PIE 820 Elite Multifunction Diagnostic Calibrator

Overview

The PIE 820-Elite upgrades the multifunction platform with higher resolution and diagnostic loop tools. Source and read 0.000 to 24.000 mA, voltage from millivolts through process levels, frequency, pH (0.000 to 14.000 pH @ 25 °C), ohms/RTD, and thermocouples—with patented Ground Leak Detection to find current that is not controlled by the transmitter.

Headline accuracies include ≤ ±(0.02% of reading + 0.003 mA) for milliamp, ≤ ±(0.02% of reading + 0.01 mV) for thermocouples with ±0.05 °C cold-junction compensation, and ≤ ±(0.02% of reading + 0.075 Ω) for 3- and 4-wire RTD. pH simulation accuracy is ≤ ±0.003 pH @ 25 °C.

Designed for technicians who need one tool for transmitters, analyzers, and temperature loops. Made in the USA with NIST-traceable Certificate of Calibration.

Features (PIE)

PIE lists the 820Elite functions as mA, V, TC, ohms, RTD, Hz, pH and pressure.

• Milliamps and volts: source and read to 24 mA, millivolts (−20.000 to 99.999 mV and −500.00 to 999.99 mV source) and DC volts (read to 60 V). Simulate 2-wire transmitters, power loops from the built-in 24 V supply, and use the built-in 250 Ω resistor for HART hookups.
• Loop diagnostics: patented ground-fault and current-leak detection (US Patent 7,248,058).
• Temperature: thermocouple types J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, G, C, D, L (J DIN), U (T DIN) and P (Platinel II); RTD types Pt 100 Ω (3850, 3902, 3916, 3926) and Pt 1000 Ω (3850), Cu 10 and 50 Ω, Ni 110 and 120 Ω.
• Frequency: source and read to 2000 CPM, 999.99 Hz, 9999.9 Hz and 20.000 kHz, for flow and vibration systems.
• pH: source 0.000 to 14.000 pH at 25 °C (77 °F), corresponding to +414.12 to −414.12 mV.
• Pressure: with optional PIE digital pressure modules (32 modules for gauge, differential, compound and absolute pressure).
• Continuity: built-in beeper checks wiring.
• Stepping and ramping: store three outputs on the EZ-CHECK switch; step in 2, 3, 5 or 11 steps (100%, 50%, 25% or 10% of span) or ramp between zero and span.
• Read mode: recall MAX and MIN values to see process variability. Menus match PIE's single-function Evolution calibrators, and display icons show where to plug in the leads.

Included (PIE)

Rubber boot, deluxe hands-free carrying case and mV/RTD test leads (020-0820).

For pressure, see PIE pressure modules and the PIE PM-50 wireless pressure module (cable 020-0108 connects it to the 820Elite). Spare leads and cases are on our PIE calibrator accessories page. PIE publishes a comparison of the PIE 820Elite with the Altek 820.
