The Fluke 712C is a handheld loop calibrator designed for maintaining and calibrating process control devices. It is commonly used by technicians and engineers in the field of instrumentation and control systems. The Fluke 712C offers a range of features that make it a versatile tool for loop testing and calibration tasks.
Here are some key features of the Fluke 712C:
Loop calibration: The Fluke 712C allows you to calibrate process control devices that operate on current loops, such as transmitters, controllers, and valves. It can simulate, measure, and source various types of loop signals, including current (mA) and voltage (mV).
Current measurement and sourcing: The instrument provides accurate current measurement and sourcing capabilities, allowing you to troubleshoot and calibrate current loops. It has selectable 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA current ranges and can source or simulate currents in these ranges.
Simultaneous mA and % readout: The Fluke 712C features a dual-display that shows the measured current in milliamps (mA) and the percentage of the 4-20 mA span. This feature allows for easy comparison and calibration of loop devices.
HART compatibility: Some versions of the Fluke 712C may support HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication protocol, which enables communication with HART-enabled instruments for configuration and calibration purposes.
Easy-to-use interface: The instrument typically has an intuitive user interface with dedicated buttons and a clear LCD display for easy navigation and operation. It may also offer additional functions such as step and ramp outputs for testing and calibration procedures.
Compact and rugged design: Like other Fluke instruments, the Fluke 712C is designed to be portable and built to withstand harsh field conditions. Its sturdy construction ensures durability and reliability in demanding environments.
