TC100

1. Introduction

The Martel TC100 is designed to be a simple to
use, high accuracy thermocouple calibrator
capable of either simulating or reading J, K, T,
L, E, R, S, T, B, C, or mV thermocouple types. A
standard thermocouple mini-connector along
with screw terminals for bare wire makes con­nections easy while providing direct contact
with the internal cold junction compensation
circuitry.

When used as a thermocouple simulator, the
TC100 provides control which allow the user to
either “step” in increments or decades.
