TC-K thermocouple U11331
Instruction sheet
11/10 Hh
1. Safety instructions
• In order to avoid permanent damage to the
supplied K-type thermocouple, never exceed
the maximum temperature of 1370°C.
2. Scope of delivery
1 Sensor box
1 NiCr-Ni (TC-K) thermocouple sensor, 1.20 m
1 8-pin mini DIN connection cable, 60 cm
3. Description
The TC-K thermocouple is used to measure ex-
tremely high/low temperatures, in liquid nitrogen
or oxygen or in a flame, for instance. The thermo-
couple is used in conjunction with the 3B NETlog
TM
interface (U11300).
Once connected, the sensor is automatically de-
tected by the interface.
The apparatus consists of a sensor box, including a
NiCr-Ni thermocouple sensor (type K), with room
temperature compensation.
The immersion sensors U11854 and U11855 can
likewise be connected to the sensor box.
