General
Thermocouple type	K

This temperature sensor from Chauvin Arnoux is a thermocouple adapter of type K, specifically designed for use with multimeters and multi-function clamp meters that feature a temperature measurement range and a 19 mm socket spacing. It serves as measurement accessory for precise temperature measurement in industrial, technical, and scientific applications. The probe enables measurements in the range of -50 °C to 450 °C, making it suitable for both low-temperature and high-temperature applications. The probe length is approximately 100 cm, allowing flexible handling and use in hard-to-reach locations.

Applications
The temperature sensor is suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing technology, as well as in maintenance and servicing. It is used, for example, to monitor motors, transformers, heating systems, cooling circuits, or electronic components. The measurement range of -50 °C to 450 °C covers a broad spectrum relevant to many industrial processes. The insulated D4 banana plugs with 19 mm spacing ensure a secure and compatible connection to standard measuring instruments.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device operates as a type K thermocouple, based on the Seebeck effect, meaning it generates a voltage due to temperature differences between two different metal conductors. This voltage is converted by the connected multimeter or clamp meter into temperature values. The probe length of approximately 100 cm provides sufficient clearance for use in confined spaces or for measuring objects that are not directly accessible. The banana plugs are insulated and designed for secure connection to devices with 19 mm socket spacing.

Technology Explained Simply
A type K thermocouple consists of two different metal conductors (usually nickel-chromium and nickel-aluminium) that are fused together at one end. At this measurement point, a small electrical voltage is generated when there is a temperature difference, proportional to the temperature difference. The connected measuring device converts this voltage into a temperature display. The measurement accuracy depends on the quality of the thermocouple and the calibration of the connected device. The insulated D4 banana plugs prevent short circuits and ensure a safe electrical connection.

Compatibility and Accessories
The temperature sensor is compatible with all multimeters and multi-function clamp meters that support a temperature measurement range and a socket spacing of 19 mm. It is not a standalone measuring instrument, but an accessory that connects to existing measuring devices. Therefore, use requires a corresponding device with temperature function.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the insulated D4 banana plugs into the corresponding sockets of the multimeter or multi-function clamp meter. The probe is placed directly on the surface to be measured or into the environment to be measured. The length of approximately 100 cm allows flexible positioning. The user instruction is included in the delivery and provides guidance for correct handling.

Advantages in Operation
The temperature sensor offers a wide measurement range, sufficient for many industrial applications. The length of approximately 100 cm increases flexibility when measuring in hard-to-reach locations. The compatibility with standard measuring instruments with 19 mm socket spacing ensures universal usability. The insulated banana plugs enhance safety during use. The included instruction supports correct handling.

Scope of Delivery
The delivery includes the temperature sensor and the user instruction.
