Detailed Specifications – Wireless Thermocouple (all types) Sensor – Eight Thermocouples

This highly versatile industrial sensor supports a huge variety of plug-in thermocouple temperature sensors.

Overall Temperature Accuracy

Please note that the overall temperature accuracy is a combination of the electronics and the thermocouple that is connected to the Leap Sensor. Since the thermocouple is typically selected by the end-user, an overall accuracy of the final system cannot be stated. Below is information on the accuracy of the Leap Electronics and additional general information on the accuracy of thermocouples.

Thermocouples are popular in many industrial applications due to their wide variety and wide temperature range. The are not highly accurate and are typically used for monitoring applications and not for precision temperature measurements. For higher accuracy temperature measurements, see the Leap RTD temperature sensors.

Thermocouple Electronics Specification

• Electronics reads from -210C to 1800C*.
• Resolution is 19-bit or 0.0078125C.
• Electronics accuracy is +/-0.15%*.
• Types supported: B, E, J, K, N, S, R, T – different types may be configured to one transceiver node.

*Overall accuracy is a combination of the electronics and the thermocouple that is used. See more information below.

Typical Thermocouple Sensor Specifications

• Connect 2 K-type thermocouples using standard Omega miniature flat pin connectors. (see photos)
  • Connectors come with protective rubber boot.
• Sensors come with basic insulated thermocouples similar to the Omega 5TC series.
• Select your own thermocouple from a huge variety of options. See thermocouple options from Omega.
• Thermocouples have different temperature ratings – but different versions can operate in the range of –454 to 2,300F (–270 to 1260C).
  • The Leap Sensor transmitter module (electronics, enclosure, and battery) can operate up to 85C, or 120C by special order.
  • Electronics set for thermocouple range of -210C to 1800C (-325F to 3250)F.
• Standard Type K Accuracy – see accuracy details on Omega Thermocouple web site.
  • Leap Sensor Thermocouples are compensated for non-linear thermocouple characteristics at cold temperatures – to ensure accurate readings at cold temperatures.
• Cold junction compensation is on the Leap Sensor circuit board.
• The enclosure IP67 rating may be reduced if the thermocouple “pigtail” has a braided jacket.
