44 Thermocouple Probes OVEN TRACKER XL2
Communications Setup dialog), may be broken. Inconsistent readings may
indicate an intermittent short circuit.
2. If a satisfactory ambient reading is recorded, apply heat to the
thermocouple-tip via fingers or other heat source. An increased
temperature should register:
○ If the reading does not change, the thermocouple is short circuit and
must be replaced.
○ If the probe measures air temperature, the cable may have damage which
has created a new hot junction.
○ If the thermometer shows a decrease, the thermocouple connections are
reversed.
3. Confirm correct operation at 100°C/212°F by placing the thermocouple-tip
in freshly-boiled water.
4. Replace any damaged cables.
Care of Thermocouples
When coiling thermocouple cables for storage, ensure the diameter of the coil
is not less than 40 cm (16 in.).
Examine the cables after each profile run, and replace any found to have
damaged insulation.
