Thermocouple-to-Wireless Connector/Converter

By DE Editors

Omega Engineering, Inc.'s (Stamford, CT) Universal Wireless Thermocouple Connector (UWTC) Series, The Smart Connector, offers stand-alone, compact, battery-powered thermocouple connectors that transmit linearized, cold junction compensated measurements back to a USB-powered receiver connected to a PC.

Each wireless connector unit can be programmed in the field to work as a type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N or C calibration connector. The patented universal input accepts both standard and miniature size mating connectors. When activated, the connector will transmit data continuously at different user selectable time intervals. Up to 12 wireless connectors can be used with a single receiver.

The included software program converts a PC into a 12-channel meter, strip chart recorder, and data logger. Readings can be saved and later printed or exported to a spreadsheet file.

Price: starts at $125
