AMA011 AMA012 Volt mA & Thermocouple Calibrator


Product Description

AMA011 / AMA012 Volt/mA Loop Calibrator

Voltage, Current & Thermocouple Process Calibrator for Field and Bench Use

The AMA011 and AMA012 are compact, rugged Volt/mA Loop Calibrators built for technicians who need fast, accurate calibration of transmitters, PLCs, and control loops in the field or on the bench. As a full Volt mA Loop Process Calibrator, each unit measures and sources 0–24 mA DC current and 0–20 V DC  voltage, while the AMA012 adds direct thermocouple measurement and simulation — making it a true all-in-one  Loop Calibrator for process instrumentation, industrial automation, and quality-control applications. Whether you're troubleshooting a 4–20 mA loop, powering a transmitter under test, or verifying a thermocouple sensor, this volt ma calibrator delivers lab-grade accuracy in a pocket-sized, field-ready housing.


Key Features

  • Measures and sources 0–24 mA DC current and 0–20 V DC voltage in one unit

  • Thermocouple measurement and output for types J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N (AMA012)

  • Built-in 24 V loop power supply for powering transmitters directly during test

  • Large dual 5-digit LCD display for simultaneous readout of measured and reference values

  • Ladder and ramp output modes for automated step and sweep testing

  • Store and recall up to 10 group settings for repeatable calibration routines

  • Quick-output presets — assign a value to a single key for one-touch output

  • USB / remote interface for automated benchtop operation

  • Compact, rugged, field-ready design with rubberized holster

  • Accuracy up to ±0.06% (voltage) and ±0.7 °C (temperature), model dependent


Applications

This Volt/mA Loop Process Calibrator is widely used across process industries for:

  • Calibrating and troubleshooting 4–20 mA transmitter loops

  • Verifying PLC and DCS analog input/output channels

  • Simulating transmitter signals during commissioning and maintenance

  • Measuring and sourcing thermocouple signals for temperature instrumentation

  • Pharmaceutical, food & beverage, oil & gas, and general manufacturing quality control

  • Robotics and automated production line instrument testing
