Thermocouple / Millivolt Modules

Thermocouple Millivolt Module for Pace XR440 Data Logger
Mvt Thermocouple / Millivolt Module

Seven Millivolt modules enable the XR440 Data Logger to accept a millivolt signal on channel 3. Three modules (Mvt-11b, Mvt-22b, Mvt-50u) accept a thermocouple (Type J, K, N, R, S, T, B, C, or E). A built-in, precision thermistor on channel 1 provides ambient temperature readings and for a thermocouple, cold junction compensation. An Mvt module configures a Pocket Logger as follows: Channel 1: Ambient temperature. Channel 3: Millivolt (or thermocouple) signal. Channels 2 and 4: 'Standard' channels for any Pace sensors, or 0-5 vdc or resistive signals. The Mvt-20u, Mvt-96u, Mvt-107b and Mvt-500u do not accept a Thermocouple.

Mvt-50u Thermocouple Limitation: The Mvt-50u must be set (in Pocket Logger Software) to read either high or low temperatures. When set for high temperatures, the low temperature limit is the ambient temperature of the Mvt Module. When set for low temperatures, the high temperature limit is the ambient temperature of the Mvt Module. The Mvt-11b and Mvt-22b do not have this limitation.
