From RS PRO a 12-way panel mount type K thermocuple selector switch, also known as a thermocouple switch box with a simple to use multipole rotary selector switch. This thermocouple selector switch provides an effective and reliable way of allowing up to 12 type K-type thermocouple, probe or RTD signals to be switched to a common display or control unit. The unit is internally wired with thermocouple compensating cable and is compatible with all type K thermocouples. A 1 metre type K fixed lead is supplied with this unit which is connected to external equipment.
How Does a Thermocouple Selector Switch Work ?
The 12 rear inputs or channels allow readings from multiple K-type temperature sensor inputs to be monitored on a single K output. The 12 inputs are connected to individual RTDs or thermocouples and the single output is connected via a cable to an external temperature measuring device such as a digital thermometer. To select the sensor you want to measure simply turn the switch on the front of the panel which is clearly marked with the channel number. The selected channel will then be directed to the output socket to external measuring equipment.
