3. Instrucións de funcionamento

The Fluke 725 allows simultaneous viewing of input and output on its easy-to-read measure/source screen.

3.1 Basic Measurement and Sourcing

The calibrator features dedicated buttons for various measurement and source functions. Use the 'MEAS' button to select measurement mode and the 'SOURCE' button to select source mode. Specific parameters can be selected using the corresponding function buttons (e.g., V mA, TC, RTD, Hz, Ohms).

3.2 Parameter Specific Operations

• Voltage (V): Measure 0 to 30V, Source 0 to 10V. Resolution up to 0.01V.
• Corrente (mA): Measure and Source 0 to 24 mA. Resolution 0.001 mA. Max load for source is 1000 ohm.
• Thermocouples (TC): Measure and Source mV (TC terminals) from -10.00 mV to 75.00 mV.
• RTDs: Measure and Source Resistance from 15 to 3200 ohm.
• Frecuencia (Hz): Measure and Source 2.0 to 1000.0 CPM, 1 to 1000 Hz, 1.0 to 10.0 kHz. For frequency source, the waveform is a 5V p-p squarewave with a -0.1V offset.
• Ohms (Ω): Measure and Source resistance.
• Presión: Source pressure (requires external pressure modules, sold separately).

3.3 Funcións avanzadas

• Auto-Step and Auto-Ramp: Perform fast linearity tests using these automated features. Consult the on-screen menu or specific function buttons for activation.
• Subministro de bucle: The calibrator provides a 24V DC loop supply to power transmitters during testing, with simultaneous mA measurement capability.
• Retroiluminación: Activate the backlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
• Store Test Setups: Frequently used test configurations can be stored and recalled for efficiency.

4. Mantemento

4.1 Substitución da batería

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the four AA alkaline batteries promptly to ensure continued operation and accuracy. Refer to Section 2.2 for battery installation instructions.

4.2 Limpeza

To clean the calibrator, wipe the case with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.

4.3 Almacenamento

Store the Fluke 725 within the specified storage temperature range of -40 °C to 71 °C (-40 °F to 160 °F). For prolonged storage, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

5 Solución de problemas

If the Fluke 725 does not operate as expected, review the following general troubleshooting steps:

• Sen Poder: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are fresh.
• Lecturas incorrectas: Verify test lead connections, ensure correct function selection, and check for proper calibration.
• Problemas de visualización: If the display is dim, activate the backlight or replace batteries.
• Function Not Responding: Power cycle the unit (turn off, then on). If the issue persists, consult the manufacturer's support resources.
