Choose this function to measure from 0.000 to 24.000 milliamps
or -25.00 to 125.00%.
Move the power switch w to READ then Double Click the
EZ-DIAL knob to get into the Double Click Menu. Turn the knob
e to scroll through the settings and press the knob to make your
selection. Select mA for the FUNCTION and READ for the
MODE. Choose either mA or % and whether you need the 250
Ω
HART resistor active in the loop.
Connect the red input lead (+) of the PIE 820-ELITE to the more
positive point of the break and the black input to the more
negative point.
Signals below 0 mA or open circuits are indicated by 0.00 mA
(-25.0%) on the display. Signals above 24 mA are current limited
by protection circuitry with “OVERRANGE” flashed on the
display and the red OVERLOAD LED lit.
The PIE 820-ELITE measures the input signal and constantly
updates the display with the current reading. Move the
EZ-CHECK switch
q to MAX to see the highest reading and to
MIN to see the lowest reading. Press and hold the knob e to
clear the MAX and MIN readings.
