Thermocouple (TCA-BTA)
Troubleshooting
- Primary Test: Connect the Thermocouple to an interface and check the accuracy of the readings for temperature in room air. They should be within 5 deg C.
- Secondary Test: Place your fingers over the wires and ensure that the temperature responds.
Additional Troubleshooting
- Can I purchase a replacement thermocouple wire for my TCA-BTA or GDX-TC sensor?
- How do you use the TCA-BTA to measure very low or very high temperatures more accurately?
- Can I use our thermocouple in a bunsen burner flame?
- Why doesn't my TCA-BTA work with Logger Pro or Logger Lite?

Calibration
Calibrate? No. This sensor is set to the stored calibration before shipping. If you wish to calibrate the sensor, you must conduct a three-point calibration. For information on the calibration coefficients used for this sensor, see Why doesn't my TCA-BTA work with Logger Pro or Logger Lite?
