System Operation

Series 1700 Thermocouple dataloggers record low-level millivolt thermocouple signals. The system automatically processes these signals and references them to the logger's on-board cold junction temperature sensor to produce accurate temperature readings.Two types of Series 1700 dataloggers are available: The narrow range "N" series provides high precision and exceptional low-temperature performance; the wide range "W" series provides a broader temperature measurement range ideal for high temperature applications. The following two charts detail the input specifications , measurement ranges, and rated accuracies of these two series of units.

Connection Diagram

Connecting thermocouple probes using an 1700-51N/51W logger:

Thermocouple Connection Diagram

To connect a typical two-wire probe, attach the red lead to one of the logger's two common (COM) input terminals. Attach the other probe lead to a channel input (CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4)

Memory

Data Sample Capacity 70,000 12-bit samples
Memory Modes User-selectable: Wrap when memory full, or Stop when memory full.
Memory Protection Data retention > 20 years backup without power.
Sampling Rates User-selectable (in intervals of 10 seconds) from once every 10 seconds to once a day.
Recording Span Recording span depends on sample interval selected and number of channels enabled. Below chart details typical sampling rates and length of time logger will retain data in memory before wrapping around or stopping (see Memory Modes).
