1. Introduction The OMEGA PCL340 Series is designed to be a simple to use yet very versatile pressure calibrator. Its internal pressure sensor combined with inputs for mA, voltage and switch contacts allow the PCL340 Series to calibrate a variety of pressure devices. An external pressure module option allows an even wider range of pressure calibration options including absolute and differential. 1.1 Customer Service Omega Engineering One Omega Drive Box 4047 Stamford, CT 06907-0047 Tel: (203) 35

• Select the proper function and range for your measurement. • Make sure the battery cover is closed and latched before you operate the calibrator. • Remove test leads from the calibrator before you open the battery door. • Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check test leads continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you use the calibrator. • When using the probes, keep your fingers away from the probe contacts. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the pr

6. Performing a Pressure Switch Test Pressure switch under test Figure 10 To perform a switch test, follow these steps: 1. Change the setup to Setup 4 (default switch test). Setup 4: The upper display is set to [P1] ST, all other displays are off. Important NOTE: The pressure Switch Test can be performed with the following functions[P1] ST, or EXT ST. 2. Connect the calibrator to the switch using the pressure switch terminals. The polarity of the terminals does not matter. Then connect the p

5. Apply pressure with the pump slowly until the switch opens. Important NOTE: In the switch test mode the display update rate is increased to help capture changing pressure inputs. Even with this enhanced sample rate pressurizing the device under test should be done slowly to ensure accurate readings. 6. Once the switch is open, “OPEN” will be displayed, bleed the pump slowly until the pressure switch closes. 7. At the top of the display it will now read, “SW OPENED AT” and give you the pre
