Extech PRC15 Current and Voltage Calibrator/Meter
The Extech PRC15 is a compact, multifunctional calibrator and meter designed for calibrating industrial process instruments. It can both source and measure DC current (0 to 24 mA) and voltage (0 to 20 V), making it a powerful tool for field and bench calibration tasks in automation, instrumentation, and control systems.
Description
The PRC15 is engineered to support precision calibration of transmitters, sensors, controllers, and other process devices by offering both sourcing and measurement of key signals. It can generate (source) a controlled 0 to 24 mA current output (with a load capability up to 1,000 Ω) and a 0 to 20 V DC voltage output. On the measurement side, it can read currents up to 50 mA and voltages up to 20 V, providing flexibility in testing and validation.
Its compact, double-molded housing houses a large, dot-matrix backlit LCD that ensures readability under varying lighting conditions. The PRC15 includes five user-programmable calibration presets for commonly used output values, which streamlines repetitive tasks. For extended operation, the device is powered by a large internal battery bank but can also be operated via an external power adapter when continuous use is needed. It uses banana I/O ports for standard connections, includes accessories such as test leads, alligator clips, universal AC adapter, batteries, and a durable carrying case to support field work.
