PIE 830 Multifunction Diagnostic Calibrator

The PIE 830 Multifunction Diagnostic Calibrator goes far beyond traditional process calibration. In addition to sourcing and measuring common process signals, it functions as a loop detective, capable of identifying hidden problems such as ground faults, moisture intrusion, corrosion bridges, and current leakage—issues that standard calibrators and multimeters often miss.

With a dual display, built-in Loop Diagnostic technology, and LoopScope™, the PIE 830 allows technicians to see the full health of a live loop in real time. This prevents unnecessary transmitter replacement and dramatically reduces troubleshooting time in the field or plant.

Features and Performance

• Dual Display for Faster Diagnostics
  Simultaneously view multiple parameters for clear, real-time troubleshooting.

• Advanced Loop Diagnostic Technology
  Detects uncontrolled current caused by ground faults, moisture, or corrosion—problems invisible to standard test tools.

• LoopScope™ Functionality
  Displays current, voltage, and resistance at the same time, providing instant insight into loop loading, wiring, and power supply issues.

• RTD Auto-Detection (2, 3, or 4 Wire)
  Automatically identifies RTD wiring configuration and detects broken or disconnected sensor leads.

• Universal Transmitter Simulation
  Configure the 830 as an isolated transmitter for temperature, millivolt, frequency, or pressure to determine whether the transmitter or control system is at fault.

• Comprehensive Signal Calibration

  • mA, DC volts, resistance

  • Thermocouples and RTDs

  • Frequency up to 20.000 kHz / 2000 CPM

• Pressure Measurement Capability
  Supports optional pressure modules with up to 32 gauge, differential, absolute, and compound pressure modules.

• Backlit Graphical Display
  Easy to read in dark or confined plant environments.

• Built-in Continuity Tester
  Quickly locate wiring faults, shorts, and broken connections without a separate multimeter.

Why You Should Buy It

• Finds hidden loop problems others can’t
