AMA011 AMA012 Volt mA & Thermocouple Calibrator

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.
