LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and
service. The warranty period is one year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and
services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of
a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in
Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance
with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media.
Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers
only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is
available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the
applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of
repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair,
or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the
warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return
authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty,
postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following
warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke
determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal
condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product’s
specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair
costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to
the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges
(FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not
apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other
decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision.

Introduction
The Fluke Calibration 8270A/8370A High-Pressure Modular Controller (the
Product) precisely measure and control pneumatic pressures up to 44 MPa
(6300 psi) and 107 MPa (15 500 psi), respectively. Use the Product to calibrate,
characterize, or test a wide variety of pressure measurement devices that include
transmitters, gauges, and switches.
The Product uses interchangeable Pressure Measurement Modules (PMMs) and
a Pressure Control Module (PCM) to regulate pressure output. The touchscreen
display features a multi-language user interface (UI). See Instrument Setup Menu
for more information.

Safety Information
A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user.
A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the
Product or the equipment under test.
XWWarnings
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
Only assemble and operate high-pressure systems if you
know the correct safety procedures. High-pressure liquids
and gases are hazardous and the energy from them can be
released without warning.
Read all safety information before you use the Product.
Carefully read all instructions.
Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in
damp or wet environments.
Do not operate the Product with covers removed or the case
open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible. Pressure
modules may be exchanged through the front panel while
the Product is turned on.
Use this Product indoors only.
Do not put the Product where access to the mains power
cord is blocked.
Use only the mains power cord and connector approved for
the voltage and plug configuration in your country and rated
for the Product.
Make sure the ground conductor in the mains power cord is
connected to a protective earth ground. Disruption of the
protective earth could put voltage on the chassis that could
cause death.
Replace the mains power cord if the insulation is damaged
or if the insulation shows signs of wear.
Use the Product only as specified, or the protection
supplied by the Product can be compromised.
Before the Product is used to apply pressure, ensure the
integrity of all components to be pressurized and make sure
they are rated to adequate working pressure.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the
terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.
Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or
60 V dc.

Product Placement
XWWarnings
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, do
not restrict access to the Product mains power cord. The mains
power cord is the mains disconnecting device. If access to the
power cord is inhibited by rack mounting, a properly-rated
accessible mains disconnecting switch must be provided within
reach as part of the installation.
To prevent possible personal injury:
Use good lifting practices when lifting or moving the
Product. The Product is an unbalanced load and can weigh
as much as 20 kg (44 lb).
Use two handles to lift and carry the Product.
Use the Product on a bench or in a standard 19 inch equipment rack. Purchase a
rack mount kit to install the Product into an equipment rack. For bench-top use,
install the Product on a flat, stable surface at a convenient height. The front feet
can be extended to incline the Product for easier viewing.
Minimize the distance between the Product and the device or system under test
to enhance control performance and reduce pressure settling times.
For installation, the Product requires:
An electrical power source of 100 V ac to 240 V ac, 47 Hz to 63 Hz.
A continuous, regulated pressure supply of clean, dry, non-corrosive gas at
10 % greater than the highest pressure range should be connected to the
Product SUPPLY port. For optimal control performance, the supply pressure
should be no greater than 100 times the full scale of the active measurement
range. Never exceed the maximum pressure of the Product chassis.
A vacuum source of 7 kPa (1 psi) absolute and with a displacement of at
least 90 L/min (3 cfm) if controlling pressures <7 kPa (1 psi) gauge (8270A
only).

Connect to Mains Power
XWWarning
To prevent shock hazard, connect the factory-supplied three-
conductor mains power cord to a properly-grounded power
outlet. Do not use a two-conductor adapter or extension cord,
as it will break the protective ground connection.
Mains Voltage
To power the Product, mains voltage ranging from 100 V ac to 240 V ac with
frequencies from 47 Hz to 63 Hz is required.
The Product comes with the appropriate line power plug for the country of
purchase. If a different type is necessary, refer to Table 3 for a list that shows the
mains line power plug types available from Fluke Calibration.
