T-type Pod for Temperature Measurement – price per piece

T-type Pod for Temperature Measurement

The T-type Pod (ML312) from ADInstruments is a compact signal conditioner for measuring physiological temperature with T-type thermocouples. It connects directly to thermocouples with miniature flat-pin connectors and gives an output of 10 mV/°C over 0 to 50 °C. The signal is amplified, cold-junction compensated and filtered with a 2-pole 10 Hz Butterworth filter to reduce mains interference. The output is not linearised, but a calibration table is supplied for unit conversion in the software.

Key features

• Works with any T-type thermocouple fitted with a miniature thermocouple connector
• Cold-junction (ice point) compensation
• 10 Hz low-pass filter to reduce mains interference
