General Information
The PIE Model 850 is more than a multifunction
calibrator. It is also a loop detective that is able to
diagnose common problems that other test
equipment just can’t find. Have a flooded junction
box or unknown ground faults? Our Loop Diagnostic
technology will detect it. Or use the LoopScope to
see at a glance all the parameters - milliamps,
voltage and resistance - in the loop.

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.

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.

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.

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.
