7018 Differential Pressure Calibrator

Description
The 7018 is a differential pressure calibration system suitable for field and laboratory Features
calibration work of both diffential pressure and electrical process loop signals.
• 0.2, 2, 5 and 10 bar versions available
The instrument is designed for very stable measurement of differential pressures between
its two output ports, enabling the calibration of differential pressure gauges, transducers, • Accuracy 0.04 % of full scale
and transmitters. There are five available versions, according to the required range, either
0.2, 2, 5, or 10 bar. • Pneumatic

Features include a 4.5 digit LCD display with 4 selectable pressure units plus mA, zeroing • Calibrate DP transmitters, gauges & more
switch, and two quick release connector ports (Hi and Lo for differential pressure input) • Loop current measure
that are situated on the front panel of the unit. Best accuracy is 0.04 % of full scale.
• 24/36 V loop power
For process signal calibration the loop signal is displayed on the LCD display to 0.05 %
accuracy. Loop drive supply (24 V or 36 V) is also provided. Both pressure and loop signal • Over-pressure alarm
can be displayed at the same time to speed up the calibration of pressure transmitters.
• RS-232 serial interface
Additionally a continuity function is available for testing for open circuit loops.

Power is via internal rechargeable cells (24 hours typical use) with a built-in mains • EasyCal software compatible
charger. The unit can be powered directly from the mains if required. The 7018 is housed • Mains or battery powered
in an impact resistant safety case that provides protection and increased durability.
Pressure connections are on the front panel and the instrument is supplied with a
pressure hose, electrical test lead, 2 electrical probes and 2 crocodile clips.
EasyCal Calibration Software
Options The 7018 can be controlled with readback via Time Electronics
For the 7018, input pressure can be generated by the 7090 pneumatic hand pump (-950 EasyCal software to automate the calibration process. This
mbar to 40 bar). Other pumps and digital pressure gauges are also available. provides increased speed of calibration and consistency of
results. Produce traceable calibration certificates and test
For process control signal simulation Time Electronics’ handheld 7006 Loop-Mate is reports for quality standards with additional uncertainty
available as an option. It provides 4 - 20 mA and 0 - 10 V signals at levels of 0 %, 10 %, information for ISO 17025 conformance.
25%, 50 %, 75 %, 90 %, 100 %. It can also step through these set points automatically to
allow hands free calibration. It is battery powered and can be stored in the 7018’s
supplied carry pouch. See separate datasheets for more information.

The 7018 is fitted with RS232 connection as standard. Display readback can be
performed using EasyCal calibration software. With comprehensive features EasyCal
can simplify and speed up calibration procedures. Easily produce calibration certificates
and reports to international quality standards.
