General
Tolerance class	2

The K-thermocouple probe SK6 from Chauvin Arnoux is a flexible temperature probe designed for applications where conventional probes cannot be used due to their shape or size. With a measurement range of -50 °C to 285 °C and tolerance class 2, it enables precise temperature measurements in industrial and laboratory environments. The probe features a small diameter of 1 mm and a length of 1 m, making it particularly suitable for use in hard-to-reach areas. It is not intended for use in liquids.

Applications
This probe is suitable for industrial and laboratory temperature measurements, especially where flexible adaptation to irregular surfaces or confined spaces is required. Due to its small dimensions, it can be mounted in narrow slots, grooves, or on moving components. The application is exclusively on solid surfaces or in air, not in liquids.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The probe has a response time of 1 second in direct contact and 3 seconds at room temperature, ensuring fast and reliable measurement. Its flexible construction allows easy bending and adaptation to different geometries. The thermocouple probes are interchangeable and equipped with compensated miniature connectors, ensuring a secure electrical connection.

Technology Explained Simply
A K-thermocouple probe uses thermoelectricity, where a temperature difference between two different metals generates an electrical voltage. This voltage is measured and converted into a temperature value. Tolerance class 2 corresponds to a maximum deviation of ±2.2 °C in the range from -40 °C to +350 °C, which is sufficient for many industrial applications. The compensated miniature connectors ensure stable and noise-free signal transmission.

Compatibility and Accessories
The probe is compatible with thermometers C.A 1821, C.A 1822, TK 2000, TK 2002, and data logger L642. With an adapter, it can also be used as an accessory for multimeters. As an alternative, the surface temperature probe SK5 is available, which has a larger diameter (5 mm) and shorter length (15 cm), specifically designed for surface measurements with spring contact.

Mounting and Installation
Installation is done by direct contact of the probe tip with the surface to be measured. Due to its flexibility, the probe can be mounted at various positions. Connection to the measuring device is made via the compensated miniature connector. It must be ensured that the probe is not used in liquids.

Operational Advantages
The probe offers high flexibility, fast response times, and precise measurement within the defined temperature range. Interchangeability and compatibility with various measuring devices increase reusability and reduce maintenance effort. The compensated connectors ensure reliable signal transmission, even in moving or vibrating installations.

Scope of Delivery
The scope of delivery includes 1 x K-thermocouple probe (flexible) and 1 x user instructions.
