5.1.2 Thermocouple Fixture:
The LTR-150 comes standard with a Thermocouple (TC) Fixture. The Thermocouple Fixture is used
with the dry block to ensure that all thermocouples are securely held at the full immersion depth of the
dry block inserts to ensure accurate calibrations. The Thermocouple Fixture set contains thermocouple
housing with an integrated metal holder, a transparent cover, and three knurled head screws to hold the
cover in place.
1. Transparent cover.
2. Three knurled head screws.
3. Thermocouple housing.
4. Integrated metal holder.
Installation:
 Let the calibrator cool before installing the TC fixture.
 Screw the TC housing onto the dry block thread. Please do not overtighten!
Usage:
 Place the thermocouple into the dry block,
route it through the accessible notch and
move the metal holder to fix the position.
 Move to the next accessible notch until all
thermocouples are fixed.
 Place the transparent cover on the fixture and
secure it with the three knurled knob screws.
 Place the External Reference sensor and Kaye
IRTD in the dry block using the holes in the
transparent cover.
Removal of Thermocouples:
 Remove the IRDT and sensors and the three knurled knob screws.
