Quick Links

• Easy to use
With the PIECAL 211 you can check & calibrate all
your RTD instruments and measure RTD Sensors.
Automatic indication of connections on the display
for simple hookups.
• Take it 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 decade box and RTD
resistance tables. The PIECAL 211 works with the
RTDs you use including Platinum 100 (alpha =
3850, 3902, 3926) & 1000 (alpha = 3850, 3750)
Ohm, Copper 10 & 50 Ohm, and Nickel 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.
• 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, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25,
30 and 60 seconds.
• 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.
• Measure RTD Sensors
Troubleshoot sensor connections and find broken wires with patented technology. Connect your
two, three or four wire RTDs and the PIECAL 211 automatically detects the connections and
measures the RTD in degrees C or F.

Menu will automatically exit after 30 seconds of > EXIT (2/2) inactivity. AUTO OFF BACKLIGHT AUTO OFF - If AUTO OFF is ON, the unit will turn off after 30 STEPS minutes of inactivity to save battery life.
  • Page 5 Storing EZ-CHECK Outputs STORING HI and LO EZ-CHECK Outputs Choose this function to select commonly used temperature output values, and set high and low values for stepping. 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.
  • Page 6 Connections Connecting 2, 3 or 4 Wire instruments or sensors The PIECAL 211 has four standard banana jacks for 2, 3 or 4 wire instruments or sensors. All connections are made at the top of the calibrator where the jacks are numbered for ease of use. SOURCE Plug in the 2, 3 or 4 wires to match the connection on the instrument being calibrated.
  • Page 7 Calibrating RTD Instruments SOURCE Choose this function to provide a simulated RTD signal into controllers, temperature transmitters, indicators or any input devices that measure RTD sensors. 1) Disconnect the RTD sensor from the device to be calibrated. 2) Select “SOURCE” with slide switch 3) Connect the PIECAL 211 to the device using 2, 3 or 4 wires matching the connections of the 3 2 2 - 1...
  • Page 8 Reading RTD Sensors 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 3) Place the EZ-CHECK switch into the READ position. 4) Connect the PIECAL 211 to the device using 2, 3 or 4 wires.
  • Page 9: Troubleshooting Rtd Sensors

    The PIE 211 automatically detects 2, 3 and 4 wire RTD connections with a patented circuit. It will also display the connections on the display and indicate when there is a missing connection due to a loose connector, corrosion or a broken wire.
