External temperature
The Keithley Instruments Model 6517-TP temperature probe is a K-type thermocouple sensor that
measures external temperature. This sensor plugs into the TEMP TYPE K connector on the rear
panel of the 6517B. You can measure temperatures from –25 °C to 150 °C using the Model 6517-TP
temperature probe.
Do not allow the exposed thermocouple sensor to come in contact with chassis ground or to a voltage
potential. This causes erroneous readings. The thermocouple must be electrically insulated before
attaching it to a device that is at chassis ground or has a voltage on it.
