Functions
Automatic input/output testing *CA550 only
(Program sweep)
Automatic input/output testing is possible by setting source values for each step for a calibration target. Calibration results such as generated value, measured value, error rate, date/time, and pass/fail are saved in CSV format in the CA550 main unit.
By connecting the CA550 to a PC using a standard USB cable, the instrument can be recognized as a mass-storage device for data to be transferred to the PC.
HART Communication Protocol *CA550 only

Easy-to-view Display
CA500 features a Reflective LCD, providing improved outdoor visibility. Main display (generated/measured values) and Sub display (%, mV, &Omega, etc.) allow required information at a work site to be confirmed at a glance.
Wiring information display function
A wiring diagram is displayed according to the function selected. This function allows a user to perform wiring while referring to a wiring diagram and prevents mis-wiring.
Thermocouple generation using TC Mini Plug
Using a TC Mini Plug together with a compensating lead wire enables generation of thermal electromotive force without an external RJ sensor.*
* A compensating lead wire needs to be prepared by customer.
Easy-to-use key operation
0%/100% keys
The source can be easily switched between 0% and 100% of range. Users can also set a desired value.
UP/DOWN keys
The output is changed in preset steps by pressing UP or DOWN key.
?
Operation key layout
Keys related to generation and measurement are arranged collectively to allow easy and intuitive operation.
SQUARE ROOT output
For 4-20 mA, 1-5 V ranges, users can choose between LINEAR and SQUARE ROOT output.
