TC-08 Single Channel Terminal Board for Voltage and Current Signals
The USB TC-08 8-channel thermocouple data logger has always been able to measure small voltages as well as temperatures, but until now there was no off-the-shelf product allowing easy connection of signal wires, because the TC-08 has only got sockets for thermocouple plugs.
That problem is solved now with the USB TC-08 single-channel terminal board. The screw terminals allow wires to be attached to the data logger without soldering.
The new board has a number of screw terminals for voltage ranges of 0 to ±50 mV, 0 to ±500 mV and 0 to ±5 V, and plugs into any thermocouple socket on the USB TC-08. On-board resistors divide the input voltage to a level suitable for the USB TC-08. There is another selectable range for measuring 4 to 20 mA loop currents, allowing the connection (sink) of several industrially used sensors.
You can plug in up to 8 of these boards into a single USB TC-08.
With this accessory it is possible now to record temperatures, voltages and currents coincidentally with the USB TC-08. The voltage and current signals can be parameterised by means of the PicoLog software, that means they can be automatically be adjusted to the right readings and physical units.Please note:
This terminal board was exclusively developed for the Pico USB TC-08 data logger and doesn't work with any other instruments, having a thermocouple input jacket!
