80PK-1
WARNING
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS PROBE
WHEN VOLTAGES EXCEEDING 24V AC RMS OR 60V DC ARE
PRESENT. THE PROBE TIP IS ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED
TO THE OUTPUT TERMINALS.
INTRODUCTION
The 80PK-1 is a Type K Bead Thermocouple designed for
general purpose temperature measuring applications. It has an
extremely fast response time, due to the low thermal mass of the
exposed tip. The 40-inch (1-meter) Teflon cable is terminated with
a Type K miniature thermocouple connector with 0.312-inch
(0.792-mm) pin spacing. The 80PK-1 can be used with any
temperature measuring instrument that is designed to accept
Type K thermocouples and that has a miniature connector input.
The 80PK-1 must be used in Teflon-compatible environments and
is not suitable for liquid immersion. Above 260°C (500°F), Teflon
will emit toxic fumes.

MEASUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS Instrument Compatibility The 80PK-1 is designed to be compatible with any temperature measuring instrument that accepts Type K thermocouples, has a miniature thermocouple connector, and has cold reference Fluke-Direct information@ITM.com...
- Page 3 Accuracy of the temperature measuring instrument must be considered along with the 80PK-1 accuracy specification in order to determine the overall accuracy of the combination. Temperature Limitations The 260°C continuos temperature rating of the 80PK-1 is primarily determined by the Teflon insulation. The bead alone may be momentarily subjected to higher temperatures without damage.
- Page 4 2. Check for an open circuit indicator on the measuring instrument. Some temperature measuring instruments have a built-in circuit to indicate if the connected probe is open. (All Fluke instruments have this feature.) Refer to the measuring instrument’s owner’s manual to see if this feature is available.
