Introduction
The Fluke 709 Precision Loop Calibrator and 709H Precision
HART Loop Calibrator (the Product or the Calibrator) can be used
for installation, calibration, and troubleshooting of field
transmitters, valves, and other control system components at
process plants. Primary functions are source and measure mA
signals in the 0 mA to 24 mA range. The Product can also produce
24 V dc loop power.
The 709H includes HART communication functionality and
supports a select set of HART universal and common-practice
commands. The Product can be used as a loop calibrator or basic
function communicator.
The 710 has all the functions of the 709H plus test functions for
HART smart control valves.
Table 1 is a list of features available by model number.

Product.
• Use the Product only as specified, or the
protection supplied by the Product can be
compromised.
• Examine the case before you use the Product.
Look for cracks or missing plastic. Carefully
look at the insulation around the terminals.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged.
Examine the test leads for damaged insulation
and measure a known voltage.
• Do not use and disable the Product if it is
damaged.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas,
vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
• Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac
peak, or 60 V dc.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage,
between the terminals or between each terminal
and earth ground.
• Do not connect directly to mains.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT)
rating of the lowest rated individual component
of a Product, probe, or accessory.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.
• Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories
before the battery door is opened.
• Remove the batteries if the Product is not used
for an extended period of time, or if stored in
temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are
not removed, battery leakage can damage the
Product.
• Replace the batteries when the low battery
indicator shows to prevent incorrect
measurements.
• The battery door must be closed and locked
before you operate the Product.

Communications Setup and Selection
For all Main screen operation modes, except mA Measure with
24V or Volts Measure, the operation mode is set to mA Measure
when you enter the HART Comm. Menu.
The operation mode remains the same as the main screen when it
is Measure with 24V. If Volts Measure was selected from the
Main menu, the menu defaults to communicator mode only and
the 250 Ω resistor selection shows n/a.
The 250 Ω resistor selection cannot be edited in communicator
mode.
The mode and resistor will change from the last selections made in
the HART Comm. Menu when you exit the menu.
The mode and 250 Ω resistor settings must correspond to how the
test leads are connected before you connect. See Figure 23.

HART Connect
The HART Connect function locates the HART device in the loop.
Before an operation with a HART device, the device must be
located on the loop. This is done by polling all of the possible
device addresses and selecting a device from those addresses
that respond to the search.
If a HART protocol revision 5 or earlier device is found on the loop,
polling stops at poll address 15. If not found, the Product continues
to poll address 63. Polling stops after 10 devices are found on the
loop.
If multiple devices are found on the loop, a tag list shows. From the
list, select the correct device. If only one device is found on the
loop, it becomes the selected device by default.
When a selected device is found, all relevant data is read from the
device and the operations described in the Function Select Menu
and Device Setup and Data sections of this manual become
available.
Polling Loop
The Polling Loop function searches the loop for HART devices.
This function starts immediately. The screen changes to show the
string of dots that is extended once per second to as the operation
progresses. See Figure 26.

An error shows if no device is found.
If multiple devices are found, a list of tags shows. Use the list of
tags to select the device.

Signature Test
In the Signature Test, the product sources a ramping 4 mA to
20 mA to 4 mA signal and records the pressure applied to the
actuator from the positioner and the position.
To set up:
1. Go to Signature Test Menu. See Figure 52.
Figure 52. Signature Test Setup
2. Push the knob to move the cursor through the options.
3. Confirm the Ramp Time, change if needed.
4. Change the Tolerance as required from 1 % to 20 %.
5. In the Calibrator Setup Menu, select Test Tolerance > Valve
Test Parameters to set the default test tolerances.
6. Change the size of steps as required from 0.1 mA to 4.0 mA.
To run the test:
1. Push to start the test.
The Product varies the 4 to 20 mA signal, monitors the TV and
QV variables (pressure and position), and compares it to
expected values.
• Good test result: the position variable is as expected.
• Marginal test result: the position variable value is found to
be close to the test tolerance.
• Bad test result: the position variable deviation values vary
greater than the tolerance.
2. Select Save to save the test results and upload later to the
ValveTrack software.
Or, select Discard if you do not want to save the test result.
Manual Test
Select Manual Test to see the mA signal applied and HART
variables. See Figure 53.
Figure 53. Manual Test
The HART variables that show on the display are important
information about the operation of the valve.
HART variable mapping:
PV: Digitized mA value that represents the mA value applied to the
valve.
Note
This value should agree closely with the applied mA
value.
SV: Setpoint where the valve is expected to be at in % of travel.
Valves forward acting are configured to Fail Open (FO) as the 4 to
20 mA signal moves the valve from 0 % to 100 % of travel (from
open to closed) with 4 to 20 mA signals applied. If the valve is
configured as FC and is forward acting, the valve opens as the
applied mA signal increases to 20 mA.

Fluke-Direct.com
709/709H/710
Users Manual
36
If the positioner is configured to be reverse acting, the relationship
of mA signal to control valve opening and closing is reversed.
Configuration for forward or reverse action does not change the
mode in which the valve fails.
TV: This variable is the pressure applied to the pneumatic actuator
by the valve positioner. With 4 mA applied in a Direct Acting
positioner, the minimum or 0 psi of pressure is applied and the
valve spring holds the valve into the failure mode position (FO or
FC). With 20 mA applied, the direct acting actuator has maximum
pressure applied to the actuator from the positioner moving it to
the 100 % position and the opposite of the failure position.
Reverse acting actuators respond opposite of direct acting
actuators with 4 to 20 mA signals applied.
QV: This is the position feedback variable (0 % to 100 %). The
position feedback variable should agree closely with the Setpoint
variable (SV). If it does not, the positioner should be calibrated to
better match the position of the valve or repair is required.
To run the manual test:
1. Push the , and to change the valve position and
the mA output.
2. Manually compare the variable to what is expected.
Note
When the Valve Test is set to ON (Figure 13),
changes the mA signals to step with stops at 3.8 mA,
4.2 mA, 19.8 mA, and 20.2 mA to make manual valve
testing easier (see Valve Test).
Speed Test
The Speed Test is a test of the time it takes to open and close the
valve.
To set up the expected time to cycle the valve in seconds from
10 seconds and up:
1. Move the cursor to the digit to change.
2. Rotate the selection knob to change the time value.
3. Push the selection knob to input the change.
Figure 54. Speed Test
To run the test:
1. Push to start the test.
• Good test result: the position variable is as expected.
• Marginal test result: the position variable value is found to
be close to the test tolerance.
• Bad test result: the position variable deviation values vary
greater than the tolerance.
2. Select Save to save the test results and upload later to the

Bump/Partial Test
The Bump/Partial Test is a test of the valve over a smaller portion
of the stroke, or bump the mA value, to find if the valve moves as
expected. This is also done with a Manual Test of the position or
other values.
To set up:
1. Set the start and stop stroke values in % of travel.

To run the test:
1. Push to start the test.
