Thermocouple / Millivolt Modules

Mvt-11b Thermocouple / Millivolt Module for the XR450 Data Logger

Thermocouple / Millivolt Module

Two Millivolt modules enable the XR440 or XR450 Data Logger to read a millivolt signal on channel 3.  One module, the Mvt-50u accepts 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 thermocouple cold junction compensation.  An Mvt module configures the XR450 as follows:  Ambient temperature on channel 1.  Millivolt (or thermocouple if Mvt-50u) signal on channel 3.  Channels 2 and 4 are 'Standard' channels and will accept Pace sensors, 0-5 Vdc or resistive signals.

Thermocouple Specifications for Mvt-50u

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.
