• Easy to use
With the PIECAL 322 you can check & calibrate all your
thermocouple instruments and measure thermocouple
sensors.
• Take it with you into the shop, plant or field
Carry it without worry - it comes protected with a rubber
boot and rugged, low profile switches. 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 322 works with the thermocouples
you use including types J, T, E and K. 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 steps and ramp to
automatically increment the output in 100%, 50%, 25%,
10% of span or continuously ramp between span and
zero. Select the step time to match your system from 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 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 322 measures the
thermocouple in degrees C or F.
• Calibration Lab Accurate & Stable
The internal cold junction thermistor is accurate to ±0.1°C and is traceable to NIST. The sensor
is thermally bonded to an isothermal mass which includes brass blocks with screw terminals for
connection of bare thermocouple wires along with a miniature thermocouple connector for fast
Connections. The circuitry uses an extremely stable voltage reference and low drift components
which make the PIECAL 322 more accurate than most other handheld and benchtop
thermocouple calibrators.

  • Page 4 (without cold junction) are connected with a copper (white) miniature thermocouple connector or to the banana jacks with cooper wire. The PIECAL 322 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.
  • Page 5 Storing EZ-CHECK Outputs STORING HI and LO EZ-CHECK Outputs Choose this function to provide a simulated thermocouple 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 EZ-Dial knob until the desired temperature is on the display.
