4. Functionality
The SETEKHO4 operates as a contact-type surface temperature sensor based on the thermoelectric principle of a Type K thermocouple. When the probe tip makes contact with a surface, the temperature difference between the measuring junction (at the probe tip) and the reference junction (at the instrument connection) generates a small voltage proportional to the temperature. This voltage is interpreted by a compatible measuring device (e.g., digital thermometer, data logger, or process controller) to display the corresponding temperature value.
Use Cases and Applications:
- Industrial process monitoring and maintenance
- HVAC system diagnostics and surface temperature verification
