SOURCE
Choose this function to provide a simulated RTD signal into controllers, temperature transmitters,
indicators or any input devices that measure thermocouple sensors.
1) Disconnect the RTD sensor from the device to
be calibrated.
2) Select “
SOURCE
” with slide switch
w
.
3) Connect the PIECAL 211 to the device using 2,
3 or 4 wires matching the connections of the
sensor that was just removed.
The output is adjusted in 0.1° (or 0.01/0.1 ohm)
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 1.00/10.0 ohm) increments.
The OVERLOAD indicator will light if excessive
voltage or current is detected by the calibrator.

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.
