5. MODEL DC80L
The DC80L is the calibrator model for measuring and simulating V, mV and mA
signals. The DC80L is capable of measuring and generating 0 to 24 mA DC
current signals and voltages up to 15 V DC. Simultaneous measurement and
signal simulation is not provided.
Current measurements options are:
- With use of external power supply provided by the system. In this case, the
calibrator is placed in series to measure the loop current (signal of a 2-wire
transmitter, for example).
- The calibrator provides the power to the loop. This option makes use of the
DC80L built-in power supply. This configuration applies to measurements of
standalone 4-20 mA transmitters (sink type transmitters).
Current simulation possibilities are:
- The calibrator sources the current to the target instrument.
- The calibrator simulates (behaves as) a 2-wire transmitter.
The following tables show the DC80L specifications functions and ranges, based
on a one year calibration period, at ambient temperatures ranging from +18 °C to
+28 °C. “Counts” means units of the least significant digit.
