Description

The TDX6 is an advanced design 6-point temperature scanner and
pyrometer. It continually scans up to six thermocouples and
sequentially displays the thermocouple number and its reading.
Each sensor input has a field settable trip point for alarm, shut-
down or control. A read/scan
selector allows the operator to set
and view each trip point. With the
selector in the scan mode, a
“thermocouple read” push button
provides a means to manually
toggle through the six channels
and to lock in on a specific chan-
nel. Normal scanning will resume
approximately three seconds after releasing the push button. All
trip points are continually armed and active during the scanning
process.

Type “J” or “K”, grounded

or ungrounded thermocouples are

accommodated. Other types are available upon request.

The TDX6 can interface with other Murphy SELECTRONIC

Six (6) isolated Field-Effect

Transistor (F.E.T.) outputs; 0.1 A @ 250 VDC; switches on
(applies ground) above trip point and switches off (removes
ground) below trip point.

from 150-1200°F (66-649°C) ±1.0% of reading.

With K-type thermocouple: 

from 400-2000°F (204-1076°C)

±1.0% of reading.

Trip Point Accuracy: 

±3°F (±2°C) of reading.

Trip Point Adjustment Range: 

0-1999 Degrees.

Open Thermocouple Input:

Model TDX6

Using grounded thermocouples introduces the risk of odd currents or voltages

being imposed on the thermocouple signal which can affect the accuracy of the
reading. This is an inherent problem of grounded thermocouples, the reason why
we prefer ungrounded thermocouples.
