Your New TechChek 830-KP
Lighten your load…take the TechChek 830-KP to every
site. It’s like bringing a cartload of test equipment from the
shop to the control room or the field. The TechChek 830-KP
sources and reads DC like a milliamp or voltage calibrator,
simulates and measures T/Cs & RTDs like a temperature
calibrator, generates and counts frequency and Counts-Per-
Minute like a frequency calibrator and displays pressure like
a precision test gauge. Troubleshooting? It checks continuity
with a beeper and measures AC line voltage like a
multimeter!
Calibrate Milliamp Inputs
Calibrate controllers, recorders and other devices in 4
to 20 or 0 to 20 mA loops. Source and read 0.00 to 24.00
mA, or Simulate a 2-Wire Transmitter. Use the optional AC
adaptor for continuous operation. Display to 0.01 mA , 0.1
% of 4 to 20 and 0.1 % DP Flow.
Calibrate 2-Wire Transmitters
Easily calibrate 2-Wire Pressure and Electronic
Transmitters by connecting the TechChek 830-KP to both
the input and output of the transmitter. The TechChek 830-
KP will simultaneously indicate the input and output of the
transmitter on the graphical display.
Calibrate Pressure Systems
Read pressure with extreme accuracy using an external
QuikCal pressure module in a companion ModPak module
holder. Attach the module directly to the pressure
connection for the best accuracy or with optional tubing for
tight spots. Display to five digits within 0.025% of reading
in up to 20 engineering units including psi, pa, Kpa, Mpa,
