Indication of Battery Level

(Remaining Battery Power Indicator)
The battery replacement indicator shows the battery level in three

steps according to the measured voltage of the batteries.
(Lit constantly): The battery level is normal.

(Lit constantly): The battery level is below 50% full,
but still allows for normal operation.
(flashing): replace the batteries.
3-4 IM CA71-E
Note that the battery replacement (remaining battery power)

indicator is driven by directly measuring the battery voltage 1
when the calibrator is in actual operation.
Consequently, the indicator may read differently depending on
the battery load condition (e.g., the load condition of the source 2
output or on/off state of the measurement function)
if the batteries are too low.
If the remaining power starts to run low, replace the batteries
3
as soon as possible.

If the calibrator will be used under a wide variety of conditions, 4
it is advisable that the battery replacement indicator be verified
under heavy loads (MEASURE mode is on and the SOURCE mode
5
is set to the 20 mA/10 V output).
■ Connecting the AC Adapter

4.2.4 Using As 24-V Loop Power Supply

A maximum load current of 22 mA can be drawn from the calibrator
by selecting the 30 V range and setting the sourced voltage to 24 V.
With this function, you can use the calibrator as a loop power supply
in place of the distributor in a two-wire loop, as shown in the following
figure. Thus, you can measure a 4-20 mA current signal.
Using the supplied terminal adapter (P/N: 99021) makes it easy to
wire the calibrator for this application.
NOTE
Since the function discussed above requires a significant amount of
DC current (22 mA), operation on batteries will reduce the battery life
considerably.

4.3 Sourcing Resistance or RTD Signal

1
• The calibrator sources a resistance signal by 1) receiving
the resistance-measuring current I supplied from the device being
calibrated, such as a resistance meter or RTD thermometer, and 2) 2
delivering the voltage V = R × I proportional to the preset resistance
R between the output terminals, and 3) thus producing the equivalent
resistance R = V/I. Consequently, the calibrator sources the signal
3
correctly only for such devices that employ this method of
measurement. 4
• The allowable range of the resistance measuring current I that
the calibrator receives from a resistance measuring device under
Source
calibration is rated as 0.1 to 5 mA. Note, however, that accuracy 5
lowers for resistance measuring currents smaller than 0.5 mA.
For further details, see Chapter 12, “Specifications.”
• Any resistance signal being sourced does not include the resistance 6
component of the lead cables for source.
The calibrator is adjusted so that the signal has a resistance value as
viewed from the output terminals.
7
The whole resistance, when measured at the ends of the lead cables
for source, is given by adding the resistance of the lead cables 8
themselves (approximately 0.1 Ω on a round-trip basis) to the sourced
resistance signal.
For source of precise resistance signals, use three-wire connection. 9
• If capacitance between the terminals of a device under calibration is
greater than 0.1 µF, the calibrator may fail to source correct resistance
signals. 10

temperature from the calibrator's output terminal and roughly check
the measurement (reading) on the thermometer under verification.
Because the thermoelectromotive force generated using this method does

TIP
• In approximately 10 seconds, the temperature monitor function

automatically returns to the initial normal setting mode. 10
• The reading of internal temperature may become higher than the room’s
temperature because of a temperature rise within the calibrator. 11
With an external RJ sensor, it is possible to measure the room’s temperature
more precisely.
• For a reading of monitored temperature, the unit symbol (mV, Ω or °C) blinks. 12

as is for three seconds, and then turns it off. Thus, one cycle of sweeping
is completed. 12
• To alter the direction in which the output changes, press the key when
sweeping is in progress (LCD reading is changing).
The calibrator alters the direction of change and continues sweep operation.
13
For example, pressing the key during an increase in the output causes
the output to begin decreasing. App

Step 2: Place switch 1 (Sweep switch) in the ON (right-side)
position.
Step 3: By setting the position of switch 2 (Speed switch),

set the time of one step.
OFF (left-side): 2.5 sec/step; ON (right-side): 5 sec/step
Step 4: Press the key to turn on the calibrator.

Step 5: Using the function selector switch, select the function
(voltage, current, resistance, thermocouple, or RTD) for
which you want to source a signal.
In the case of pulse source, the auto step function is disabled.
Step 6: Set the output value.

The SWEEP indication on the LCD changes to AUTO STEP
and the n/m symbol turns on.

Step 8: Using each pair of and keys, set the value of

the denominator m and the starting setpoint of 1
the enumerator n.
(See Section 4.6, "Divided Output Function (n/m),
for further details.) 2

The starting setpoint is the minimum of the variable n for
auto step operation.
3
Step 9: Pressing the key initiates the automatic stepping of
the divided output (n/m), as described below.
Assuming the starting value of the variable n is 1, 4
the output cyclically changes with the variable n as n changes
in the following manner.
n = 1 → 2 → 3 → · · · (m – 1) → m → (m – 1) → · · · → 5
2→1→2→3→···
Step 10: To quit the auto step function, turn off the calibrator by 6
pressing the key.
Place switch 1 back in the OFF (left-side) position.
Note that disabling the divided output mode (n/m) before 7
placing switch 1 back in the OFF position enters sweep mode.
8
TIP
• Pressing the key to change to the SOURCE OFF state pauses

the auto step operation.
9
• To execute the auto step function again, press the key.
The auto step operation resumes from the value of n shown on the LCD. 10

7.3 Selecting the INT RJ Function
7.3 Selecting the INT RJ Function

The INT RJ function compensates for the measured reference
junction temperature by using the calibrator's built-in RJ sensor.
The function enables you to generate thermoelectromotive force
that is based on the measured temperature from the calibrator's
output terminal. The built-in temperature sensor is located near
the calibrator's terminals. Because the thermoelectromotive force
generated using this method does not match that generated using
an external RJ sensor,* the accuracy of this measurement is not
guaranteed. For more accurate reference junction compensation,
be sure to use the optional RJ sensor (P/N: B9108WA).
* The terminal temperature of the thermometer under verification
is measured using an external RJ sensor, and this temperature
is used as the reference junction temperature.

Step 2: Place switch 3 (INT RJ switch) in the ON (right-side) position.
The calibrator detects temperature using its built-in
temperature sensor and outputs reference junction-
compensated thermoelectromotive force appropriate for
the detected temperature.
Step 3: To disable the INT RJ function, turn off the calibrator by

pressing the key.
Step 4: Place switch 3 back in the OFF (left-side) position.
TIP
Even when the INT RJ function is selected, the temperature detected by
an external RJ sensor precedes any other measured temperature
if you plug the sensor into the RJ INPUT connector.
For further details, see Appendix 1, " Reference Junction

Compensation."

By placing switch 4 (IPTS-68 switch) in the ON (right-side) position,
you can select the IPTS-68 temperature scale when you choose
the type-K, E, J, T, N, R, S or B thermocouple or the Pt100 RTD. 2

Placing the switch in the OFF position results in the selection of
the ITS-90 temperature scale.

TIP
When you have selected a type of thermocouple or RTD, 4
the LCD shows IPTS-68.

TIP
• To close the communication setting screen, press the key once again
while simultaneously holding down the key.
• Even if you turn off the calibrator, the communication mode and interval
you have set are saved internally until you replace the batteries or
reconfigure the communication function.
Thus, communication will take place with the previous settings.
8.3 Types of Mode

: Normal mode – Permits normal transmission and reception.
: Talk-only mode – Outputs the source setpoint and measured
value at preset intervals (0* to 3600 sec).
: Printer mode – Outputs the source setpoint and measured
value to a printer at preset intervals
(0* to 3600 sec).
*: For a 0-second interval, each press of the key outputs one data
item. For other intervals, pressing the key initiates or terminates
communication.

NOTE 1
• Saving to memory results in the overwriting of existing data.
Be extremely careful since the previous adjustment setpoints are cleared.
• Both the thermocouple and RTD ranges are adjusted at the same time 2
when the 100 mV and 400 Ω ranges are adjusted.

TIP
With the CAL mode selected, press the key while holding down
the key.

This key operation cancels the CAL mode (the same key operation as for
selecting the CAL mode). 5

You can use the same key operation to cancel the CAL mode during
adjustment, before saving to memory.

CAUTION
Precautions when adjusting the 400 Ω range for resistance signal source
7
(1) Internal Offset Adjustment
When setting a resistance of 0.00 Ω , make sure the voltage between
the H and L terminals is within ±20 µV. If the voltage is beyond the limits,
8
internal adjustments must be made. Contact the vender from which you
purchased the instrument. 9
(2) Notes on Resistance-measuring Current
Adjusting the 400 Ω range requires drawing two types of resistance-
measuring current – 1 mA and 5 mA – from an external device. 10
Adjust the range separately for each of these currents.
Adjustment for 1 mA
This adjustment is possible with the resistance measuring range of 11
the calibration standard (digital multimeter). At this point,
make sure the resistance-measuring current is 1 mA.
Adjustment for 5 mA 12
Like the method of adjusting the 400 Ω/5 mA range shown in the figure
(Hook-ups for Adjustment) on page 10-3, you can make this adjustment
by applying the reference current of 5 mA from the external device and
13
then measuring the resulting voltage drop.

10.4 Notes on the Adjustment of
Temperature Ranges - CAL71 only - 7
Adjusting the temperature measuring ranges of the thermocouple
function involves using special equipment to make reference junction 8
compensation adjustments.
For this reason, contact the vender from which you purchased
the instrument to perform this adjustment. 9
10.5 Post-adjustment Verification 10

When adjustment work is done, test the calibrator to ensure that
adjustments have been made correctly and adjustment setpoints
11
have been saved into memory correctly.
To do this test, turn off the calibrator once and turn it back on again.
12
Then, place the calibrator in normal source or measurement mode
and check the setpoints using the same calibration standard.

Appendix 1 Reference Junction Compensation
1
Standard thermocouple tables give 0°C as the temperature of
the reference junction. Normally, the input terminal part 2
(reference junction) of a thermometer (device under calibration)
is at room temperature. (This results in an error equivalent to
the difference between 0°C and room temperature.) 3
Reference junction compensation means measuring (detecting)
the temperature of the reference junction, calculating the temperature
difference (difference of thermoelectromotive force) from 0°C,
4
and then carrying out compensation based on the result.
Use an external RJ sensor (or the built-in RJ sensor) for measuring 5
(detecting) the temperature of the reference junction.

Appendix 1 Reference Junction Compensation
■ Using a Cold Junction Compensator

A cold junction compensator can be used when, for example,
it is not possible to use an RJ sensor. The use of a cold junction
compensator enables the reference junction to be 0°C.
