-
DC voltage
-
Active and passive DC current
-
Thermocouple signals
-
RTD signals
With output accuracy up to 0.2% and a high-resolution output display, the HPC79+ is ideal for loop calibration, I/O testing, transmitter verification, and temperature instrument calibration. The integrated 24 V loop power supply allows simultaneous loop powering and current measurement, simplifying field calibration and maintenance work.
Realistic Process Simulation Functions
To accurately simulate real-world operating conditions, the HPC78+ supports:
-
Manual step output (25% / 100%)
-
