Thermocouple Connections
The sensor box temperature panel has inputs
for up to 16 type K thermocouples. Open-tip
thermocouples have a faster response time
because of the smaller mass. These are typically
used for exhaust gas temperature measurement.
Closed-tip thermocouples are typically used for
fluid measurement. Plug the thermocouple into
an extension cable (if needed) or directly into the
thermocouple panel. The panel will accept standard
or miniature plugs. The system is typically supplied
with 12 closed tip 1/8" thermocouples.
Figure 4.12 Thermocouples
The standard probe type thermocouples are
designed so they can be bent. However, once
they are bent in one direction they cannot be
straightened without damaging the internal wiring
rendering them inoperative. Use a tubing bender to
create a smooth radius curve.
