TC2000
COMBINES BENEFITS OF DRY BLOCK, LIQUID BATH, REFERENCE THERMOMETER AND
UP TO 20-POINT AUTOMATED CALIBRATION IN ONE UNIT
Probably the most complete temperature calibration system ever built, Tek Know’s TC2000 is designed to combine a dry block
calibrator, a liquid bath calibrator and a reference thermometer in one uniquely portable design. Get all the advantages of both dry
blocks and liquid baths in one calibrator.
With the onboard WINDOWS CE computer and full graphic LCD display, the TC2000 is incredibly user friendly. Set up of an
automated 20 point comparison calibration is menu driven and the TC2000 clearly displays temperature of both your sensor under
test and if desired an optional external reference probe. In addition a graph of the sensor temperature and block temperature is
displayed to accurately verify when stability is reached.
The massive 2” diameter well allows for multiple probes to be inserted in either a liquid bath or metal block. The large calibration
volume provides the TC2000 with excellent stability and accuracy. The TC2000 offers a temperature range of -40°C below ambient
to +150°C.
