Programmable step and ramp outputs: Quickly step through calibrations with the %Step output or make zero and full scale adjustments using Span Check. The Ramp output is ideal for delicate analogue meters, rate of change indicators and checking valve travel and slew rates.
Adjustable nudge output: Provides small incremental output changes for accurately setting valve positioners, switches, trips, and alarms.
Automatic switch test: Captures open/closed trip values providing a fast and highly accurate "safety system" check.
HART resistor: Can be switched into the loop when required for a HART digital communicator avoiding the inconvenience of carrying a 250 Ω resistor.
24V loop power supply: Energises transmitters and control loops
Druck DPI880 Temperature Measurements:
Measures or simulates RTD or thermocouple sensors and is the ideal tool for checking probes, transmitters, process loops, indicators and controllers. Use with a temperature probe to provide a versatile thermometer.
Unique thermocouple cold junction compensation virtually eliminates errors caused by changing environmental conditions on test instruments used outside.
Automatic detection of 2, 3 and 4 wire RTDs: Quickly detect damaged sensors and faulty wiring that could otherwise be missed or cause system inaccuracy.
Thermometer with wide probe compatibility: Compatibility with 8 RTDs and 12 thermocouples allows probe selection for any thermometer application, eg. general purpose, high temperature, hygienic and aggressive media.
Druck DPI880 Frequency Measurements:
Measures or sources Hz, kHz, CPM and CPH proving a highly accurate calibration standard and versatile test tool for process technicians and electronic engineers. Dedicated features facilitate test and maintenance of electronic circuits, frequency/flow meters, batch counters, tachometers, and motion pickups.
Automatic trigger: detects the best value regardless of waveform or amplitude.
Druck DPI880 Pressure Modules:
Intelligent Digital Output Sensor (IDOS) pressure modules are available from 10 in H2O to 10,000 psi (25 mbar to 700 bar). IDOS modules are plus and play requiring no instrument calibration or set-up to provide a fully featured pressure calibrator.
Standard and premier accuracy: Standard accuracy from 0.05% FS includes operation over 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C), one year stability and calibration uncertainty. The Premier range provices laboratory grade precision to 0.01% FC.
Total flexibility: IDOS modules can be used with any compatible instrument carrying the IDOS logo; for example, the DPI800 series.
