measurement (including HART communication), electrical output, temperature measurement, simulate temperature
output, AC voltage measurement, external channel A (only displayed when the module is connected), external channel B
(only displayed when the module is connected), and differential pressure module channel (displayed only when the DP
module is enabled).
24
3. Calibrator
ADT227 calibrator can be used to calibrate pressure, loop, temperature and flow equipment. The two channels can
be displayed in one page. The channel 1 at the top of the screen is used for electrical signal measurement, HART,
temperature signal measurement and external pressure module measurement. The channel 2 at the bottom of the screen
is used for electrical and temperature signal output, external pressure module measurement. Both two functions support a
variety of electrical signal types.
The measured or output signal value is displayed in the middle of the channel. The icon of the signal type and the
corresponding range information is displayed on the upper left, click this icon to pop up a menu for switching the signal
type; Click the icon in the upper right corner to set the current channel in the pop-up menu; Click the icon in the
lower right corner to zero the current channel. If the signal type selected in the channel has multiple values for display (for
example, when measuring the TC temperature signal, in addition to the temperature value, there are also the original
millivolt signal value and the cold junction temperature value), the channel will also display these signal values below the
main signal value.

3.1.3 Switch measurement
The wiring method of the switch measurement function is the same as the voltage measurement, please connect
correctly as shown in the figure 6. Then switch the measurement signal of channel 1 to switch measurement.
The switch measurement can work with channel 2, the calibrator can display the measured value of channel 2 when
the switch action occurs. For example: channel 1 selects switch measurement, channel 2 selects external pressure
module for pressure measure. At this time, when the switch channel detects the on-off state change, it will record the
pressure value of channel 2 at this time. In this case, the device can be used to calibrate a typical pressure switch device.
Click the switch icon in channel 1 and click the "on-off data" option in the channel menu on the right, user can view the last
10 records in the pop-up on-off data display page.
3.1.4 Pulse measurement
The wiring method of the pulse measurement function is the same as the voltage measurement, please connect
correctly as shown in the figure 6. Then switch the measurement signal to pulse measurement (0 ~9999999) Pulse.
Pulse measurement allows the user to set the pulse counting method. In the pulse measurement mode, enter the
setting menu to select the counting method.
3.1.5 Frequency measurement
The wiring method of the frequency measurement function is the same as the voltage measurement, please connect
correctly as shown in the figure 6. Then switch the measurement signal to frequency measurement (0.01~50k) Hz.

3.4 HART calibration
The device provides HART bus communication, using the simplified DD file, provide general settings, service and
calibration for HART temperature and pressure transmitters. It is recommended to read the transmitter’s manual before
use.
Note: the calibrator will always be the master during communicating with the HART device. In order to avoid harm to
the controlling system, please separate the HART device from the controlling system before connecting the calibrator with
the HART device.

3.4.1 Search and connection
Switch to HART on the Calibrator page, the calibrator will automatically use the last selected power supply
configuration (default is the internal resistance and internal source), and search for the address "0". After searching for the
HART device, it will automatically connect and display its value. Click the menu icon to select search, or click the
35
HART measurement channel screen when the HART device is not connected to enter the HART power supply
configuration interface. The configuration provided by the calibrator is as Figure 10, 11 and 12.
After selecting the configuration, go to the search interface. Start searching for HART devices from address "0", if the
search is success, it will stop searching and display the HART device list and main information, otherwise the calibrator
will start searching from address "1" until address "15", After completing the search, the calibrator will list all the searched
HART devices, and can display up to 15 HART devices at the same time.

Sensor adjustment is to adjust the PV of the transmitter, usually including one or two adjustment points (lower point
and upper point). Some transmitters do not support this (please refer to the transmitter's manual).
Lower point adjustment
(1) First provide external standard source to the transmitter manually. After stabilized, input the standard source
display value directly by the number keys; For the pressure transmitter, the standard source display value can be
directly obtained through the external pressure module. In this case, click the Get icon on the calibration page to
get the standard value of the pressure module directly.
Note: For some transmitters, it is not needed to input the adjustment value, the transmitter automatically uses the upper and lower
limits of the range (the lower limit of the range corresponds to the lower point adjustment value, and the upper limit of the range
corresponds to the upper point adjustment value) as the adjustment value. In this case, just input any value;
(2) Execute the Trim command. After that, the PV value will change according to the trimmed point value.
Upper point adjustment
Same as the lower point adjustment.
Single point adjustment
Same as the lower point adjustment.
Restore to factory setting
After selecting "Restore Factory", there will come to ask "Are you sure to perform this operation?", click OK to continue.
After that, the transmitter's lower and upper points values will be restored to the factory setting.
Note: The current loop test and D/A adjustment is only available when the transmitter address is 0.
Note: The sensor adjustment provides corresponding support items according to the transmitter function.
Note: If the HART transmitter used does not have all the above functions, contact the manufacturer.

The calibrator provides a variety of electrical signal output and analog temperature output functions to cope with
various usage scenarios and different devices under test.
The output function of the calibrator not only supports manual setting of set points for signal output, but also provides
two automatic output functions: automatic ramp output and automatic step output, and two convenient manual output
functions: manual step output and manual fine-tuning output.

3.5.8 Ramp output
The three electrical output features of voltage, current, and frequency of the calibrator and the two simulate
temperature output features of simulate thermocouple and simulate thermal resistance all support automatic ramp output
mode. The Ramp can increase or decrease the output value smoothly and continuously. In fact, a small step value is used
to form a Ramp signal, which is represented by a Ramp gradient in the calibrator. The calibrator will automatically
calculate the Ramp gradient according to the setting start and end values of the Ramp and the rise and fall time. When the
start value and end value are fixed, the longer the ramp time, the slower the ramp output and the smaller the ramp
gradient.
A complete ramp output stroke includes an up stroke (from the start value ramp to the end value) and a down stroke
(from the end value ramp to the start value), when the rise time and fall time are the same, the actual output points of the
up stroke and the down stroke are symmetrical one by one. Click icon to select ramp output and go to the settings, as
shown in Table 16.

8. HART Communicator
The calibrator provides a full HART communicator function, using the native HART DD file. The calibrator can be used
to complete the maintenance and commissioning of almost all HART temperature and pressure device, including
parameter modification, fault diagnosis, and daily maintenance and calibration, etc. Concerning that the operation of the
communicator on the HART device depends on the DD file, the operation varies a lot between different HART devices, so
please refer to the manual of the HART device before using the function.
Note: The calibrator always acts as the master station during the communication with the HART device. Therefore, in order to avoid
harm to the control system, the HART device must be separated from the control system before using the calibrator to connect to the
HART device.
