Multi-Function Tester offers simulation module.

Press Release Summary:



Designed for use with Series 4000 Multi-Function Tester, Model VMA0055 provides voltage/current measurement and simulation. Measurement ranges include ±500 mV, ±55 V, and ±100 mA, and simulation output signals include ranges of 0-24 V and 0-24 mA. Module will also simulate transmitter outputs when connected to loop, or it can be used to temporarily supply 24 Vdc loop power to device without source power during commissioning or calibration activities.



Original Press Release:


New, VMA0055 Measure/Simulate MODULE from Meriam Process Technologies Features the Functionality of a Digital Voltmeter and Loop Calibrator - for Use with MFT 400 Series Calibrator/Communicator


The VMA0055 is a voltage and current measurement and simulation module for use with the Meriam handheld Multi-Function Tester (MFT) 4000 Series. The MFT's software provides valuable features including mA sourcing, transmitter output simulation, and loop power sourcing. Measurement ranges include ±500 mV, ±55 V, and ±100 mA. Simulation output signals include ranges of 0-24 V and 0-24mA.

The VMA module will also simulate transmitter outputs when connected to a loop or it can be used to temporarily supply 24V dc loop power to a device without source power during commissioning or calibration activities. VMA0055 extends measurement capability beyond the ±50 volts / mA measurement limit of MFT base unit.

The MFT is a combination calibrator and HART communicator with a modular design that features three bays that accept sensor/simulation modules that support several ranges of pressure. T/C and RTD temperature, and mA/Voltage signals.

The MFT supports full calibration, configuration and electronic documentation. When the MFT is interfaced with Meriam's Device Management System (DMS) software it provides a complete set of tools for the commissioning and maintenance of intelligent field devices for asset optimization in the process industry.

Meriam Process Technologies provides products and solutions for precision measurement and is a recognized leader in calibration instrumentation.
