Description
The Practical Instrument Electronics Models 510 and 511 RTD Simulators simulate standard RTD curves over the entire industrial
temperature range. Choose between seven standard RTD curves. The Model 510 can also be supplied with a custom curve for your
specific application such as Pt 200, 500, 1000 with up to 0.1° resolution. Contact the factory for details.
The Model 510/511 will simulate RTD resistances into all types of instruments such as transmitters, recorders, controllers, alarms,
data acquisition, and computer systems. Rest easy knowing these calibrators are 100% compatible with pulsed systems and
transmitters like the Rosemount 3144 Transmitter. The Model 510/511 is a superior replacement for decade boxes, so there is no
need to lug a decade box around or be prone to error by reading RTD tables incorrectly. The Models 510 and 511 have better
accuracy, functions and compatibility than many higher priced RTD calibrators.
The EZ-Check function allows the user to store three output temperatures for real convenience. This will save time for repetitive
calibrations by instantly recalling the three stored temperature values. Three output settings can be stored, and all settings are
saved, even with the power off.
