Product 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.
