The CurveX 3 Basic thermocouple connectors
The CurveX 3 Basic is equipped with four thermocouple (K-type) connectors. The connectors
are numbered 1 to 4. See the front of the data logger.
3.1.1
Connecting the probes
To measure the ambient temperature and the temperature of a product up to four probes
can be connected to the connectors. The logger automatically detects the connected probes.
To ensure accurate measurements, use only the K type sensors (+: NiCr / -: NiAl). The pins on a
thermocouple plug are of different widths and can only be plugged in one way. See figure 2
Common probes as clamp, ring-type, and wire probes can be used but also special infrared
probes.
Figure 2.
The position of the sensors on the object can be stored in Ideal Finish Analysis. The position
will then also be available in the reports.
Remark:
Make sure that the probe cables are free from
objects and the oven walls, floor, sealing and burners,
etc. to prevent them from snagging, as this may cause
serious damage to the probe and the instrument. Also
check whether the probes have been placed securely so
that they do not fall off during the process.
Options:
When there is too much cable length you can connect
the extended cable length to the gray loop on the side
of the insulation box next to the grip.
Precautions:
Use heat protective gloves when removing the sensors.
Remove the probes carefully; do not pull the cables.
To prevent tears in the cable sheath and broken cores,
do not wind the probe wires too tightly.
