ADAM-6018 - 0704 - 1/1 
Model ADAM-6018 
Accurate and Reliable Thermocouple 
Measurement for Industrial Automation 
8-Channel Thermocouple Input with DO Module 
Overview 
The ADAM-6018 8-channel thermocouple input module is the most prevailing temperature sensor in today’s industrial 
automation market. In addition to 8 T/C input channels, the ADAM-6018 is also equipped with 8 digital output channels 
such as auxiliary alarm outputs or pure outputs. It also comes with an external DIN-rail terminal board for wiring 
between the ADAM-6018 module and the field sensor. This special wiring mechanism greatly enhances the accuracy 
and reliability for thermocouple measurement in environmental and facility monitoring applications.
