Fluke 740 Series Documenting Process Calibrators:
Calibrators as versatile as you are.
As more and more process plants begin to take
advantage of smart transmitters, the need for a new
generation of calibrators has emerged — calibrators that
can communicate via industry standard digital
protocols. The 744 combines HART communication
capability with the popular 740 Series Documenting
Process Calibrators to deliver an integrated communi-
cating calibrator. This rugged, reliable tool is ideal for
calibrating, maintaining, and troubleshooting HART
instrumentation. The 744 offers:
• Integrated HART communication functions, permit-
ting you to monitor, control, and calibrate HART
instrumentation.
• Handling of fast pulsed RTD transmitters and PLCs,
with pulses as short as 1 mS.
• NiMH battery with 3500 mA hour life and gas gauge.

The Fluke 740 Calibrators, offered in three models, let
you choose the right set of capabilities for your needs.
• The Fluke 741B offers simultaneous source
and measure capabilities for all common process
parameters. Create and execute automated proce-
dures and automatically capture the results.
• The Fluke 743B offers all the capability of the 741B,
plus adds a serial interface for two-way communica-
tion with popular PC-based instrumentation
management applications.
• The Fluke 744 offers all of the capabilities of the
743B, plus the ability to maintain and calibrate
selected HART transmitters without a second tool.
Fluke 744 HART Documenting Process Calibrator:
Get HART-ability.
The first field calibrator for HART instruments
that’s both powerful and easy to use.
The 744 offers the most complete HART implementa-
tion of any process calibrator. The 744:
• Requires no external box or second tool for every-
day HART calibration and maintenance.
• Offers fast HART communication.
• Supports popular models of HART transmitters, with
more device-specific command support than any
other HART field calibrator.
• Fully complies with the Data Link Layer of the HART
protocol, including multiple masters, burst mode,
and multi-drop configurations.
• Is easy to update as additional instruments are
added and new HART versions are released.
• Is based on the 743B, the most rugged, reliable
multifunction field calibrator available.
• Is backed by the service and support of the Fluke
organization, a member of the HART Communica-
tions Foundation.
The 744 is designed to take on nearly all the day-to-
day tasks you now perform with a separate communi-
cator. In fact, it offers the communication capabilities
of the 275 HART communicator except for the DD
interpreter, which can read command set libraries
from any HART supplier. This is not necessary for daily
HART maintenance.
