Introduction
The 721 Pressure Calibrator (the Product) is a simple to
use and versatile pressure calibrator. The two internal
pressure sensors are configured with different pressure
measurement ranges. One range for lower pressure (P1)
and one range for higher pressure (P2). The Product
features inputs for mA, switch contacts, and an RTD
probe. An external pressure module option gives a wider
range of pressure calibration options that include absolute
and differential pressure measurement.
