The thermocouple adapters are designed to integrate either the AKCP thermocouple, or a third party thermocouple with the securityProbe and sensorProbe+ series of units. Available in either J or K type adapter it subscribes to the industry standard for thermocouples.
Thermocouples are typically used in heavy industry and cryogenics fields due to their accuracy and resistance to extremes of high and low temperatures. The setup is straightforward. Plug your thermocouple into the adapter, and then connect the adapter to an intelligent sensor port on the securityProbe or sensorProbe+ base unit.
A free 5ft CAT5 cable is supplied for you to do this. Once connected the securityProbe or sensorProbe+ recognizes the thermocouple automatically and configures the unit. All the user needs to do is set the thresholds for high and low warning and critical levels.
