4. Functionality
The MDTEK3702 operates on the thermoelectric principle, generating a voltage proportional to the temperature difference between its measuring junction and reference junction. The Type K thermocouple uses a Nickel-Chromium (NiCr) and Nickel (Ni) alloy pair, producing a stable and repeatable electromotive force (EMF) over a wide temperature range.
