The Practical Instrument Electronics Model 522 is a complete source/read thermocouple calibrator providing direct temperature input to all types of instruments such as transmitters, recorders, controllers, alarms, data acquisition, and computer systems. The Model 522 also reads thermocouple outputs and displays temperature, eliminating the need for cumbersome books of conversion tables.
The Model 522 is equipped with a miniature T/C connector and slotted screws to connect to common thermocouple equipment or bare extension wire. Select from 8 T/C types to source/read in °C or °F with 0.1 ° resolution. Or, select mV for direct millivolt source/read capability. The Model 522 is internally cold-junction compensated for accuracy in any operating environment.
Use the EZ-Check Switch to quickly switch between three stored temperature/mV outputs. It’s easy to customize these values to your application. In read mode, the EZ-Check Switch recalls minimum and maximum readings. Store/Clear memory with a press of the EZ-Dial Knob.
