Introducing the PIE 334PLUS Automated 4-20mA Loop Calibrator
The PIE 334PLUS Automated 4-20mA Loop Calibrator is a sophisticated tool designed specifically for maintenance and troubleshooting of current loop systems in process control applications. This highly effective instrument provides a reliable power source for 2-wire transmitters, allowing users to conduct simultaneous power and signal readings for thorough testing.
Equipped with innovative loop diagnostic technology, the PIE 334PLUS is capable of swiftly identifying ground faults and current leakage issues. Its user-friendly features include automatic output stepping and ramping functionalities: simply press and hold the dial to step automatically through 4-20 mA in increments of two, three, or five steps, or select a continuous ramp mode for more fluid testing.
The PIE 334PLUS excels in calibrating devices such as recorders, digital indicators, and stroke valves that operate on a 4-20mA signal. Its precision is unmatched, allowing users to set any value quickly with an adjustable digital potentiometer “DIAL” that adjusts to within 0.001 mA. For added convenience, it also includes preset EZ-CHECK settings at 4.000 mA (0.00%) and 20.000 mA (100.00%).
With a large, backlit display showcasing clear digits, the PIE 334PLUS ensures easy visibility in various lighting conditions. The device incorporates a built-in menu-selectable 250-ohm resistor, making it compatible with HART communication protocols widely used in process automation. This feature enhances its versatility and functionality in diverse operational environments.
