Fluke 80TK Instruction Sheet

Introduction
The Fluke 80TK is a thermocouple converter for use with any
K-type thermocouple and a digital multimeter. The 80TK
accepts the output of any K-type thermocouple and converts it
to 1 mV per degree (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
A three-position switch acts as a power switch as well as
selecting Fahrenheit or Celsius scaling for the output. In
addition, the OFF position of the power switch allows you to
read the battery condition via the external multimeter. The
thermocouple input accepts wire leads or standard mini-
thermocouple connectors.
Temperature is measured by exposing or attaching the
thermocouple to the surface to be measured. The multimeter
displays the temperature directly in degrees Fahrenheit or
Celsius.

Note: Ignore decimal point on 2 V, 3 V, or 4 V range.
Maximum Voltage at Thermocouple Input: 60 V dc, 24V ac
RF Field: Exposure to an rf field interferes significantly with this
module's capacity to accurately measure temperature with
thermocouples. The interference is temporary and the module
suffers no harm when exposed to an rf field of 3 V/m. Accurate
temperature measurement capability is completely restored
when the module is removed from the rf field.
Common sources of rf fields are handheld 2-way radios and
cellular telephones. If such a source is suspected of interfering
with this module, either turn off the transmitter or increase the
separation between the transmitter and the module.

Temperature Coefficient:
* 0 °C to 18 °C and 28 °C to 50 °C ambient, multiply the basic
accuracy specification by 0.1 for each degree above 28 or
below 18.
† For accuracy enhancement between 351 °C to 500 °C,
subtract 3 degrees from the reading. The accuracy is now
0.75 % ± 2 °C.
†* For accuracy enhancement between 663 °F and 932 °F,
subtract 5.4 degrees from the reading. The accuracy is now
0.75 % ± 3.6 °F.
The basic accuracy specification does not include the
error of the probe or the DMM. Please refer to the
probe accuracy specification for additional details.
