indicators or any input devices that measure thermocouple sensors.

1)  Disconnect  the  RTD  sensor  from  the  device  to 

be calibrated.

2)  Select “

3)  Connect  the  PIECAL  510B/511B  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

Choose this function to provide a simulated RTD signal into controllers, temperature transmitters, 
indicators or any other input device that measure thermocouple sensors..

1)  Store your high (SPAN) output temperature by moving the EZ-CHECK switch to the 

HI

 position 

and turn the 

e

 EZ-Dial knob until the desired temperature is on the display. Press and hold the 

EZ-Dial knob until 

STORED

 appears to store the value. Release the EZ-Dial knob.

2)  Store your low (ZERO) output temperature by moving the EZ-CHECK switch to the 

LO

 position 

and turn the 

e

 EZ-Dial knob until the desired temperature is on the display. Press and hold the 

EZ-Dial knob until 

STORED

 appears to store the value. Release the EZ-Dial knob.

3)  Instantly  output  your  SPAN  and  ZERO  temperature  outputs  by  moving  the  EZ-CHECK  switch 

between HI and LO. You may also select any third temperature output (such as mid-range) using 
the SET position on the EZ-CHECK switch.
