Introduction
The 719 30G and 100G Series Pressure Calibrators (the
Calibrator) perform the following functions:
•Calibrate P/I (pressure to current) transmitters
•Calibrate I/P (current to pressure) devices
•Identify the set, reset and deadband of of pressure
switches
•Measure pressure via a 1/8-in. NPT pressure fitting
and an internal pressure sensor or via a Fluke 700
Series Pressure Module
•Source pressure via electric pump
•Measure, source, and simulate current up to 24 mA
•Simultaneously displays pressure and current
•Supply loop voltage
•Calculate mA percentage in Percent Mode
•Calculate mA error % in Percent Error Mode
•Switch between pressure/vacuum control
The Calibrator features:
•Precision air bleed for fine control
•Fine vernier adjustment for the pump
•A serviceable electric pump
•Pressure limit settings
•HART resistor mode
The Calibrator ships with:
•holster
•two installed 9 V alkaline batteries
•TL75 test leads
•AC70A alligator clips
•hose kit
•Product Overview Manual
•CD-ROM (Users Manual)

The Calibrator makes 5-digit pressure measurements in
the units shown below:
•Psi
•inH2O at 4 °C
•inH2O at 20 °C
•kPa
•cmH2O at 4 °C
•cmH2O at 20 °C
•bar
•mbar
•kg/cm2
•inHg
•mmHg
For pressure modules, full-scale readings for all pressure
ranges can be made in:
•Psi
•kPa
•inHg
To avoid display overflow, full scale readings are limited
to 1000 psi in cmH2O, mbar, and mmHg units, and
3000 psi in inH2O units. Pressures of at least 15 psi must
be measured for meaningful readings in bar and kg/cm2
units.
Safety Information
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. Symbols used in this manual and on the
Calibrator are listed in Table 1.
XWWarning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal
injury:
•Use the Calibrator only as specified in
this manual, otherwise the protection
provided by the Calibrator may be
impaired.
•Never apply more than 30 V, including
transients, between the mA terminals, or
between either of the mA terminals and
earth ground.
•The Calibrator is rated for CAT I
measurement only. Do not use the
Calibrator to make measurements in a
CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV environments.
CAT I equipment is designed to protect
against transient from high-voltage, low-
energy sources, such as electronic
circuits or a copy machine
•Remove the test leads from the
Calibrator before opening the battery
door.
