Measurment Considerations
The 80PK-8 is designed to be compatible with any
temperature-measuring instrument that accepts
miniature Type K thermocouples with cold
reference junction compensation. The accuracy of
the temperature-measurement is a factor of the
combined accuracy of the temperature measuring
instrument and the 80PK-8.
A lowering of the temperature at the sensor
contact point is less likely (and response time is
faster) on clean, polished, thermally conductive
surfaces, then on surfaces with low thermal
conductivity, such as plastic or rough, greasy
surfaces. To obtain the best thermal contact and
performance, the pipe must be centered in the “V”
notch of the probe jaw.
To get the most accurate temperature
measurement, adjust the connection between the
sensor and the pipe until you get the maximum or
minimum temperature reading.
When measuring the temperature of a rough
surface, do not rotate the clamp. You might
damage the sensor.
Using the miniature thermocouple connector,
connect the 80PK-8 to a compatible Type K
temperature measuring instrument.
Turn on the measuring instrument and select
the appropriate range and scale.
If you are using a temperature conversion
module (the 80TK, for example), insert the
module into the V and COM inputs of the
meter and select the mV dc function.
Using your thumb or the palm of your hand,
press down on the plunger to open the jaws
of the probe wide enough to easily
encompass the pipe.
Center the pipe on the “V” notch (see Figure
1) on the jaw of the probe and relax pressure
on the plunger.
Read the temperature on the measuring
instrument. When no heat or cold is applied to
the sensor the measuring instrument should
display the ambient temperature. If the
instrument does not readout properly, refer to
“Troubleshooting”.
