READ

Choose this function to measure temperatures with an RTD probe or sensor.

1) Disconnect the RTD sensor from any other device.
2) Select “

READ

” with slide switch 

w

.

3) Place the EZ-CHECK switch into the READ position.
4) Connect the PIECAL 211 to the device using 2, 3 or 4 wires.

The PIECAL 211 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.
