Introduction
The Fluke 729 and 729 FC Automatic Pressure
Calibrators (the Product) are portable field pressure
calibration tools for lab or field use. This battery-operated
product performs automatic pressure calibration of
transmitters, pressure switches, and gauges. The
automatic functions are done by the Product or by
downloaded tasks from calibration-management software
(CMS). The Product also supplies basic HART®
communicator functions when used with HART-capable
transmitters. “FC” designates Fluke Connect®throughout
this manual.
Product key features and benefits include:
•Automatic pressure calibration of transmitters,
pressure switches and pressure gauges.
•Source and measure pressure to test and calibrate
pressure sensors, transmitters, and other pressure
instruments.
•Source and simulate milliamp signals while
measuring pressure for testing current to pressure
converters (I/P).
•HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer)
communication to configure and perform trim on
HART smart-pressure transmitters.
•Provides Loop Power and simultaneously measures
mA output from a connected device.
•Measures pressure with any of 50 Fluke-750P Series
pressure modules.
