Additel 226 Multifunction Process Calibrator
High-accuracy multifunction calibrator for pressure, temperature, and electrical signals with advanced documentation capabilities.
Description
Additel’s new Multi-functional Process Calibrator series takes portability, functionality, and accuracy to a whole new level and packages it with an intuitive and easy-to-use colour touchscreen display. The ADT226 is a powerful yet cost-effective process calibrator, which has an ATEX-certified intrinsically safe option – ADT226Ex, allowing you to perform calibration work in the harshest of environments. We’re confident these new tools will not only meet your calibration requirements but will make metrology simple for you!

Easy-to-use Cellphone Like Interface
The ADT226 series brings an all-new user interface to the world of process calibrators. With a menu-driven interface and small size/weight, the ADT226 is the industry’s smallest multifunctional process calibrator with an intrinsically safe version to boot (ADT226Ex). It adopts advanced human hand engineering design for the most convenient field handheld process calibrator available. The ADT226 has been developed with a powerful embedded operating system which solves common problems of other designs including slow response, cumbersome key operation, high power consumption and overall slow processing.
Accuracy
Additel’s new and improved ADT226 series provides much improved accuracies including an electrical accuracy of 0.015% RD + 0.005% FS, high-static differential pressure mode accuracy to 0.002% FS and across-the-board improvements in temperature measurement accuracies.
Thermocouple Measurement Performance
The ADT226 series delivers highly improved thermocouple measurement capabilities by vastly improving the cold junction compensation(CJC) specifications and a much improved stabilization time.
Time Saving Features
In addition to all the great features mentioned above, the ADT226 series is loaded with time saving features like our builtin pressure and temperature converter, thermal calculator, wiring diagram guide for assisting with electrical connections, a built-in diagnostic center including intelligent alarm messaging and a real time error report and comprehensive selftesting to help our customers get the very most out of their investment in Additel calibration tools.
Portable and Robust
The demands of remote calibration work can be challenging. The ADT226 series is lightweight and highly portable, and utilises an advanced colour LCD screen to help ensure you can easily see, even in the (Ex) intrinsically safe versions. All models in the ADT226 family have been designed with ruggedness and dependability in mind and meet IP67 standards with a 1-meter drop test, 4G vibration, xenon exposure and 130g steel ball drop testing of the display. Other environmental conditions have also been considered, such as temperature and humidity. To combat these external elements, Additel has designed a unique internal circuit design and process technology to allow for the utmost confidence in your critical calibration and measurement work.
Intrinsically Safe Option
The Additel 226Ex series calibrators have passed the most stringent testing by certified organisations to acquire intrinsically safe certificates, ATEX, and IECEX. The explosion-proof grade (Ex ia IIC T4 Ga), can be widely used in potentially explosive environments, such as oil and gas platforms, oil refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants, pharmaceutical industries, energy and gas processing industries. Each intrinsically safe calibrator has an advanced transflective color LCD display that has enhanced visibility when viewed in direct sunlight. No matter where your work takes you, these calibrators are up to the task.
Voltage Meter (RMS)
The Additel 226 non-Ex version is equipped with “true effective value” RMS measuring function, which can measure the RMS of various waveforms with no need to consider distortion or waveform parameters and other errors caused by various waveforms.
Targeted Application Features
The onboard applications provide a useful selection of features including high static differential pressure mode, pressure leak test, safety valve test, analog transmitter calibration, unit converter, thermal calculator, and snapshots to name a few. High static differential pressure mode uses two sensors, unique calculation technology to achieve a differential pressure measurement to 0.002% FS at high static pressures. The leak test will automatically calculate the pressure drop to determine a leak condition. The safety valve test is a specialised task that captures the exact pressure release point by taking 10 readings per second during a valve crack test. You will find this and much more as we continue to develop new apps at Additel.
Connectivity and Battery
Users can remotely connect mobile devices to the ADT226 via Bluetooth with an unobstructed distance up 20 meters. The included USB type-C comm port and cable provide a hard wired communication option as well as charging for the removeable Li-ion battery, which provides up to 35 hours of run time.
