DTS4050 – Digital Temperature Scanner

Digital Temperature Scanner, is a multi-channel thermocouple scanner. Available channel configurations are 16 or 32 channels.

Overview

Model DTS4050, Digital Temperature Scanner, is a multi-channel thermocouple scanner. Available channel configurations are 16 or 32 channels. The DTS incorporates RAM, Integral Low Pass Filters, 22 bit A/D converters, and a microprocessor, all in a rugged stand alone scanner. An isothermal block is incorporated for the Uniform Temperature Reference (UTR) for each channel input. NIST thermocouple tables for standard thermocouple types are stored in flash memory and are used for accurate conversion to a configurable engineering units. The microprocessor uses these look-up tables to convert mV inputs to Engineering Units. Temperature data are output in °C, °F, °R, K, millivolts and A/D counts. The DTS4050 accuracy for different thermocouple types range from ±0.5°C to ±2.0°C depending on the thermocouple type and the useful temperature range. Multiple standard thermocouple types may be used with one intelligent thermocouple scanner, with each channel having its own thermocouple type and grounding scenario configuration. Standard DTS modules come with screw terminal inputs that allow for two or three wire shielded or non shielded thermocouple connections. Heaters are available for extended operational temperature in the 16 and 32 channel variants.
