4 Channel
K-Type Thermocouple Amplifier
AEM’s 4-Channel K-Type Thermocouple Amplifier provides
laboratory-grade accuracy for virtually any on-board temperature
measurements. This unit utilizes low-cost K-Type thermocouple
amplifiers to measure multiple engine system temperatures with
better accuracy and faster response times than currently available
temperature-measuring alternatives!
The 4-Channel K-Type Thermocouple Amplifier is ideal for users
who want to accurately monitor multiple engine system temperatures,
including water, air, coolant, fuel, disc brake and more! Multiple
channels allow you to use each amp to simultaneously read different
system temperatures (one channel for EGT, one channel for CLT,
etc.). Users can utilize ANY K-Type thermocouple including commonly-available
miniature thermocouple connectors, and datalog the readings via
an RS-232 serial data stream (programmable EMS not required for
datalogging). This unit does not include K-Type sensors; however
K-Type sensors will be available from AEM in the near future.
Unlike common single-channel gauges and amplifiers whose readings
can vary up to 20° C from actual temperatures, AEM guarantees
its 4-Channel K-Type Thermocouple Amplifier to read better than
1% full scale, even at the extremes of the temperature range!
The unit achieves its laboratory-grade accuracy via a 100% surface-mounted
PCB (printed circuit board) that has four differential temperature
inputs fed into an A/D converter and fitted using a stage-three,
eighth-order polynomial curve fit. The amplifier then compensates
for this value using AEM’s on-board cold junction temperature
measurement, and then sends the temperature outputs on feedback-monitored
0-5v analog outputs and an RS-232 serial data stream.
