Basic Operations and Functions

Measurement and Output

The purpose of this section is to introduce some basic operations of UT705.
Follow the steps below for the voltage measurement:

1. Connect the red test lead to the V terminal, black to the COM terminal; then connect the red probe to possitive terminal of the external voltage source, black to the negative terminal.
2. Press (>2s) to turn on the calibrator and it will perform a self-test, which includes the internal circuit and LCD display testing. The LCD screen will display all symbols for 1s during the self-test. The interface is shown below:
3. Then the product model (UT705) and the auto power off time (Omin: auto power off is disabled) are displayed for 2s, as shown below:
4. Press to switch to voltage measurement mode. In this case, no switching is required after starting up.
5. Press to select the source mode.
6. Press™ or to add or subtract 1 for the value above the underline (the value is automatically carried and the position of the underline remains unchanged); press to change the position of the underline.
7. Use ee to adjust the output value to 10mA, then press until the buzzer makes a “beep” sound, 10mA will be saved as the value of 0%.
8. Similarly, press to increase the output to 20mA, then press until the buzzer makes a “beep” sound, 20mA will be saved as the value of 100%.
9. Long press or to increase or decrease the output between 0% and 100% in 25% steps.

Auto Power Off

• The calibrator will automatically shut down if there is no button or communication operation within the specified time.

• Auto power off time: 30min (factory setting), which is disabled by default and is displayed for about 2s during the booting process.

• To disable “auto power off, press down 6 while turning on the calibrator until the buzzer beeps.
  To enable “auto power off, press down 6 while turning on the calibrator until the buzzer beeps.

• To adjust the “auto power off time’, press down 6 while turning on the calibrator until the buzzer beeps, then adjust the time between 1~30 min with@),@ 2 buttons, long  dress to save settings, ST will flash and then enter the operating mode. If the button is not pressed, the calibrator will exit settings automatically in 5s after pressing the buttons (the current set value will not be saved).

LCD Backlight Brightness Control

Steps:

1. Press down while turning on the calibrator until the buzzer makes a “beep” sound, the interface is as shown below:
2. Then adjust the backlight brightness by the G@ buttons, the brightness value is displayed on the screen.
3. Long press to save settings, ST will flash, and then enter the operating mode. If the button is not pressed, the calibrator will exit settings automatically in 5s after pressing the buttons (the current set value will not be saved).

 Functions

Voltage Measurement

Steps:

1. Press to make the LCD display MEASURE; short press and V unit is displayed.
2. Connect the red test lead to the V terminal, and black to the COM terminal.
3. Then connect the test probes to the voltage points to be tested: connect the red probe to the positive terminal, the black to the negative terminal.

4. Select an output digit by < buttons, and adjust its value with 4 V buttons.
5. Read the data on the ammeter.

Advanced Applications

Setting 0 % and 100 % Output Parameters

Users need to set the values of 0% and 100% for the step operation and percentage display. Some values of the calibrator have been set before delivering. The table below lists the factory settings.

These factory settings may not be suitable for your work. You can reset them according to your requirements.
To reset the 0% and 100% values, select a value and long press or until the buzzer beeps, the newly set value will be saved automatically in the calibrator’s storage area and it is still valid after restarting. Now you can do the following with the new settings:

• Long press or to manually step (increase or decrease) the output in 25% increments.
• Long press or to switch the output between 0% and 100% range.

Auto Ramping (Increase/Decrease) the Output

The auto ramping function allows you to continuously apply a varying signal from the calibrator to the transmitter, and your hands can be used to test the calibrator’s response.
When you press,   the calibrator will generate a continuous and repeating 0%-100%-0% ramping output.
Three types of ramping waveforms are available:

• A0%-100%-0% 40-second smooth ramp
• M0%-100%-0% 15-second smooth ramp
• © 0%-100%-0% 25% step ramp, pausing 5s at each step
  Press any key to exit the ramping output function.
