PIE 211 Automated RTD Calibrator

PIE 211 RTD Calibrator Automated

The PIE 211 Multiple RTD Type Calibrator is functionally equivalent to similar calibrators with five digit displays, knobs and switches. The PIECAL 211 gives you advantages of an updated design while maintaining the familiar, time proven ease of use of similar calibrators. Choose the Practical Instrument Electronic 211 and get an RTD calibrator with a backlit display, a rubber boot and rugged switches. The PIE 211 Multiple RTD Type Calibrator is functionally equivalent to similar calibrators with five digit displays, knobs and switches.

The Practical Instrument Electronics (PIE) 211 automated RTD calibrator can be used to check and calibrate all RTD instruments and measure RTD sensors with automatic indication of connections on the display for simple hookups. The PIE 211 comes with a rubber boot and a rugged, low-profile switch for protection and its backlit display makes it easy to use in poorly lit areas.

With the PIE 211 automated RTD calibrator, there’s no need for a decade box and RTD resistance tables. PIE 211 calibrators work with many RTDs, including Platinum 100 (alpha = 3850, 3902, 3926) & 1000 (alpha = 3850, 3750), Copper 10 & 50Ω, Nickel 100 & 120Ω. You can quickly set any value to within 0.1° with the adjustable digital potentiometer dial, plus store any three temperatures for instant recall.

Another feature of the PIE 211 automated RTD calibrator is the automatic output stepping. Choose between 2, 3, 5, 11 and 21 steps to automatically increment the output in 100%, 50%, 25%, 10% or 5% of span. Select the step time to match your system from 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 60 seconds. Lastly, you can troubleshoot sensor connections by connecting two, three or four wire RTDs and the PIE 211 will automatically detect the connection and measure the RTD.

The PIE 211 is manufactured in the USA and ships complete with rubber boot, four “AA” alkaline batteries, certificate of calibration, small carrying case, and evolution wire kit.

Advantages of the PIECAL 211 over the Altek 211

• Compatible with Newer Instrumentation: Works with Rosemount & Honeywell Smart Transmitters, PLCs, DCSs, Multi-channel Recorders and other pulsed excitation devices. Higher accuracy at low excitation curents.
• Automatic Stepping
• Larger Display with Backlight: Easy viewing in dark locations
• More Resistant to Accidental Damage: Rubber Boot and Stronger Switches
• Separate Battery Compartment: No more removing housing with screwdriver to replace batteries Calibration seals remain intact
• Easily Change RTD Types: Reconfigure without resetting calibrator
• Includes Certificate of Calibration: All PIECAL Calibrators come with a free signed and dated certificate. Altek’s come only with an unsigned Statement of Calibration Practices with a certificate of calibration available for an extra charge.
