Surpassing its competitors in accuracy and functionality, the PIECAL 520B Single T/C Simulator from Practical Instrument Electronics offers the utmost in features and performance.
The 520B imitates a dedicated standard thermocouple curve over the entire industrial temperature expanse and is cold-junction compensated for changes in ambient temperature. It is equipped to provide precision temperatures for inputs to an array of instruments such as, computer systems, transmitters, data acquisition, recorders, alarms and controllers.
The PIECAL 520B is an affordable precision thermocouple source for a variety of thermocouple instruments in an array of applications.
