High temperature measurement

Post by Anders »

Hello,

I have a problem with high temperature measurements. I want to measure up to 850 degC, but when the logger reach about 600 degC it stops at that temperature. Have I missed some settings or is the logger out of order?
I am using a TC-08 serial unit, type K thermocouple and the PicoLog program. Checked the thermocouple and it´s ok, also checked other channels but the same problem.

Hi

Thank you for your post.

The TC-08 is definately capable of measuring these temperatures. I would suggest it could be a grounding issue as these can occur at higher temperatures. I recommend to ground the TC-08 directly by connecting the outer casing of the RS232 port direct to ground.

Let me know how you get on with this.

Best Regards

Run the laptop on batteri, it didn´t help.
I have looked trough your forum and tried every possible suggestions.
What to do?
