EA15 accepts T-type :thumbsup:


"T-type thermocouple Definition: A thermocouple best suited for measurements in the −200 to 0 degree Celsius range. The positive conductor is made of copper, and the negative conductor is made of constantan. Thermocouples are usually selected to ensure that the measuring equipment does not limit the range of temperatures that can be measured. Note that thermocouples with low sensitivity (B, R and S) have a correspondingly lower resolution."


thoughts?

That's quite a chunk of change for a probe. Is it really worth it though over a k type?

ROFL. I was looking at the logger for $135. I was thinking you were smoking crack thru a chicken bone or something. lol

Just bought this. Hope one of the 7 probes is a J probe so I can try it. Thanks guys for reminding me my dual inputs are whacked lately.
