1. High-grade accuracy for reliable calibration results

   Standard CA500 features 0.015% DC current/voltage basic accuracy, far exceeding ordinary handheld calibrators, meeting industrial plant regular calibration and third-party audit requirements.

2. All-in-one multi-signal coverage reduces equipment carry load

   Single unit replaces separate voltage/current/RTD/TC signal generators and multimeters, cutting tool quantity for field maintenance teams.

3. Outdoor-friendly reflective LCD & anti-miswiring guidance

   Reflective screen eliminates glare issues under sunlight; real-time wiring diagram display removes the need to check paper manuals during urgent on-site work.

4. Robust field-oriented rugged design

   Dual-side anti-drop bumpers withstand accidental drops in plant sites; lightweight handheld body with foldable rear stand for desktop hands-free calibration.

5. Rich auxiliary calibration functions improve work efficiency

   Supports linear/step/square-root sweep, automatic percentage conversion, cold junction compensation for thermocouples and built-in loop power supply, covering all standard transmitter calibration workflows without extra auxiliary tools.

6. Traceable data recording & PC connectivity

   Onboard data logger saves full test records with parameter values; USB data export supports electronic calibration report archiving for factory quality management.
