Operation
► Procedure
1. Connect the FOXY-TK1 to the 10-foot wire (model number FOXY-T-WIRE) that comes with the
thermocouple.
2. Connect the FOXY-TK1 and the wire to the FOXY-T-MOD-K RS-232 module. (Rack-mounted
systems have the modules installed into the rack box.)
3. Connect the FOXY-T-MOD-K RS-232 module to your PC. You must have an available serial
port on your PC. Note the serial port number (also called COM Port) on the PC to which you are
interfacing.
4. Plug the +12VDC wall transformer into an outlet and connect it to the FOXY-TK1.
5. Open OOISensors and select Configure | Spectrometer from the menu. Select the Sensors tab.
Next to Temperature Measurement, select Omega D5xx1 RS232 for automatic temperature
monitoring. Finally, enable the Compensate function.
6. Select the COM Port number (next to Serial Port) on your PC to which the thermocouple is
connected.
7. Locate the port on the module that is connected to the thermistor in use.
Note
The RS-232 module can support up to four thermocouples, and each port on the module is
labeled.
8. Next to D5xx1, select between 0 and 3. (If you only have one thermocouple, select 0.)
9. Enable the Chart function to view a chart of the temperature values.
