The extension cable for thermocouples from Chauvin Arnoux is a specific accessory for extending the reach of temperature sensors. It is used for signal transmission between a thermocouple and a measuring device, with the connection made via a 5-pin DIN plug and a matching socket. The cable is designed for use in industrial environments, laboratories, or measurement tasks where a longer connection length is required without compromising measurement accuracy.
Applications
This cable is intended for applications where thermocouples must be connected to a measuring device over a greater distance. It is particularly suitable for environments where the measurement point cannot be located directly at the device, for example in production plants, test benches, or in research. The temperature resistance from -40 °C to 100 °C allows use in varying climatic conditions without the cable losing its functionality.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The extension cable has a length of 1 meter and a diameter of 4 mm. The connection is made via a 5-pin DIN plug at one end and a matching socket at the other end. This construction ensures a secure and mechanically stable connection, protected against accidental disconnection. Tolerance class 2 guarantees high measurement accuracy and reliable signal transmission, which is crucial for precise temperature measurements.
Technology Explained Simply
Thermocouples generate an electrical signal proportional to the measured temperature. This signal must be transmitted via the extension cable to the measuring device. The materials used in the cable are selected to influence the electrical properties of the signal as little as possible. Tolerance class 2 refers to the maximum deviation of the measured value from the actual value, with this class being sufficient for many industrial applications. The temperature resistance from -40 °C to 100 °C means the cable remains stable within this range and does not undergo material changes that could affect performance.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is specifically designed for extending and connecting thermocouples. It is equipped with a 5-pin DIN plug and socket, which represents a standard connection in measurement technology. It can be combined with thermocouples that also feature a 5-pin DIN connection. Use with other connection types is not intended and may lead to signal transmission errors.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply inserting the 5-pin DIN plug into the corresponding socket. It is important that the connection is secure and clean to ensure reliable signal transmission. The cable connection should be arranged so that no mechanical stress or bending forces occur, which could cause breakage or interruption. The user instructions included in the delivery contain additional guidance for correct handling.
Advantages in Operation
By extending the reach, the cable enables flexible placement of measuring devices without affecting measurement accuracy. The robust construction with DIN plug and socket ensures a secure connection that holds even under industrial conditions. Tolerance class 2 guarantees high precision, which is essential for many applications in measurement technology. The temperature resistance from -40 °C to 100 °C expands the range of use in various environments.
Scope of Delivery
The scope of delivery includes 1 x extension cable for thermocouples (1 m) and 1 x user instructions.
