Introduction
The Uni-Trend UT712 Volt/mA Calibrator is a source and measurement tool for 0 to
20mA current loop testing and DC Voltage from 0 to 20V. The calibrator does not
source and measure simultaneously.
Your calibrator has a unique design and large LCD can read the data clearly.
Your calibrator is supplied with the following:

Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
Never apply more than 30V between any two jacks (terminals), or between
any jack and earth ground.
Make sure the battery door is closed before you operate the calibrator.
Remove test leads from the calibrator before you open the battery door.
Do not operate calibrator if it is damged.
Do not use or store the calibrator in an environment of high temperature,
humidity, explosive, inflammable and strong magnetic field. The performance
of the Meter may deteriorate after dampened.
When servicing the calibrator, use only specified replacement parts.
Use the proper jacks, function, and range for your measurementt or output
application.
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or
personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator ( )
appears.
Turn the calibrator off when it is not in use and take out the battery when
not using for a long time.
Model UT712: OPERATING MANUAL

Constantly check the battery as it may leak when it has not been using for
some time, replace the battery as soon as leaking appears. A leaking
battery will damage the calibrator.
The internal circuit of the calibrator shall not be altered at will to avoid
damage of the calibrator and any acccident.
When the calibator is off, the jacks cannot connect to any loading or they
must not be short circuit between jacks.
When the calibrator is carrying out measurment, do not contact any bare
cable, connector, used jacks or the circuit under test.

Using the Current Output Modes
In source mode, the calibrator supplies the current. In simulate mode, the calibrator
simulates a two-wire transmitter in an externally-powered current loop
Sourcing mA
Use source mode whenever you need to supply current into a passive circuit such
as a current loop with no loop supply. Insert the test leads into the OUTPUT + and
– mA jacks as shown on figure 7.

Maintenance
Below provides basic maintenance information including battery and fuse replacement
instruction.
Do not attempt to repair or service your Meter unless you are qualified to
do so and have the relevant calibration, performance test, and service
information.
Warning
In Case of Difficulty
l Check the battery and test leads. Replace as necessary.
l Review this user manual to make sure you are using the correct jacks and
pushbuttons.
Cleaning
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent; do not user abrasives
or solvents.
Calibration
Calibrate your calibrator once a year to ensure that it performs according to its
specifications.

Replacing the Fuses
To avoid electrical shock or arc blast, or personal injury or damage to the
Meter, use specified fuses ONLY in accordance with the following procedure.
Warning
Follow Figure 9 and proceed as follows to replace the Meter’s fuse:
l Turn the calibrator off and remove all connections from the terminals.
l Remove the screw from the battery compartment, and separate the battery
compartment from the case bottom.
l Remove the three screws from the case bottom, and separate the case bottom
from the case top.
l Remove the fuse by gently prying one end loose, then take out the fuse from
its bracket.
l Install ONLY replacement fuses with the identical type and specification as
follows and make sure the fuse is fixed firmly in the bracket.
