VBOX Thermocouple Interface (TC8-V2)

VBOX Thermocouple Interface (TC8-V2)

TC8-V2

●Up to 8 K-type thermocouple channels
●100 samples per second (100 Hz logging)
●Direct K-type thermocouple connection
●Individual channel status LEDs
●Individual cold junction compensation sensor for each channel
●Supports standard and extended CAN frames
●Timer controlled transmission or polled response

Overview
The VBOX Thermocouple Interface (TC8-V2) measures 8 thermocouple inputs at 100 samples per second and provides a CAN output, either as a standalone unit or as a Racelogic based CAN module.
It is primarily designed to connect to a VBOX GPS data logger and log thermocouple data along with the normal VBOX channels. It works from any power supply from 6 V up to 30 V.
The usable measuring range is -200 °C to +1300 °C, and the unit uses a 24-bit ADC.
It can be used in standalone timed mode or together with other Racelogic modules such as the Analogue Input Module (ADC03) or the Vehicle CAN Interface (CAN02).
