Item# (PN): UWTC-2 Shipping and Payment
Wireless temperature monitoring system UWTC Series features stand-alone, compact, battery powered thermocouple connectors that transmit their readings back to a host receiver up to 120 m away.
Each unit can be programmed in the field to work as a type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N or C calibration connector. When activated the connector will transmit readings continuously at a pre set time interval that was programmed by the user during the initial setup. Each unit measures and transmits: Thermocouple Input Reading, Connector Ambient Temperature, RF Signal Strength and Battery Condition to the host and is displayed on the PC screen in real time using the provided software.
When used with host receiver models UWTC-REC1 or UWTC-REC2 data from up to 48 wireless thermocouple connectors can be received and displayed. Each USB powered unit includes free software that converts your PC into a strip chart recorder or data logger so readings can be saved and later printed or exported to a spread sheet file. The UWTC-REC2 and UWTC-REC4 also allows wireless data from one or four transmitters to be re-transmitted out of the receiver by a wired connection as an analogue voltage or current to interface with a controller, PLC or data acquisition board.

What is a Type K Thermocouple?
What Are Common Applications for Thermocouples?
Thermocouples are the most widely used temperature sensors on the planet due to their combination of wide temperature capabilities, ruggedness, and low cost. Thermocouples are used in applications that range from home appliances to industrial processes, to electric power generation, to furnace monitoring and control, to food and beverage processing, to automotive sensors, to aircraft engines, to rockets, satellites and spacecraft.
When it comes to high temperatures, small size, fast response, high vibration or shock, most times you will find thermocouples providing the temperature measurements.

Common Techniques to Calibrate Thermocouples
Temperature measurement is possible through several means. We commonly use thermometers for measuring temperature. However, for precision measurements, where even a small spike in temperature requires to be recorded, we use advanced forms of measurement devices like thermocouples. Thermocouples are measurement devices that can read very slight temperature changes. Hence, they are widely used in applications where accuracy is of utmost importance.
However, like any measurement device, the efficiency of thermocouples will deteriorate overtime under constant use. At this point, the thermocouple needs recalibration...
