The Essential Field Tool for Precision Process Control and Calibration

The REED Instruments R5850-NIST is a high-accuracy, handheld solution for the calibration and troubleshooting of process control instrumentation.

Designed for versatility, the R5850 can both source (simulate) and measure a wide range of signals, including DC voltage, DC current (mA), 12 thermocouple types (R, S, B, E, K, J, T, N, L, U, XK, BP), and 10 RTD types (Pt100, Pt200, Pt500, Pt1000, Cu10/50/100, Pt100-392, Pt100-JIS, Ni120). With the included NIST-Traceable Calibration Certificate, this tool provides the documented measurement integrity required for chemical plants, water treatment facilities, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Key Technical Advantages

Comprehensive Source/Measure Capability: Eliminate the need for multiple tools by simulating and measuring 0-10V DC and 0-22mA DC signals in a single device.
Universal Temperature Calibration: Supports the most common industrial sensors, including R, S, B, E, K, J, T, N, L, U, XK and BP thermocouples, as well as Pt100, Pt200, Pt500, Pt1000, Cu10/50/100, Pt100-392, Pt100-JIS and Ni120 RTDs.
Integrated 24V Loop Power: Power and test 2-wire loops simultaneously, making it an all-in-one solution for transmitter maintenance.
Documented Accuracy: Ships with a NIST-traceable certificate containing full data and uncertainties, ensuring compliance with ISO and regulatory safety standards.
Field-Ready Design: Features an easy-to-read backlit LCD, internal memory for storing calibration set-points, and a rugged housing built for industrial environments.

Ideal Applications for the REED R5850-NIST

Industrial Transmitter Calibration: Verify and adjust 4-20mA pressure, flow, and level transmitters.
HVAC/R Control Systems: Test and simulate temperature sensors (RTDs/Thermocouples) for large-scale climate control.
PLC and DCS Troubleshooting: Inject known signals into control systems to verify programming logic and I/O performance.
Chemical & Water Treatment: Maintain precise sensor accuracy in environments where chemical dosing depends on exact measurements.
Pharmaceutical & Food Processing: Ensure thermal monitoring equipment meets strict FDA and health safety compliance through traceable calibration.
