I just started an apprenticeship in which I thought I’d be doing nothing but electrical work but instrumentation is a huge huge part of what we do. I came from a commercial and residential background so this industrial stuff is so new to me. So much to learn about these instruments it seems
Same again lol. I went from an electrical job to an instrumentation job. I thought I would be doing some electrical still as an instrument tech but that was not true at all and I have to learn a lot about instrumentation lol. These videos help a lot!
Could you do a tutorial using a Hart 475 with a Fluke simulator and press pump to do loop tests/simulations and calibrations on Rosemount flow, pressure, level and temp?

Hi James, The 789 will allow you to source and simulate 4-20mA current loops, if you work with industrial instrumentation then its the best version to go for. If you don't need that functionality then save yourself some money and go for the 117. If you do decide on either option please consider using my affiliate link in the description to amazon. It won't cost you anymore and helps my channel out :)
@@InstrumentationControl I’ll gladly support you. However I think I need one somewhere in the middle. Can you recommend one that can simply read 4-20mA and do you have a video on how to do so?
@@BoandBeceadventures It sounds like the Fluke 179 would be ideal for you James, it reads down to 0.01 mA on DC loops. Here's a link for you to use (my affiliate) amzn.to/3bYFfzF as for how to take a mA measurement if you look at my fluke 117 video there is a section for measuring mA, Its the same with the 179 only you have more resolution. The 117 only reads down to 0.001 Amps or 1 mA. No good for 4-20 loops. Hope this helps!
@@InstrumentationControl what do you think about this one and do you have a link for it Fluke 87V/IMSK Industrial Digital Multimeter with Fluke i400 Clamp Meter Combo Kit
Hi there, Yes we can have multiple devices in a single 4-20mA loop. A common use case is a field transmitter with a local digital display within the loop that is displaying the 4-20 the transmitter is controlling as well being connected to the control system for remote indication.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS >>>...You must need to connect negative terminal of transmitter to 400 mA(red probe) terminal and common probe to negative terminal of power supply to measure mA value.
This is NOT correct. Both Source and Simulate the dial remains on the Output mA setting, but the probes move between the 1st (from the left) and the 3rd. Loop power is used when you have a transmitter you want to verify is outputting the correct mA, but needs to be powered by the signal loop.

Same! I come from industrial work I went from 5 year electrical apprentice to 1st year automation totally different language!

Another useful & informative video. Keep up the nice work!
Thanks Lee. Glad you enjoy!
This is excellent! Thank you for this.
You're very welcome!
Thanks for the useful information.
Glad it was helpful!
Wooow, thanks a million times,
that was very explanatory, simple and straight to the point

Muy buen video.
Saludos!!!!
Hi Bro, may I know what is the software you use to produce all this fantastic videos? Your videos are wonderful and full of values. Thanks.
Hi there. Thanks for your kind words. The software is called video scribe.
@@InstrumentationControl It must be very time consuming and taxing to produce videos like this...tough job but you do an amazing task. Thanks a lot

Any videos for using a hart 475?

Thanks I’m trying to decide on a new meter. What’s the main differences between the 789 and 117 mentioned here please?
Hi James, The 789 will allow you to source and simulate 4-20mA current loops, if you work with industrial instrumentation then its the best version to go for.

@@InstrumentationControl thank you I will look first thing tomorrow morning and if I do purchase I will definitely use your link. Thank you again
@@InstrumentationControl what do you think about this one and do you have a link for it Fluke 87V/IMSK Industrial Digital Multimeter with Fluke i400 Clamp Meter Combo Kit
Can this meter source/simulate 0-10vdc control loop systems? Does it have a 250 or 500 ohm resistor in it? 250 0-5vdc or 500 0-10vdc?
Hi there, this meter will only source mA. Of course if you can use an external 250 / 500 ohm resistor with this meter for your voltage inputs.
thanks alot
No problem, hope it helped!
Sir can we connect single 4-20 ma to 2 sources?(i mean from single 4-20ma can we run 2things?)
Hi there, Yes we can have multiple devices in a single 4-20mA loop. A common use case is a field transmitter with a local digital display within the loop that is displaying the 4-20 the transmitter is controlling as well being connected to the control system for remote indication.
I've been a Industrial electrician for about 9 years but want to jump to being a instrument tech.. how can I start about that ?
Find a company looking to train a new instrumentation tech (hard)
Or go to school (easy but expensive)
That transmitter is a Wireless WiHart device no 4-20mA source!
This is literally the opposite of what fluke instructions say to do?
