7.7 Thermocouple (Type K) Contact Measurements
WARNING
The supplied thermocouple must not be used to measure temperature above 500℉
(260℃). If higher temperatures are to be measured, a thermocouple that is specified for
the desired range must be used. Attempting to measure temperature higher than 500℉
(260℃) with the supplied thermocouple will damage the probe and the meter.
The TG56–2 includes a thermocouple input socket, located at the top of the
meter. The TG56–2 is configured to accept a Type K thermocouple.
To ensure proper polarity, the meter’s sub-miniature input socket is keyed so
that the thermocouple plug can only be inserted in one orientation. Ensure
that the thermocouple connector is correctly oriented before applying pres-
sure to insert it.
Figure 7.5 TG56–2 with thermocouple connected.
When a thermocouple is connected, the meter displays a thermocouple sym-
bol
.
Hold the measurement tip of the thermocouple to the surface under test and
read the measurement at the bottom right of the meter’s display, in small dig-
its. The IR temperature is shown at the centre of the display in large digits.
