Simplifying Calibration Process with Multifunction Calibrators

Calibration is a function which compares measurement of a known magnitude or correctness of a particular measuring device with measurements made from another device. The device which has known correctness is called the “standard” and the test instrument device which is to be calibrated is known as the “unit under test”. Multifunction calibrators are measuring instruments that can calibrate multiple process parameters. 

These calibrators are used for following purposes:- 

  • Calibrate any process parameter
  • Measure and source mA and  volts
  • Measure temperature (RTDs and thermocouples), 
  • Measure frequency, ohms, and pressure 
  • Pulse sourcing


Extensive applications

Multifunction Calibrators have application possibilities in wide range of work environment and processes. They are used extensively in calibrating measuring instruments of various industries like Laboratories, production & manufacturing and workshops. These devices are also used by companies providing calibrating service and quality assurance to various industries. 

Features of Multifunction Calibrators 

  • Portable device 
  • Dual digital display 
  • Adjustable Setpoints 
  • Intuitive user Interface  
  • Thermocouple input/output terminal 
  • Generates voltage up to 750V and current up to 10A
  • Overload or short-circuit protection 
  • Frequency setting 
  • Built-in isolated mA/V measuring channel
  • Serial interface for remote controlling 
  • Built in HART and documenting option 


Multifunction Calibrators are very useful as they are portable hand-held device that can be easily carried anywhere within an industrial environment or laboratories and workshops. The test unit does not need to be removed from the workplace. One single calibrator can execute calibration of multiple process parameters of measuring instruments used for Sourcing, simulating readings for electrical signals, pressure or temperature. The device has an intuitive user interface and a dual display digital screen for easy readings. Upper digital display is for volts current and pressure and lower display for temperature detectors (RTD’s), thermocouples (TC’s), frequency and resistance. Setpoints in each range allows quick increase and decrease in output. The results of calibration can be documented using HART communication protocol.
