The DP9602 provides precise platinum resistance 
thermometer temperature measurement and logging 
for exacting applications in both laboratory and site 
locations. It is an exceptionally accurate and stable 
DP9602 shown smaller  
than actual size.
digital thermometer particularly suitable for use with 
thermal calibration baths as a reference standard.
The DP9602 is fully characterised for Pt100 sensors 
and all major thermocouples J, K, N, T, E, R, S and B. 
Exceptionally stable automatic cold junction  
compensation with a rejection of 100:1 is incorporated 
for thermocouple ranges. Alternatively, external or 
manual referencing can be selected as required.
Applications include medical, pharmaceutical, food,  
environmental testing, R&D and educational  
establishments.
Displayed values and user information are indicated  
on a bright clear LED screen with diffused backlighting. 
Data can be displayed in °C, °F, K, Ω as required;  
nine front panel push keys, the only user controls, are 
used in conjunction with the display screen. It is this  
arrangement which makes for very simple and  
“friendly” operation. There are four input ports, two for 
thermocouples and two for 3- or 4-wire Pt100 sensors; 
the instrument automatically recognises 3- or 4-wire  
configurations. The DP9602 can accept two Pt100  
sensors and/or two thermocouples of similar or  
different types. The measured temperature can be  
displayed directly from one of the inputs or  
differentially between similar or different inputs.  
Differential temperature and the two individual channel  
temperatures are displayed simultaneously.
All four inputs can be scanned and values logged  
according to parameters set up by the user in the  
PC software; the instrument incorporates a real-time 
clock and on-board memory. A flash drive USB port is 
provided to allow data to be stored and/or exported.  
PC software running in Windows® is provided as 
standard; it allows programming of custom calibration, 
remote control and measure and logging functions.
