Description
- Easy to use –With the PIECAL 422 you can check & calibrate all your thermocouple instruments and measure thermocouple sensors.
- Take it without into the shop, plant or field – Carry it without worry – it comes protected with a rubber boot and rugged, low profile switch. 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 millivolt source and thermocouple tables. The PIECAL 422 works with the thermocouples you use including types J, T, E, K, R, S, B, N, G, C, D, L (J-DIN), U (T-DIN) and Platinel II. 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.
- Calibrate quickly with 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.
- Compatible with all process instruments – Connect directly to the thermocouple inputs of smart transmitters, PLCs, DCS and multichannel recorders and verify their outputs or displays.
- Measure Thermocouple Sensors – Trouble shoot sensor connections and find broken wires. The PIECAL 422 measures the thermocouple in degrees C or F. Secondary display shows the millivolt value corresponding to the thermocouple temperature as well as the cold junction temperature measured by the calibrator.
- Evolutionary design – PIECAL Calibrators are designed and built by members of the same team that designed and built the calibrators manufactured by Fluke* under the Altek* label. The PIECAL 422 improves upon other brands by including a rubber boot, tilt stand, backlit display with larger digits, rugged switches and a battery compartment for fast battery changes.
Advantages of the PIECAL 422 over the Altek 422
