80PK-3A  
Type K Thermocouple Surface Probe  
Instruction Sheet  
WARNING  
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS PROBE  
WHEN VOLTAGES EXCEEDING 24V AC RMS OR 60 V DC ARE  
PRESENT.THE PROBE TIP IS ELECTRONICALLY CONNECTED  
TO THE OUTPUT TERMINALS.  
CAUTION  
The thermocouple strip in the tip of the probe is designed to  
deflect only .030” in normal operation. Any action which bends  
or pulls the strip out further from the tip will CONSIDERABLY  
reduce the life of the probe  
INTRODUCTION  
The 80PK-3A Type K Thermocouple Surface Probe is designed for  
measuring the temperature of flat or slightly convex surfaces, with  
an exposed junction to allow direct contact with the surface being  
measured. The 40-inch (1-meter) cable is terminated with a Type K  
miniature thermocouple connector with 0.792-mm (0.312 in) pin  
spacing. The probe can be used with any temperature-measuring  
instrument that is designed to accept type K thermocouples and has  
a miniature connector input.  
SPECIFICATIONS  
Type: K (Chromel vs Alumel)  
Measurement Range: 0°C to 260°C (32°F to 500°F)  
Junction Accuracy: (With respect to ANSI MC96.1): ±2.2°C  
(3.96°F) over the range of 0°C to 260°C (32°F to 500°F)  
Restrictions: The 260°C continuous temperature rating is primarily  
determined by the Teflon support piece. The Teflon insulation  
should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 260°C (500°F)  
nor to open flame, since this can cause release of toxic material.  
Output: 25°C (77°F) =1.00 mV (reference junction at 0°C)  
Seebeck Coefficient: 25°C (77°F) = 40.50 µV / °C  
Measurement Time: (Time Constant): 3 sec typical on metal  
surface; 15 sec max. for a 260°C change. See Applications  
Information below.  
Maximum Voltage: 24V ac rms or 60V dc  
Probe Tip:  
Maximum Temperature: 260°C (500°F)  
Material: White PTFE

MEASURING TECHNIQUE  
Here are some suggestions for improving the accuracy of your  
temperature measurements:  
When measuring higher than ambient temperatures, adjust  
the connection between the probe and the surface until you  
get the highest temperature reading.  
When measuring lower than ambient temperatures, adjust the  
connection between the probe and the surface until you get  
the lowest temperature reading.  
When measuring near ambient temperatures, make the  
reading when the thermometer readout is most stable.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
With no heat or cold applied to the probe, the measuring instrument  
should display the ambient temperature. If the measuring  
instrument does not read out properly, try the following:  
1.  
Verify that the temperature-measuring instrument is designed  
to be used with Type K thermocouples. It should have a yellow input  
connector and / or be marked “K”.  
2.  
Check for an open circuit indicator on the measuring  
instrument. Some temperature measuring instruments have a built-  
in circuit to indicate if the connected probe is open. (All Fluke  
instruments have this feature.) Refer to the measuring instrument’s  
owners manual to see if this feature is available.  
If you suspect a broken connection, use an ordinary ohmmeter to  
check its continuity from pin to pin. The ohmmeter should read 10  
ohms or less if there is continuity.  
3.  
Short the two input pins of the measuring instrument with a  
piece of wire. If the instrument is functioning, it should indicate the  
ambient temperature.  
SCALE CONVERSIONS  
Use the following equation to convert °C to °F:  
(°C x 1.8) ± 32 = °F  
Use the following equation to convert °F to °C:  
(°F –32) x 0.5556 = °C
