Description
Automated Thermocouple & RTD Calibrator
PIE is pleased to introduce the New Model 525B which replaces the PIE Model 525. This moves our Dual Thermocouple & RTD calibrator to the PIE Evolution enclosure with a rubber boot, tilt stand, 4 “AA” batteries and backlit display. Not only did we move the product into the new enclosure, we made a number of other improvements!
Thermocouple Connections
Simulating or reading thermocouples requires the use of thermocouple or extension grade thermocouple wire.
Plug thermocouple wires into the miniature thermocouple jack or place bare thermocouple wires onto the brass block under the screws.
The PIE 525B has two banana jacks (1+ & 2-) mounted in the top end of the housing. These are not temperature compensated and are to be used only for millivolt signals.

Screw terminal for T/C wire plus miniature T/C socket Isothermal block with ±0.05°C Cold Junction Sensor
Banana jacks for 2, 3 & 4 wire RTD

RTD Connections
Simulating or reading RTDs uses copper wire.
Plug 2, 3 or 4 wires into the corresponding jacks on the calibrator. For RTD source the PIE 525B simulates the (+) RTD from jacks 1 & 4 and the (-) RTD from jacks 2 & 3.

Troubleshooting an RTD Sensor
When measuring an RTD sensor the PIE 525B uses patented circuitry to automatically detect 2, 3 & 4 wire connections. This may also be used as a troubleshooting tool to determine if any wires from the sensor are broken. Here is an example of the 525B reading a sensor with all 4 wire connected.

Here is an example where connections are made to a 4 wire sensor and the PIE 525B indicates that only Wires 1, 2 & 4 are connected. There may be a loose connection or a break in wire 3 somewhere between the sensor and the 525B.
