The PCL1200 multifunction
calibrator has a feature set
unmatched by other high-accuracy
handheld calibrators in its price
range. It is portable, provides
the functions and accuracy of
a laboratory-grade instrument,
and has everything needed for
virtually any calibration task. It
can also measure and source
thermocouples, RTDs, current,
voltage, and frequency, and it
can source pulse trains. It has a
communications port for pressure
modules and an isolated mA/V
readback circuit. Arrow keys,
direct numeric keypad entry, and
3 software-driven function buttons
combine with a large, backlit, menu­driven graphics display to provide
a highly intuitive yet powerful
interface. A built-in
250 Ω resistor for Hart®
compatibility, compatibility with
smart transmitters and PLCs,
full fuseless protection, and a
serial communications port for
control using ASCII commands
are additional features that make
the PCL1200 indispensable for
calibration tasks. It comes with

a tough rubber boot; an optional
carrying case is available.

Measuring Pressure
with the PCL1200

With a PCL-PMA pressure module
adaptor, the PCL1200 will work
with all OMEGA PCL-PM pressure
modules. See Specifications and
“To Order” chart.

One PCL-PMA adaptor required for use of pressure modules.
Note: Gauge, absolute and compound types are isolated and accept any media compatible with 316 SS. Vacuum and differential types are

compatible with pressure media that are clean, dry, non-corrosive air or gas.
Comes complete with test leads, protective rubber boot, 1 Type K thermocouple with cable, 4 “AA” alkaline batteries, NIST certificate and

operator’s manual.
Ordering Example: PCL1200, high-accuracy multifunction calibrator. For pressure applications, order one PCL-PMA (required) plus the

modules required. Example: PCL-PMA, pressure module adaptor, PCL-PM030G, 0 to 30 psig pressure module.
