step ramp in 25 % steps,
pausing 5 sec at each step.
To exit, press any pushbutton 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 select SpanCheck, press C.
