80PK-1

WARNING

TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS PROBE WHEN VOLTAGES EXCEEDING 24V AC RMS OR 60V DC ARE PRESENT. THE PROBE TIP IS ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT TERMINALS.

INTRODUCTION

The 80PK-1 is a Type K Bead Thermocouple designed for general purpose temperature measuring applications. It has an extremely fast response time, due to the low thermal mass of the exposed tip. The 40-inch (1-meter) Teflon cable is terminated with a Type K miniature thermocouple connector with 0.312-inch (0.792-mm) pin spacing. The 80PK-1 can be used with any temperature measuring instrument that is designed to accept Type K thermocouples and that has a miniature connector input.

The 80PK-1 must be used in Teflon-compatible environments and is not suitable for liquid immersion. Above 260°C (500°F), Teflon will emit toxic fumes.
