Auto Power Off
• The calibrator will automatically shut down if there is no button or communication
operation within the 30min (factory setting), which is enabled by default and is
displayed for about 2s during the booting process.
• To disable auto power off, press down LEFT (0%) value button while turning on the
calibrator until the buzzer beeps.
To enable auto power off, press down RIGHT (0%) value button while turning on the
calibrator until the buzzer makes a “beep” sound.
• To adjust the auto power off time, press down RIGHT (0%) value button while
turning on the calibrator until the buzzer beeps, then adjust the time between
1-30 min with the UP or DOWN (25%) value buttons, then short press TC button
to save the setting (if the time is not saved, the calibrator will exit settings mode
automatically in 5 seconds) and then enter the operating mode.
Backlight Brightness Control
• Press down UP (25%) value button while turning on the calibrator until the buzzer
makes a “beep” sound.
• Then adjust the backlight brightness by using the UP or DOWN (25%) value
buttons, the brightness value is displayed on the screen as shown:

calibrator will exit settings mode automatically in 5 seconds) and then enter the
operating mode.
• Briey press the UP or DOWN (25%) value buttons to add or subtract 1 for the
value above the underline (the value is automatically carried and the position of the
underline remains unchanged) and press LEFT (0%) or RIGHT (100%) to change
the position of the underline.
• Long press C/F button until the buzzer beeps, 0mV can be used as the value of 0%.

Simulating Thermocouples
• Connect the calibrator output to the instrument
being measured with thermocouple wires and
simulate the thermocouple as follows:
• Short press T/C button to choose the
thermocouple function, LCD will display oC unit.
Keep pressing this button to select the required
thermocouple type (oC or oF)
• Connect the thermocouple wires to the calibrator.
Connect the red test lead to TC terminal, black to
COM terminal.
• Select an output digit by pressing LEFT (0%) or
RIGHT (100%) buttons, and adjust its value with
the UP or DOWN (25%) value buttons.
Thermocouple Cold Junction Temperature Compensation
Simulating thermocouples includes auto and manual cold junction temperature
compensation.
• The auto cold junction compensation directly adopts the cold junction temperature
of the device; and for the manual compensation, users can input the custom cold
junction temperature through buttons.
Auto Cold Junction Temperature Compensation
• When entering the thermocouple output mode for the rst time, the default method
of cold junction temperature compensation is Auto, as shown in the gure above.
• To view the current value of auto cold junction temperature compensation, long
press RTD button, and the Auto symbol is replaced by the current value which will
display for 2 seconds and then automatically return to Auto display.
Manual Cold Junction Temperature Compensation
• Users can enter the required cold junction temperature through buttons. The
specic steps are as follows:
• Long press TC button to enter the manual cold junction compensation setting
mode.
• Adjust the manual compensation using the LEFT (0%) or RIGHT (100%) and the
UP or DOWN (25%) buttons.
• Long press TC to save the manual compensation value, device will automatically
return to the thermocouple output mode.
• To return to Auto compensation mode, press and hold RTD.
oC or oF Temperature Display
• In temperature mode short press C/F button to switch modes between oC or oF.

Simulating Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD)
• Connect the calibrator to the instrument being measured according to the gure as
shown, and simulate the RTD as follows:
• Press RTD button to select the RTD type.
• Connect the thermocouple wires to the calibrator as shown above: connect the red
test lead to TC terminal, black to COM terminal.
• Select an output digit by pressing LEFT (0%) or RIGHT (100%) buttons, and adjust
its value with the UP or DOWN (25%) value buttons.
Note: The calibrator can simulate a 2-wire RTD output on the front panel. To connect to
a 3-wire or 4-wire transmitter, use stacking cables to provide additional wiring.
ADVANCED APPLICATIONS
Setting 0% and 100% Output Parameters
• Users need to set the values of 0% and 100% for the step operation and
percentage display. Some values of the calibrator have been set as default.
• The table below lists the factory settings.
Output Functions 0% value 100% Value

• These factory settings may not be suitable for your work, you can reset them
according to your requirements so that you can use the step or ramp output
function and get the percentage display.
• Adjust the output value with four VALUE buttons, long press C/F or SLOPE/STEP
until the buzzer makes a “beep” sound to set the new values of 0% and 100%. The
newly set range is automatically saved in the calibrator storage area, and it is still
valid after restarting.
• Now you can use the settings to do the following:
• Long press UP or DOWN (25%) to manually step (increase or decrease) the output
in 25% increments.
• Long press LEFT (0%) or RIGHT (100%) to switch the output between 0% and
100% range.
Auto Ramping (inc/dec) the Output
• The auto ramping function allows you to continuously apply a varying signal from
the calibrator to the transmitter and view the calibrators response.
• Press the SLOPE/STEP button and the calibrator will generate a continuous and
repeating 0% - 100% ramping output.
• Three types of ramping waveforms are available:
1. 0%-100%-0% 40 second smooth ramp
2. 0%-100%-0% 15 second smooth ramp
3. 0%-100%-0% 25% step ramp pausing for 5 seconds at each step
• Press any key to exit the ramping output function.
Restore Factory Settings
• Long press the RTD button while powering on the calibration until the buzzer
sounds. After the factory reset is completes the calibrator will automatically enter
into the operating mode.
• The following factory settings are restored:
1. Operating mode: voltage output mode
2. Auto power off time: 30 mins (enabled)
3. LCD backlight brightness: 60%
4. Output range
