Product Description
• Easy to use
With the PIECAL 510B/511B you can check & calibrate all your RTD instruments. Automatic
indication of connections on the display for simple hookups. Choose a single RTD type for the
Model 510B or simulate 10 RTD types with the Model 511B.
• Take it into the shop, plant or field
Carry it without worry - protect it with an optional rubber boot and rugged, low profile switches.
Easy to operate even in the dark areas of the plant with the backlit display.
• Calibrate directly in temperature (°C & °F)
Stop carrying around a decade box and RTD resistance tables. The PIECAL 510B/511B works
with the RTDs you use including Platinum 100 (alpha = 3850, 3902, 3926) & 1000 (alpha =
3850, 3750) Ohm, Copper 10 & 50 Ohm, Nickel 100 and 120 Ohm. Easily set any value quickly
to within 0.1° with the adjustable digital potentiometer “
DIAL” plus store any three temperatures
for instant recall with the EZ-CHECK™ switch.
• Compatible with all process instruments
Connect directly to the RTD inputs of smart transmitters, PLCs, DCS and multichannel recorders
and verify their outputs or displays. Works with older instruments with fixed excitation currents
and newer multichannel instruments that switch the excitation current between input channels.
