The operator can select the loop type, and also the type of units, either direct (mA) or % of span display. The loop signal is shown on an easy-to-read LCD display to an accuracy of 0.05% either in mA, V, or % of span. It is a cost-effective process instrument suitable for service and maintenance engineers. It combines simple operation with the accuracy required for most process applications. Used in conjunction with the 7006 LoopMate 1 they provide full process loop testing capabilities, facilitating quick location of faults, testing and re-calibration. In addition to TxTest (transmitter test) and RxSim (receiver simulation) the 7007 can be used to measure DC voltage in the process loop up to 50 V. The unit is powered by a PP3 type battery. Rechargeable batteries can be used if required. It comes complete with carrying pouch, leads and user manual. 7007 Loop-Mate 2 Loop Signal Indicator Page 5 of 25 Time Electronics 7007 Loop-Mate 2 Loop Signal Indicator 1.3 Specifications User Manual v1.1 Functions Ranges RxSim, TxTest, Meas Volt DC.

Page 8 of 25 Time Electronics 7007 Loop-Mate 2 Loop Signal Indicator User Manual v1.1 Tx (transmitter): This component converts physical signals such as pressure, temperature, flow, and level etc, into the loop signals (4 - 20 mA or 0 - 10 V). Rx (receiver): This component measures the loop signal and either displays it (indicator) or converts it to another form e.g. digital output for control purposes, (controller). Process Controllers: This device usually contains both Rx (signal loop) and Tx (control loop) components, which operate in separate loops. The Rx and Tx can be either 4 - 20 mA or 0 - 10 V. Loop excitation supply: A DC power supply (nominally 24 V) that drives the loop. 7007 Loop-Mate 2 Loop Signal Indicator Page 9 of 25 Time Electronics 7007 Loop-Mate 2 Loop Signal Indicator User Manual v1.1 3.4 Rx Sim function The unit displays the loop current in either mA (0-50 mA) or percentage of span (4-20 mA), depending on the position of the display select switch. 3.4.1 Operation 1.

Types that can be used are Zinc Carbon (250mAh), Alkaline (450mAh), Lithium (1200mAh) and rechargeable (150mAh). For best performance Lithium batteries are recommended. Under typical usage an Alkaline (450mA) battery will last for approximately 14 - 16 hours of continuous operation. Assuming the Loop-Mate2 is used for approximately 3 hours per day the batteries will last for a week or more. Continuous operation on the TxTest function will shorten the battery life. The unit will display `low battery' when the battery voltage is too low. At this point replacement of the battery is necessary. It is recommended that a spare battery be always carried in the compartment provided in the carrying pouch. 4.2 Battery replacement Slide off the back cover of the case and remove the battery from its compartment. Unclip the battery and replace it with a new PP3 as shown below. Then slide the battery cover back into place. 7007 Loop-Mate 2 Loop Signal Indicator Page 13 of 25 Time Electronics 7007 Loop-Mate 2 Loop Signal Indicator 5 Maintenance User Manual v1.1 5.1 Calibration 5.1.1 Calibration equipment required Precision DC current source (Time Electronics 1024 for example).
