TN 16I / 12 I / 8I

 

TN 16I, TN 12I, and TN 8I are multi-channel thermometer (16, 12 or 8 input channels) with permanent supply of each of the 16, 12 or 8 probes attached. It offers very high precision measurements to an accuracy of +/-0.002°C or better (when used with ITS-90 Pt100 sensor) with resolution at an impressive 0.001°C (over the entire range -180 to +650°C). Channel selection is performed either manually or automatically (scanning) or remotely.

Other key performances are:

- Long-term drift < 0.005°C +0.001% of Rdg (per year)

- Short-term stability (jitter) < 0.5 digit ( = 0.0005°C)

- Temperature coefficient < 1ppm/°C (max.)

- Probe linearization (ITS-90) to better than 0.002°C
