Model 311
Diagnostic RTD
& Milliamp Calibrator
Operating Instructions
Copyright © 2017 All rights reserved • 311Plus-9002 - Rev A 26 July 2017
• Two Calibrators in One!
Calibrate all your RTD instruments AND your milliamp
loops with the PIE 311Plus. It has all the functions of a 12
type RTD calibrator and can source 0 to 24 milliamps or
simulate a two wire transmitter like a milliamp calibrator.
You may also perform stand alone calibrations of two wire
transmitters by simultaneously supplying the RTD input
signal while supplying the 24 volts to power up the
transmitter and monitoring the milliamp output signal.
Powers HART™ transmitters with built-in 250 ohm resistor
simplifying hookups with HART communicators.
• Troubleshoot loop problems
Quickly diagnose ground fault and current leakage with the
patented loop diagnostic technology (US Patent 7,248,058).
• Troubleshoot RTD sensors
Troubleshoot sensor connections and find broken wires
with patented technology. Connect your two, three or four
wire RTDs and the PIE 311Plus automatically detects the
connections. Secondary display shows the resistance
value corresponding to the RTD temperature.
• Easy to use in the shop, plant, or field
With the PIE 311Plus you can check & calibrate all your
RTD instruments, measure RTD Sensors, and calibrate 4
to 20 milliamp instruments. Automatic indication of
connections on the display for simple hookups. Carry it
without worry - it comes protected with a rubber boot and
rugged, low profile switches. Easy to operate even in dark
areas with the backlit display.
• Calibrate directly in temperature (°C & °F)
Stop carrying around a decade box and RTD resistance tables. The PIE 311Plus works with the
RTDs you use including Platinum 10, 50, 100, 200, 500 & 1000 (alpha = 3850), Pt 100 Ohm
(alpha=3902, 3916, 3926), Copper 10 & 50 Ohm, and Nickel 120 Ohm. Easily set any value quickly
to within 0.1° with the adjustable digital potentiometer “EZ-DIAL” plus store any three temperatures
for instant recall with the EZ-CHECK™ switch. And from 0.00 to 401.00 and 0.0 to 4010.0 Ohms.
• Checkout all your 4 to 20 mA loops & instruments
With the built-in milliamp calibrator you can check, calibrate and measure all your current signal
instruments in a 4 to 20 milliamp loop. It can be used at any access point in your loop. Source &
Read 0.000 to 24.000 mA, Simulate a 2 Wire Transmitter or use the PIE 311Plus to simultaneously
power your 2 Wire Transmitter and measure its output while simulating the sensor input
.
• Fast calibration with automatic output stepping
Choose between 2, 3, 5, 11 and 21 steps to automatically increment the output in 100%, 50%,
25%, 10% or 5% of span. Select the step time to match your system from 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20,
25, 30 and 60 seconds.
• Compatible with ALL process instruments
No competitor’s calibrator is compatible with as many process instruments! Connect directly to the
RTD inputs of smart transmitters, PLCs, DCS and multichannel recorders and verify their outputs
or displays. Works with older instruments with fixed excitation currents and newer multichannel
instruments that switch the excitation current between input channels.

qEZ-CHECK™ SWITCH
SOURCE: Instantly output two preset RTD
temperatures or milliamp values by moving the
EZ-CHECK™ switch to the “LO” position or “HI”
position.
For fast three point checks select the
“SET” position. The PIE 311Plus will remember
the last “SET” value, even with the power off.
These values can easily be changed to suit the
calibration requirements. The values stored in the HI
and LO positions are also used for Auto Stepping.
READ: Slide the switch to the SET position. The PIE
311Plus will display the current temperature from the
RTD sensor or the current milliamp value. Slide the
switch to HI and the highest value measured since
turn-on or reset will be displayed; slide the switch to
LO and the lowest value measured since turn-on or
reset will be displayed.
wSOURCE/OFF/READ Switch
Select “SOURCE” to output in °C, °F, Ohms or
milliamps.
Select “READ” to read a RTD sensor, Ohms or
milliamps. Select “OFF” to turn the unit off.
eEZ-DIAL™ KNOB
SOURCE: Turn the knob to adjust the output
level. Turn clockwise to increase the output,
counter clockwise to decrease the output in 0.1°,
0.01 Ω or 0.001 mA steps at a time. Push down
and turn the EZ-DIAL knob for faster dialing.
Press and hold the knob for two seconds to store
desired EZ-Check™ HI/LO points in SOURCE
mode. Continue to press and hold the knob for
three more seconds to start the automatic
stepping or ramping.
READ: Press and hold the knob for two seconds
to transfer the current measured value into the
EZ-Check™ HI/LO points. This clears the HI/LO
readings which will update as the measured
value changes.
Double click the knob to get into the PIE 311Plus
Configuration Mode.
CHANGING BATTERIES
Low battery is indicated by a battery symbol on
the display. Approximately one hour of typical
operation remain after the first time the low
battery symbol appears. To change the batteries;
remove the rubber boot, remove the battery door
from the back of the unit by sliding the door
downward. This allows access to the battery
compartment. Replace with four (4) “AA” 1.5V
batteries being careful to check the polarity.
Replace the battery door and the boot. All stored
configuration options (T/C Type, EZ-CHECK
Memories, etc.,) are reset to factory settings
when the batteries are removed.
Note: Alkaline batteries are supplied and
recommended. Purchase the optional Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries for maximum battery life.

the transmitter while indicating the current
passing through the loop proportional to the
input of transmitter which is controlled by the
output of the 311Plus. Choose PWRM% to

If PWRM or PWRM% is selected an
additional menu selection of LEAK DETECT
will appear. When LEAK DETECT is turned
on the 311Plus will display LEAK and the
amount of current that is uncontrolled in the
loop. This may be due to a faulty transmitter,
corrosion causing a bridge to ground or
moisture present at some connection point.
When LEAK DETECT tests a loop with
leakage the loop mA signal will be affected.
HART 250Ω- turn on the 250Ωresistor if you
are powering up a HART transmitter. This
provides the loop load required for HART

Troubleshooting RTD Sensors
Here is an example of the PIE
311Plus reading a sensor with all 4
wires connected.
Here is an example where
connections are made to a 4 wire
sensor and the 311Plus indicates that
only Wires 1, 2 & 4 are connected.
There may be a loose connection or
a break in wire 3 somewhere between
the sensor and the 311Plus.
Only a calibrator with PIE’s patented 2, 3 & 4 wire detection
makes troubleshooting sensor wiring quick, easy and automatic.
This is much simpler and faster than going through the process
of testing each pair of wires to figure out which, if any,
connection is loose or which wire is broken.

Troubleshooting RTD Instruments
When you are having an issue where an
instrument won't read an RTD sensor or you
don't know if the calibrator is connected properly
the PIE 311Plus has a function to measure and
display the fixed or pulsed sensor (excitation)
current that the instrument uses to measure the
resistance of the RTD sensor.
Double click the eDIAL KNOB at any time the
unit is on and then turn the eDIAL KNOB to
move to the second menu page so the word
DISPLAY appears at the top of the menu.
Turn the eDIAL KNOB to move through the
menu until the cursor is pointing at SENSOR
mA. Press the eDIAL KNOB to toggle SENSOR
mA ON.
Disconnect all sensor wires from the devices to be
calibrated and connect the PIE
311Plus
to the
inputs of the device using 2, 3 or 4 wires. The sensor
current generated by the instrument will be indicated
on the display followed by the word FIXED or
PULSE. Older single channel RTD instruments used
a constant (fixed) current source to measure an RTD
sensor. Smart transmitters, multichannel recorders
and PLC or DCS input cards switch the current
source sequentially through the channels which is
seen as an intermittent (pulsed) current.
