DTM 995
LCD Type K Thermocouple Indicator
This meter will give a direct reading in °C from a K type (chromel-alumel) thermocouple sensor. The circuit uses a converter/amplifier
which has Cold Junction Compensation. Calibration is by two 20-turn cermet potentiometers which allow sensitive adjustment of the
instrument. The meter can also operate without a thermocouple to read room temperature. The meter is housed in a robust carrier,
which can be bolted in place or panel mounted using the low profile bezel, window and clips provided. The meter can also be backlit for
use in poor visibility.
