Practical Instrument Electronics 334 - Manual (Page 4)

2 Wire mA, 2 Wire % (Percent of 4 to 20 mA)
Choose this function to simulate a 2 Wire Transmitter output from 0.00 to 24.00 milliamps. Operates
in loops with power supply voltages from 2 to 100 VDC
mA OUT, % OUT (Percent of 4 to 20 mA)
Choose this function to simultaneously supply power to a 2 Wire Transmitter while displaying the 4
to 20 mA output of the transmitter.
1) Disconnect one or both input wires from
the device to be calibrated.
2) Select “mA” or “% 4 to 20mA” with slide
switch q .
3) Select “SOURCE” using slide switch w .
4) Turn the knob r clockwise several times
until full scale output (24.00 mA/125.0%)
is obtained (this can be verified by clipping
the output leads together and checking
that the display indicates
“FULL SCALE”).
5) Connect the red source lead of the PIECAL
Model 334 to the plus (+) input of the
device and the black source lead to the
minus (-).
The PIECAL Model 334 supplies a nominal 24 volts DC at 24 mA to the 2 Wire Transmitter. The
current passed by the transmitter will be accurately displayed by the PIECAL Model 334. Calibrate
the transmitter in the usual manner and disconnect the PIECAL Model 334.

Loop current is adjusted by turning
knob
r while the EZ-CHECK™
switch e is in the “DIAL” position,
or the current can be set at the fixed
points of 4.00mA (0.0%) or 20.00mA
(100.0%) with switch
e .
