Operating Instructions
FIELD & BENCH USE
PIE 820-ELITE comes with a carrying case designed for hands­free operation and a rubber boot with a built-in tilt stand. The PIE 820-ELITE is held in the case by elastic straps for use with the carrying case open. The tilt stand is easily raised by pulling the stand until it locks into place.
CHANGING BATTERIES
Low battery is indicated by “BAT” on the display. Approximately one to four hours of typical operation remain before the PIE 820-ELITE will automatically turn off. To change the batteries; remove the rubber boot, remove the battery door from the back of the unit by sliding the door downward. This allows access to the battery compartment. Replace with four (4) “AA” 1.5V batteries being careful to check the polarity. Replace the battery door and replace the boot. All stored configuration options (T/C Type, EZ-CHECK Memories, etc.) are reset to factory settings when the batteries are removed.
Note: Alkaline batteries are supplied and recommended for typical battery life and performance. Optional rechargeable batteries (charged externally) are available.

Operating Instructions
STORING HI and LO EZ-CHECK Source Outputs
Speed up your calibration by storing Span & Zero output setting for instant recall with the EZ-CHECK switch.
1) Store your high (SPAN) output temperature by moving the
EZ-CHECK switch to the HI position and turning the EZ-Dial knob until the desired output value is on the display. Press and hold the EZ-Dial knob until STORED appears to store the value. Release the EZ-Dial knob.
2) Store your low (ZERO) output value by moving the EZ-CHECK
switch to the LO position and turning the EZ-Dial knob until the desired output value is on the display. Press and hold the EZ-Dial knob until STORED appears to store the value. Release the EZ-Dial knob.
3) Instantly output your SPAN and ZERO output settings by
moving the EZ-CHECK switch between HI and LO. You may also select any third output setting (such as mid-range) using the SET position on the EZ-CHECK switch.
Connections
PIE 820-ELITE has banana jacks compatible with unshielded or retractable banana plugs. Included with your calibrator are: a pair of test leads with alligator clips for mA, V, pH & Hz connections. Four test leads with spade lugs are also included for 2, 3 and 4 Wire RTD connections. Thermocouple connections are made through a miniature thermocouple socket.

EZ-CHECK™ SWITCH
SOURCE: Instantly output two preset settings by moving the EZ-CHECK™ switch to the “LO” position or “HI” position. three point checks select the “SET” position. The PIE 820-ELITE will remember the last “SET” value, even with the power off. These values can easily be changed to suit the calibration requirements. The values stored in the HI and LO positions are also used for Auto Stepping.
For fast
READ: Slide the switch to the SET position. The PIE 820-ELITE will display the current reading from the sensor or device being measured. Slide the switch to MAX and the highest value measured since turn-on or reset will be displayed; slide the switch to MIN and the lowest value measured since turn-on or reset will be displayed.

Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
SOURCE/OFF/READ Switch
Select “SOURCE” to output mA, V, T/C, Ohms, RTD or frequency. Select “READ” to read mA, V, T/C, Ohms, RTD or frequency.
EZ-DIAL™ KNOB
SOURCE: Turn the knob to adjust the output level. Turn clockwise to increase the output, counter clockwise to decrease the output in one least significant digit steps at a time. Push down and turn the EZ-DIAL knob for faster dialing. Press and hold the knob for two seconds to store desired EZ-Check™ HI/LO points in SOURCE mode. Continue to press and hold the knob for two more seconds to start the automatic ramping.
READ: Press and hold to transfer the current temperature into the EZ-Check™ MIN/MAX points. This clears the MIN/MAX readings which will update as the input value changes.
SELECTING FUNCTIONS
The EZ-DIAL knob is used to setup the PIE 820-ELITE to match the instrument to be calibrated or signal to be measured. Each time you turn on the PIE 820-ELITE the LCD displays the fol­lowing screen for about 1 second followed by operating in the function used the last time it was operated.

FOR CONFIGURATION
Double Click the EZ-DIAL knob to change the function of the calibrator and to select ranges, units and other user settings. Each function (mA, V, T/C, Ohms, RTD, Frequency) has two pages of menus. The first menu page has settings for the func­tion and the second menu page has settings for STEPPING, AUTO OFF and BACKLIGHT. Settings are remembered even with the power off but are reset when the batteries are changed.

Double Click Menu - STEPPING, AUTO OFF & BACKLIGHT
Operating Instructions
STEPS - pressing the knob will cycle through 2, 3, 5, 11 and
RAMP. The endpoints of the steps or ramp are based on the values stored in the HI and LO EZ-CHECK outputs.
2 steps will automatically switch between the values stored in the HI & LO EZ-CHECK (0 & 100%).
3 steps between the HI, Midpoint and LO EZ-CHECK (0, 50 & 100%).
5 steps between the HI and LO EZ-CHECK in 25% increments (0, 25, 50, 75 & 100%).
11 steps between the HI and LO EZ-CHECK in 10% increments (0, 10, 20...80, 90 &100%).
RAMP continuously ramps up and down between the HI and LO EZ-CHECK outputs.
STEP TIME - pressing the knob will cycle through 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 60 seconds.
To start the Automatic Stepping
Start automatic stepping or ramping by placing the EZ-CHECK Switch into the HI or LO position then press and hold the DIAL KNOB for 6 seconds (the word STORE will appear on the display after 3 seconds and continue to press the EZ-DIAL KNOB) until the word STEPPING appears on the display. The word STEPPING will appear on the display anytime the selected automatic function is running. Stop the stepping by again pressing and holding the
DIAL KNOB for 3 seconds.
BACKLIGHT - If BACKLIGHT is ON the backlight will light all the time the unit is powered up. For maximum battery life turn the backlight off when using the calibrator in areas with enough ambient light to read the display.
