Introduction
The 18 Point Type K Thermocouple Remote Temperature Recorder, (RTR) for short, is a wireless recorder used in any application where the object in question is moving, no access to run the thermocouple wires, or the technician has limited space to work. This RTR model TS002 is compact, light weight and it is very easy to attach the batteries to the transmitter even when in motion.
There are 3 main components to the RTR:
- Transmitter
- Receiver
- Personal Computer
The transmitter has an 18 point type K thermocouple jack strip with two batteries attached , one to the left and one to the right side of the unit. It accepts thermocouple inputs then wirelessly transmits them to the receiver. The Receiver receives the signals from the transmitter and sends them to the computer via a USB cable. The RTR also has the capablity to connect multiple 18 point transmitter units if the job requires more than 18 points or the thermocouple wires are too far apart. The RTR uses the KIDS software for monitoring, acquiring and storing data.
