The Fluke 80TK Thermocouple Module transforms any compatible digital multimeter into a precision thermometer for Type-K thermocouple measurements. It converts thermocouple millivolt output to direct temperature readings at a 1 mV per degree Celsius or Fahrenheit ratio, enabling temperature monitoring across -50 to 1000 °C (-58 to 1832 °F) with selectable scale output. The module accepts standard mini-thermocouple connectors and bare wire leads, operating from a single 9V battery with approximately 1600+ hours of operational life.
## Technical Specifications
• **Measurement Range:** -50 to 1000 °C (-58 to 1832 °F), probe dependent
