Linearity Correction Curve

This curve gives the value that is necessary to add to the reading, in order to take variations due to non-linearity into account.
Example: Reading: +1100°F Linearity Correction: -5°F Corrected Reading: 1100°F ± 1% ± 2°F = ± 13°F 1100°F - 5°F = 1095 ± 13°F

4. OPERATION
• Select the range required: up to +200°F or +2000°F for Model K2000F or select mV input for Model ST2-2000.
• Make sure that the sensor connected is suitable for the measurement about to be taken.
• Position the sensor at the point of measurement.
• Wait a few seconds for the sensor to stabilize (refer to sensor response time in Section 6).
• Check the reading when the indication settles.
The body of the thermometer must be kept within the temperature range 32°F to 122°F (0°C to +50°C).
5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
• The 9V battery is accessible through the back of the instrument.
• Unscrew and remove the rear half of the case.
• Replace the battery and put the case back together.
Always disconnect the sensor from the thermometer before open­ing the case.

6. SENSORS AND PROBE EXTENSIONS

General Notes

ISOLATION

The thermocouple is incorporated into the extreme tip of each of the sen­sors described in this booklet. The thermocouple is solid with the body of the sensor.

SENSOR RESPONSE TIME

The response time of a thermocouple is the time taken for it to settle to a new value after the introduction of a temperature step. For a thermocouple plugged into a medium having a high caloric value, good thermal conduc­tivity and good thermal contact, the response time should be extremely short (intrinsic response time). If the thermal medium is unfavorable (e.g. calm air) the actual response time could attain 100 times or more of the thermocouple itself. Values for the K2000F and ST2-2000 sensors have been established under the following conditions:
• For supple and auto-grip surface sensors in contact with a polished stainless steel plate coated with silicon grease.
• For the air sensor, in agitated air (1 m/s).
• For the other sensors, by immersion in agitated water at 194°F (90°C) (agitation speed: 0.3 to 0.5 m/s).

TEMPERATURE RANGE

The temperature range for each sensor is given for use in chemically neu­tral environments. The introduction of a sensor into a corrosive medium could shorten its life or limit recommended working range.

SENSOR CLASSIFICATIONS

K type thermocouple sensors are either Class I or II (according to stan­dard NF C 43-322). Class I is denominated reduced tolerance and Class II standard tolerance.
CLASS I ± 3°F (1.5°C) ± 0.4% reading
CLASS II ± 5°F (2.5°C) ± 0.75% reading
-40°F 32°F 626°F

Sensors

Needle Sensor SK1

Working Range: -58°F to 1472°F (-50°C to 800°C) Time Constant: 1 second Length: 5.9” Class: II (NF C 42-322 standard)
Bevelled tip needle sensor for insertion into pastes, fats, liquids etc. The tip of the sensor must be inserted at least .79” (20mm).

Formable Sensor SK2

Working Range: -58°F to 1832°F (-50°C to 1000°C) Time Constant: 2 seconds Length: 39” Class: II (NF C 42-322 standard)
This sensor can be formed to suit most needs. Curvature must never be less than twice the diameter of the sensor shank. This sensor comprises a stainless steel sheathed thermocouple, it can resist corrosion in a great number of hot liquids and gases.

Semi-Rigid Sensor SK3

Working Range: -58°F to 1832°F (-50°C to 1000°C) Time Constant: 6 seconds Length: 19.6” Class: II (NF C 42-322 standard)
This sensor comprises a sheathed thermocouple (same as SK2), but it does not bend as easily. Though, it does allow enough exibility to reach some of the more awkwardly placed measuring points.

Surface Sensor SK4

Working Range: -32°F to 482°F (-0°C to 250°C) Time Constant: 1 second Length: 5.9” Class: II (NF C 42-322 standard)
The tip is particularly well adapted to point measurement on small sur­faces: electronic components, radiators, solar panels, heat exchangers, etc. Hold the probe perpendicular to the surface to ensure good contact. The surface should be at. Change the position of the probe slightly if necessary to obtain the highest reading. The use of silicon grease can improve the contact quality.

Surface Sensor SK5

Working Range: -58°F to 932°F (-50°C to 500°C) Time Constant: 1 second Length: 5.9” Class: II (NF C 42-322 standard)
This sensor, for at surfaces, is tted with a spring loaded tip which per­mits good contact, even if the sensor is not exactly perpendicular to the surface. The use of silicon grease improves the quality of contact.

Supple Sensor SK6

Working Range: -58°F to 545°F (-50°C to 285°C) Time Constant: 1 second for contact measurement
3 seconds for ambient air measurement
Length: 39” Class: I (NF C 42-322 standard)
This supple sensor is both thin and long. It is recommended for measure­ment areas that are difcult to reach. It must not be used with liquids because the tip is not water resistant. It has a Kapton sheath (derived from Teon).

Air Sensor SK7

Working Range: -58°F to 482°F (-50°C to 250°C) Time Constant: 5 seconds Length: 5.9” Class: I (NF C 42-322 standard)
Suitable for all ambient air measurement. The extremely small sensitive element is protected by a metallic shroud. During measurement in still air conditions, it is recommended that the probe should be waved from side to side, or up and down if you prefer.

Extension Leads

Probe Extension CK1

Resistance: 4 / meter Dielectric Strength: 1000V AC
A probe extension which conforms to NF C 42-324 standard. The thermo­sensitive material of the extensions differs from the K type thermocouples of the sensors. It does however, possess the same electrical characteris­tics within the working range: -13°F to +194°F (-25°C to +90°C). In other words, the extensions are thermo-compensated.
Never use ordinary cable to connect a sensor to the probe.

Probe Extension CK2

Identical characteristics to CK1, except this extension has bared wires at one extremity, permitting it to be connected to the screw terminals of sen­sors already in position For example, it could be employed with sensors which are installed in an oven.

Probe Extension CK4

Specications are the same as the CK1. This extension lead is equipped with 2 insulated banana plugs (4mm) for connection to multimeters pro­vided with a temperature range (type K thermocouples), thus enabling connection of the SK1 to SK7 sensors range.
The black plug corresponds to the thermocoupler “–” and the red to “+”.
