By: Jim Jeffords • Retractable cable with superior memory • Expands to 1.5m (5’) • Subminiature connector for use with handheld thermometers • 300, 450 and 600 mm (12’, 18 and 24’) lengths standard - custom lengths available • Companion RTD probe, type PR-16 • 304, 310, 316, 321 SS, Inconel N and super XL sheaths The thermocouple sensors are designed to work with the securityProbe and securityProbe 5E and E-sensor8 expansion modules via the AKCP adapters to give a measurement rate of one reading every second. The new sensor now accepts all standard size male connectors for thermocouple types J & K New J & K type thermocouple adapters There are two common types of thermocouple wire, type J and type K and AKCP have created two adapters to enable you to connect directly to your AKCP unit • Type J (Iron/Constantan™) Type J thermocouples are used in vacuum, oxidizing, inert or reducing atmospheres. Iron element oxidizes rapidly at temperatures exceeding 1000°F (538°C), and therefore heavier gauge wire is recommended • Type K (Chromel™/Alumel™) Type K thermocouples are used in oxidizing, inert or dry reducing atmospheres. Exposure to vacuum is limited to short time periods. Must be protected from sulfurous and marginally oxidizing atmospheres. Each adapter comes with a 5 foot CAT5 cable and you can use a customized cable of up to 100 feet. There is also an RJ-45 connection for easy and simple installation. • Full autosense including disconnect alarm • Power source: powered by the sensorProbe. No additional power needed. • Power consumption: • They are "simple", rugged and need no batteries • Can measure over very wide temperature ranges and more The thermocouple sensor and adapters are easy to set up and install and the sensor is competitively priced at just $150. The new J & K type adapters are priced at just $125 each. These sensors and adapters can be ordered directly from AKCP or from any one of our many dealers located around the world.
