Martindale DT173 Single Input K Type Digital Thermometer
The Martindale DT173 Single Input K Type Digital Thermometer provides single-channel temperature measurement across a range of -200°C to 1372°C. It accepts standard miniature K-type thermocouple connectors, allowing use with a wide range of compatible probes. Readings can be shown in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
Large display characters and a backlight help users view measurements in varied working environments. A tough protective holster supports the instrument during use, while the built-in fold-away stand provides a practical viewing angle. The supplied K-type bead thermocouple allows the meter to be used immediately for suitable temperature checks.
The Martindale DT173 Single Input K Type Digital Thermometer also includes MIN, MAX and AVG recording for reviewing temperature extremes and average readings over time. Relative and hold functions provide further control when comparing or retaining displayed values. An adjustable offset helps optimise thermocouple performance over the required temperature range.
