GE Introduces New Series Of Hand-Held Test Tools—New DPI 821/822 Thermocouple/Loop Calibrator
New Fairfield, Connecticut, June 2, 2004 - GE Infrastructure Sensing, a leading provider of precision sensing products, systems and services, announced the release of the DPI 821/822, new additions to the DPI 800 product line. The DPI 800 Series of test instruments and calibrators provides a complete range of affordable process test and calibration solutions in a single/dual function handheld instrument. From the rugged rubberized outer shell to an intuitive menu-driven interface backed by precision measurement technologies, these innovative new products combine excellent reliability, quality and ease of operation to provide highly cost-effective productivity.
"These additions to the 800 family build on our innovative 800 Series of handheld test tools," said Kermit Hoffman, president of GE Infrastructure Sensing-Americas. "The DPI 821/822 are designed for technicians that are in the field performing work including calibration and repair service on thermocouple devices such as temperature transmitters, as well as for technicians in a variety of manufacturing environments."
The DPI 821/822 thermocouple calibrators use advanced cold junction compensation (patent pending) to keep errors within 0.2°C, even with a 30° rapid change in ambient temperature. For increased flexibility, IDOS plug-in measurement modules expand the functions of the DPI 821/822 and can convert a temperature calibrator into a fully featured pressure indicator.
A large graphic display with high intensity white backlight makes the display easy to read in all lighting conditions. The user interface is similar to that of a cell phone. Menu selections are made using up and down arrow keys and selected with an enter key. The interface operates in nine languages including Chinese, Japanese and Russian. The DPI 821/822 Series measures just 7 x 3 ½ x 2 inches and weighs only one pound.
