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

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.
