Temperature Measurement; Thermocouple Use - Fluke 753 User Manual

Temperature Measurement

Thermocouple Use

The Product supports thirteen standard thermocouples,
each identified with an alpha character: E, N, J, K, T, B, R,
S, C, L, U, XK, or BP. Table 7 summarizes the ranges and
qualities of the supported thermocouples.
To measure temperature using a thermocouple:
1. Attach the thermocouple leads to the correct TC
miniplug, then to the TC input/output. See Figure 15.
Caution
To prevent possible damage to the Product, do
not try to force a miniplug in the wrong
polarization. One pin is wider than the other.
If the Product and the thermocouple plug are at
different temperatures, stop for one minute or more
for the connector temperature to stabilize after you
plug the miniplug into the TC input/output.
2. If necessary, push  for MEASURE mode.
3. Push t.
4. Select TC.
5. The display tells you to select the thermocouple type.
6. Select the necessary thermocouple type using the  or
 followed by .

3. Push  and  to move the cursor to the
necessary parameter.
4. Push  or the Choices softkey to choose a
setting for that parameter.
5. Push  or  to move the cursor to the necessary
setting.
6. Push  to go back to the s display.
7. Push the Done softkey or s to exit Setup mode.
8. If necessary, change between ITS-90 or IPTS-68
Temperature Scale in Setup mode. The procedure is
the same as steps 1-7 above.
