Ordering Information

Aspirated Thermocouple

ASPTC

Aspirated Thermocouple with Radiation Shield.. Must specify 

signal and power cable lengths (see below).

Cable Lengths

-L

After the -L, enter the signal cable length in feet.  A 15-ft 

length is typically used.

-LP

After the -LP, enter the power cable length in feet. A 15-ft 

length is typically used.

Mounts

UT018 -5

Tower Mounting Bracket with 5-ft Crossarm

Mounting

The ASPTC can be mounted to a tripod or tower via the UT018-5 
crossarm or a user-supplied crossarm that has a square cross sec-
tion of 3.8 cm by 3.8 cm (1.5 inch by 1.5 inch). 

Power Considerations

The ASPTC is typically powered with a user-supplied deep cycle 
battery that is recharged with an SP20R, SP50, or SP90 solar panel; 
for high current drain systems two SP90 solar panels may be used 
to provide 180 W of power. The datalogger’s rechargeable bat-
tery can only be used if it is connected to ac power. For help on 
analyzing your system’s power requirements, refer to our Power 
Supply brochure or application note.
