TCK-4 Thermocouple Amplifier


 

The TCK-4 is a low cost 4-channel type-k thermocouple amplifier unit. The TCK-4 produces a high-level voltage output proportional to input temperature for use with the LabJack U12 and other data acquisition and control systems.

 

Description

 

 

 

The TCK-4 is a four-channel type-k thermocouple amplifier unit. The TCK-4 has been designed to interface type-k thermocouples to data acquisition systems such as the LabJack U12.

Features

  • 4 differential type-k thermocouple input channels

  • 10mV/°C output
  • -200°C to 1250°C thermocouple range
  • On-board cold junction compensation
  • Single 5V or 7 to 28V supply
  • Low current consumption
  • All IO via screw terminals
  • Desktop, panel or DIN Rail mounting

Description

 

The TCK-4 consists of 4 high-precision low-power instrumentation amplifiers. The gain of each amplifier is pre-set to give a standard 10mV per degree celsius output for a type-k thermocouple input. Thermocouple linearisation is not included, so the output follows the non-linearity of a type k thermocouple. The gain is set at a thermocouple input of 25°C.

Typical output readings for an input temperature are shown below;
