EZ-Check™ Switch

SOURCE/OFF/READ Switch  
Slide the SOURCE/OFF/READ Switch to SOURCE to  
output a mA signal and to do 2 - wire transmitter  
simulation. Use the READ position to read mA signal and  
power & measure 2 – wire transmitter.  
SOURCE mode: Slide the switch to select from Hi and low range pre-  
set values and the mid ranger (Dial) is selectable. Dial the mid range  
value and it will store the value with-in 5 seconds automatically.  
READ mode: Slide the switch to recall minimum and maximum  
readings. Press the EZ-Dial™ Knob to clear the stored values.  
EZ-Dial™ Knob  
Turn the knob to change display in 0.01mA increments.  
Push and turn for faster dialing. Push without turning to  
clear EZ-Check™ HI/LO points in READ mode.

HART® Protocol  
An internal jumper enables the Power & Measure 2 – wire  
transmitter mode to be compatible with HART®  
communicators and transmitters.  
EZ-Dial™ Knob  
Adjust the output up and down with the EZ-Dial™ knob. The increment is 0.01 mA (or 0.1 % if display units are % of 4-20 mA.)  
Press while turning to adjust 10X faster – 0.10 mA (or 1.00 %.)  
Quick Reference Bar Graph  
The Quick Reference Bar Graph indicates the input and output level to the CL531 in % of 4-20 mA with 1.0% resolution. If the  
input or output signal is outside the normal operating range of the CL531 the Quick Reference Bar Graph in source mode will  
flash, in Read mode display over range when above 24.5mA.  
Error Conditions  
Bar Graph will flash when any error conditions exist.  
HART® Protocol  
Remove the back of the case and remove the jumper that is located in position J6 on the PC board. By doing so it places a 250Ω  
resister in series with the output of the CL531. This internal resister eliminates the need to add an external load resister when  
communicating with a HART® transmitter. This reduces the typical drive capability to 950 Ω.

EZ-Check  
Switch  
The EZ-Check™ switch has three positions -- high, dial, and low. Its position is shown at the left edge of the display with “HI” and  
“LO” indicators. Neither indicator indicates the middle position. Use of the EZ-Check™ switch depends on mode.  
Source Modes:  
Slide the EZ-Check™ switch to the HI and LO positions to recall the preset settings (Hi=20.00mA & Lo=4.00mA).  
Hint: For faster calibrations, the position of the switch can be felt. This feature allows continuous monitoring of the device  
being calibrated without looking back at the CL531 display. This is also useful in poor lighting or under difficult operating  
conditions.  
Read Modes:  
In read mode, the CL531 calibrator records the maximum and minimum readings observed in each mode. Slide the EZ-  
Check™ switch to the Dial position to read the loop. Then Slide the EZ-Check™ switch to the HI and LO positions to display  
to clear the readings. The display will flash “CLEARED” to confirm.

Source mode uses internal power to supply current from 0.00-24.00 mA into as much as 1200Ω until the end of battery life. The  
calibrator Graph will flash if connected improperly. The three-position EZ-Check switch provides instant preset 4mA at zero, 12mA at  
mid range and 20mA at full scale outputs. The output is adjusted in 0.01 or 0.10 mA increments (0.1 or 1.0) % display units with  
the EZ-Dial knob.

CL531 Field Calibration Procedure  
1. Precision Current Meter with accuracy of 0.025% at 20mA.  
2. Precision Current Source with accuracy of 0.025% at 20mA  
Place in fresh batteries and allow one hour for the CL531 to stabilize to the ambient  
temperature. Remove the battery cover and the Phillips head screws. While holding the CL531  
face up in one hand, carefully separate the top and bottom of the housing. Place the unit into  
d
calibration mode by putting the switch into the OFF position and shorting the calibration via labele  
on the PCB with a shorting jumper or tweezers. Verify the CL531 is in calibration mode by  
viewing the LCD for the words “CALIBRATION REQUIRED”.  
Turn the CL531 on by moving the on/off switch to either “Read” or “Source”. Connect the  
CL531 terminals to a Current Source.  
1. Slide the EZ-Check™ Switch to the LO position indicated by displaying a “LO” on the  
left side of the LCD.  
2. Set the current source to 0.000 mA.  
3. Press and hold the EZ-Dial in for a few seconds.  
4. The display will flash “STORED” to confirm that the displayed calibration constant  
value was stored.  
1. Slide the EZ-Check™ Switch to the HI position indicated by displaying a “HI” on the  
left side of the LCD.  
2. Set the current source to 20.000 mA.  
3. Press and hold the EZ-Dial in for a few seconds.  
4. The display will flash “STORED” to confirm that the displayed calibration constant  
value was stored.  
CL  
Turn the unit off then back on to source mode by putting the on/off switch in the high position.  
Connect the Model 531 terminals to a Current Meter.  
1. Slide the EZ-Check™ Switch to the LO position indicated by displaying a “LO” on the  
left side of the LCD.  
2. Allow the current meter to settle and for the microprocessor to store 4mA.  
1. Slide the EZ-Check™ Switch to the HI position indicated by displaying a “HI” on the  
left side of the LCD.  
2. Allow the current meter to settle and for the microprocessor to store 20mA.  
Check the linearity calibration in source mode by dialing the Model 531 from 4.00mA to 4.01mA.  
If the linearity is calibrated correctly the unit will go from 4.00mA to 4.01mA. If this fails, repeat  
the calibration from the start.  
This is the completion of calibration.
