SmartReader 6 Thermocouple Logger
The SmartReader 6 Thermocouple Logger can monitor and record temperatures from type J,
K, T, or S type thermocouples.
Figure 6-1: SmartReader 6
1.8.1 Description
The SmartReader 6 has six external thermocouple temperature channels and one internal
thermistor temperature channel for a cold-junction reference.
There are two basic models of SmartReader 6:
· SmartReader 6 N has all channels set for use over a narrow temperature range.
· SmartReader 6 W has all channels set for use over a wider temperature range but
resolution is coarse.
For information on temperature ranges and resolution for the different types of thermocouple,
refer to the Specifications section.
1.8.2 Setup and Use
The internal thermistor temperature channel for the SmartReader 6 is used to simulate a
reference junction for the thermocouples -- it must always be enabled.
1. Connect a J, K, T, or S type thermocouple to one or more channels. Make sure that you
observe polarity when making connections. To do this, connect the thermocouple's
negative wire (usually red) to the "-" terminal of the channel you want to use. Connect the
other (positive) wire to the "+" terminal. The following table lists the ANSI color code for
thermocouple wires:
