1. Introduction

The MCAL 4200 Multifunction Process Calibrator is a handheld, battery-operated instrument
that measures and sources electrical and physical parameters. The calibrator has the following
features and functions:
• A dual display. The upper display is used for the measurement of volts, current, and pressure.
The lower display can be used to measure volts, current, pressure, resistance temperature
detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, frequency, and resistance, and to source pulse trains.
• A thermocouple (TC) input/output terminal with automatic reference-junction temperature
compensation.
• Five setpoints in each range for increasing/decreasing output.
• An interactive menu.
• Complete RS232 interface for remote control.
• Isolated read back for transmitter calibration.
