Description
The 8 Channel Temperature Scanner is a compact industrial monitoring instrument designed to measure, display, and monitor temperatures from multiple sensing points simultaneously. Supporting thermocouple or Pt100 RTD inputs, the scanner provides reliable multi-point temperature monitoring for industrial processes where accurate temperature measurement is essential. With ±0.25% full-scale accuracy, a robust 96 × 96 mm DIN panel-mount design, and simple front-panel configuration, it offers an efficient solution for process monitoring without the complexity of larger data acquisition systems.
The ASC-8 Temperature Scanner features eight independent temperature input channels, making it an economical choice for applications that require fewer monitoring points than a 16-channel system while maintaining high measurement accuracy.
Key Features
-
8 Dedicated Temperature Monitoring Channels Monitors up to 8 thermocouple or Pt100 RTD sensor points within a single panel cutout footprint.
