Item Name Function
Reference
Thermometer Input
(REF PRT)
Connect a Reference PRT probe to the Calibrator for use with the
reference thermometer function. The Reference Thermometer Input
accepts 4-wire or 2-wire traditional 6-pin DIN Smart Connectors (see
“Reference PRT Connection Preparation” on page 2-29).
The Reference Thermometer Input can store calculated probe calibration
coefficients. Coefficient values can be manually keyed into the readout or
a characterization curve can be selected through the user interface.
Note
A Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT) is the only type of
probe that is supported by the Reference Thermometer Input.
4-20 mA Connectors
Connect a 4-20 mA transmitter to the Calibrator. The 4-20 mA
Connectors can supply a low voltage (24 V) to power a transmitter. See
“mA Setup” on page 2-25.
4-Wire PRT/RTD
Connector
Connect a 4-wire, 3-wire, or 2-wire PRT/RTDs to be tested to the input.
See “PRT/RTD Connection Preparation” on page 2-30.
Thermocouple (TC)
Connector
Connect a thermocouple to be tested that is fitted with a subminiature
thermocouple (TC) connector.
Fuse
Fuse for the 4-20 mA circuit. See Chapter 4 for fuse replacement
instructions.
