SOURCE
Choose this function to provide a simulated thermocouple signal into controllers, temperature
transmitters, indicators or any input devices that measure thermocouple sensors..
1) Disconnect the thermocouple sensor from the
device to be calibrated.
2) Select “ SOURCE” with slide switch w .
3) Connect a thermocouple wire (matching the type
of wire to sensor being simulated) with miniature
male T/C connector to the inputs of the device
being calibrated, making sure to check polarity.
Millivolt outputs (without cold junction) may be
connected with a copper (white) miniature T/C
connector or the banana jacks with copper wire.
The output is adjusted in 0.1° (or 0.001 mV)
increments by turning the knob
e while the
EZ-CHECK™ switch q is in the “HI”, “LO” or “SET”
position. Press and turn the knob for faster dialing
with 10° (or 0.100) increments.
The OVERLOAD indicator will light if excessive
voltage or current is detected by the calibrator.

READ
Choose this function to measure temperatures with a thermocouple probe or sensor.
1) Disconnect the thermocouple sensor from any other device.
2) Select “
READ” with slide switch w .
3) Place the EZ-CHECK switch into the READ position.
4) Connect a thermocouple probe (matching the type of wire to sensor being measured) with min-
iature male T/C connector to the sensor. Millivolt outputs (without cold junction) are connected
with a copper (white) miniature thermocouple connector or to the banana jacks with cooper wire.
The PIECAL 322 measures the temperature signal and constantly updates the display with the
current temperature reading. Move the EZ-CHECK switch to MAX to see the highest temperature
reading and to MIN to see the lowest temperature reading. Press and hold the knob
e to clear the
MAX and MIN readings.
The OVERLOAD indicator will light if excessive voltage or current is detected by the calibrator.
