• The accuracy specifications does not include the error of the probe or the digital multimeter, and this
adapter should be stabilized for at least one hour on the DUT to be measured. Please refer to the probe
accuracy specifications for additional details.
• Accuracy enhancement for 351 °C ~ 500 °C, subtract 3 degrees from the reading. The accuracy is now
0.75% ±2 °C.
• Accuracy enhancement for 663 °F ~ 932 °F, subtract 5.4 degrees from the reading. The accuracy is now
0.75% ±3.6 °F.
Operation
Follow the procedures provided to select Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature unit in proportion to mili-volt
output using slider switch:
1.
Ensure the temperature adapter is stabilized in operating environment.
2.
Switch the adapter slider’s switch to set °C or °F.
3.
Plug the banana plugs into V/COM terminals on multimeter.
4.
Set the DC voltage measurement and adequate range on multimeter or oscilloscope in use.
5.
Plug the miniature K-Type thermocouple probe into adapter.
6.
Observe the DC mili-volt on a multimeter which is proportional to the temperature. (1 mV is 1 °C or ° F)
7. Select a better resolution to 0.1 mV on a multimeter if want to see the difference to 0.1 degree.
Calibration Equipment
The pre-calibration guide lines are shown as follows:
•
Be sure you are a qualified person to perform the calibration
•
The environment should be 23 °C ±2 °C and the relative humidity (RH) shall be < 80%.
The test equipment requirements listed in table below or equivalents are required to perform the calibration
and performance verification test procedures. Alternative equipment may be used as long as the accuracy is as
good as or better than the specifications listed.
