EnviroMon Converters and Sensors
EnviroMon takes readings from a number of sensors. These sensors are connected to converters that transform the analogue signals from the sensor into digital signals: these digital signals can then be transmitted reliably and accurately to the logger over long or short distances.
Which converter is best for your application depends on what you wish to measure.
This page describes the 4 channels thermocouple converter.
EL041 Thermocouple Converter
The 4 channel EL041 thermocouple converter is designed to measure a wide range of temperatures with any thermocouple that uses a miniature size thermocouple connector.
Featuring built-in cold junction compensation (CJC), the EL041 has an effective temperature range of -270 to 1820°C (The actual temperature range depends on the thermocouple being used.)
In addition to temperature measurement, the cold junction compensation can be switched off to enable the EL041 to measure ±60mV signals.
