PIE 510B RTD Simulator

Overview

The PIE 510B simulates one RTD type for checking and calibrating RTD instruments. Choose the ordering code that matches your sensors—Pt 100 (α = 3850, 3902, 3916, 3926), Pt 1000 (α = 3850 or 3750), Cu 10, Cu 50, Ni 110, or Ni 120. Calibrate directly in °C or °F, or use it like a decade box from 0.00 to 410.00 Ω and 410.1 to 4001.0 Ω.

Set any value within 0.1° with the digital dial and store three temperatures for EZ-CHECK™ recall. Compatible with smart transmitters, PLCs, DCS, and multichannel instruments with steady or pulsed excitation. Four detachable leads with spade lugs are included for easy connection.

Backlit display and rugged switches for plant or field use; optional rubber boot with tilt stand available. Made in the USA with a NIST-traceable Certificate of Calibration.

Features (PIE)

PIE describes the 510B as a single-type RTD simulator that replaces a decade box: you dial directly in temperature instead of reading RTD tables. It simulates RTD resistance into transmitters, recorders, controllers, alarms and data acquisition systems.

• Accuracy: ±0.25 °C (±0.5 °F) for Pt 100 Ω RTDs, with 0.1° resolution.
• One dedicated RTD curve: chosen when ordered (Pt 100 Ω α 1.3850, 1.3902, 1.3916 or 1.3926; Pt 1000 Ω α 1.3850 or 1.375; Cu 10 or 50 Ω; Ni 110 or 120 Ω), with °C or °F selectable.
• Compatibility: PIE states it works with pulsed-excitation devices (PLCs, DCSs, multichannel recorders) and smart transmitters, including popular Rosemount and Honeywell models.
• Controls: two-speed EZ-Dial knob; EZ-Check switch stores 0% and 100% span settings.
• Power and build: four AA alkaline batteries, typically 45 hours of continuous use; protected to 60 V.
• Certificate: NIST-traceable calibration certificate included. A rubber boot, carrying case and test data are optional.

PIE publishes a comparison of the PIE 510B with the Altek 11. Cases and boots are on our PIE calibrator accessories page.
