Operating Instructions

FIELD & BENCH USE

PIE 850 comes with a carrying case designed for hands-free operation and a rubber boot with a built-in tilt stand. The PIE 850 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 a battery symbol on the display. Approximately one to four hours of typical operation remain before the PIE 850 will automatically turn off. To change the batteries remove the rubber boot and 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: Lithium 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 850 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.

Select “SOURCE” to output mA, V, pH, T/C, Ω, RTD or frequency. Select “READ” to read mA, V, T/C, Ω, RTD, pressure or frequency. Select “OFF” to turn off the 850.

e 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 step 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 850 to match the instrument to be calibrated or signal to be measured. Each time you turn on the PIE 850 the LCD displays the following screen for about 1 second followed by operating in the function used the last time it was operated.

Operating Instructions

10-50 mA Operation - The 10-50 mA control signal predated the

now common 4-20 mA signal. Many loops with 10-50 signal have power supplies that run higher than 24 V DC.

SOURCE supplies from 0.000 to 52.000 mA with up to 40 V DC compliance which has enough power to stroke valves.

2-Wire Transmitter Simulation limits the loop current passing through it in the same manner as a 2-Wire transmitter with loop power supplies up to 60 V DC.

READ measures from 0.000 to 52.000 mA from mA outputs of controllers or to monitor the signal in a loop.

PWRM is POWER MEASURE which uses the internal loop supply of the 850 to power up the transmitter while indicating the current passing through the loop proportional to the input of transmitter which is controlled by the output of the 850.

When simulating a 10-50 mA 2-Wire Transmitter in loops with high voltage this section of the calibrator may get warm.

pH SOURCE

Choose this function to provide an output from 0.000 to 14.000 pH @ 25°C (77°F) which corresponds to 414.12 to -414.12 mV. The source current is a nominal 20 mA to provide the driving power to your pH receivers.

Move the power switch

w to SOURCE then Double Click the

EZ-DIAL knob to get into the Menu. Turn the knob to scroll through the settings and press the knob to make your selection. Select pH for the FUNCTION.

Connect the output leads of the PIE 850 to the inputs of the device being calibrated, making sure to check polarity. Red lead from the mV (+) jack of the 850 to the plus (+) input and black lead from the mV (-) jack to the minus (-) input.

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 DIAL position on the EZ-CHECK switch. The output is adjusted in

0.001 pH increments by turning the knob

Simulate pH probes into transmitters & analyzers

Use the pH simulator to verify proper operation of pH devices before you place a probe into a calibrated buffer. Adjusting the pH transmitter or analyzer without a probe allows you to make sure the device is calibrated and operating correctly. The 850 simulates 0.000 to 14.000 pH @ 25°C corresponding to 414.12 to -414.12 mV.

Once the pH instrument has been adjusted against the PIE 850 reconnect the pH probe and check it against the proper buffer (typically 7 pH). If the instrument zero point requires more than the manufacturer’s recommendations (typically within 0.5 pH) it is time to clean or replace the probe.
