Introduction
The 753 and 754 Documenting Process Calibrators (the
Product) are battery-powered, hand-held instruments that
measure and source electrical and physical parameters.
In addition, the 754 supplies basic HARTcommunicator
functions when used with HART-capable transmitters.
See the 754 HART Mode Users Guide for instructions on
how to use the HART communication feature.
The Product helps troubleshoot, calibrate, verify, and
document work performed on process instruments.
Note
All figures in this manual show the 754.

Safety Information
XW Warning
To prevent personal injury, use the Product
only as specified, or the protection supplied
by the Product can be compromised.
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury:
•Read all safety Information before you
use the Product.
•Carefully read all instructions.
•Use only correct measurement category
(CAT), voltage, and amperage rated
probes, test leads, and adapters for the
measurement.
•The battery must be locked in place
before you operate the Product.
•Recharge the battery when the low
battery indicator shows to prevent
incorrect measurements.
•Do not apply more than the rated
voltage, between the terminals or
between each terminal and earth ground.
•Limit operation to the specified
measurement category, voltage, or
amperage ratings.
•Do not exceed the Measurement
Category (CAT) rating of the lowest rated
individual component of a Product,
probe, or accessory.
•Measure a known voltage first to make
sure that the Product operates correctly.
•Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms,
42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
•Do not use the Product around explosive
gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
•Do not use and disable the Product if it
is damaged.
•Do not use the Product if it operates
incorrectly.
•Keep fingers behind the finger guards on
the probes.
•Remove all probes, test leads, and
accessories that are not necessary for
the measurement.
•Only use probes, test leads, and
accessories that have the same
measurement category, voltage, and
amperage ratings as the Product.
•Connect the common test lead before
the live test lead and remove the live test
lead before the common test lead.

•Use only current probes, test leads, and
adapters supplied with the Product.
•Do not touch the probes to a voltage
source when the test leads are
connected to the current terminals.
•Use only cables with correct voltage
ratings.
•Do not use test leads if they are
damaged. Examine the test leads for
damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if
the wear indicator shows. Check test
lead continuity.
•Examine the case before you use the
Product. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Carefully look at the insulation
around the terminals.
•Always put the stackable end of the test
lead into a terminal of the Product.
