Stop carrying around a decade box and RTD resistance tables. The PIECAL 510B/511B works 

with the RTDs you use including Platinum 100 (alpha = 3850, 3902, 3926) & 1000 (alpha = 

3850, 3750) Ohm, Copper 10 & 50 Ohm, Nickel 100 and 120 Ohm. 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.

•   Compatible with all process instruments

Connect directly to the RTD inputs of smart transmitters, PLCs, DCS and multichannel recorders 

and verify their outputs or displays. Works with older instruments with fixed excitation currents 

and newer multichannel instruments that switch the excitation current between input channels.
