September 2013Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Comtest has introduced the new Fluke 709 and 709H mA loop calibrators which are specifically designed to save time and produce high quality results. They are built around a user-friendly interface with a Quick-Set rotary encoder knob. This tool reduces the time it takes to measure or source current and power up a loop. The protective holster easily fits into a technician’s hand and the large backlit display is easy to read, even in dark, cramped worked areas.
The 709H adds HART communications and supports a select set of the HART universal and common practice commands. This makes the 709H unique as both an affordable, compact loop calibrator and powerful HART communication troubleshooting tool. In the communicator mode the user will be able to read basic device information, perform diagnostic tests and trim the mA output on most HART enabled transmitters. In the past, this could only be done with a dedicated communicator, a high-end multifunction calibrator, or a laptop computer with HART modem. Fluke 709H will allow virtually any technician to service and support HART devices.
