Introduction 
The Model 80T-150UA Universal Temperature Probe is a self-contained 
temperature-to-voltage converter. The probe is designed to provide a 
direct temperature reading when it is connected to any high impedance 
DMM that is capable of 1 mV resolution and at least a 300-count full 
scale readout capability. Output is 1 mV per degree (Celsius or 
Fahrenheit). Two switch-selected temperature output scalings are 
provided: -50 to +150 
°
C or -58 to +302 
°
F. The probe will stand off 60 V 
dc or 30 V ac rms (42.4 V peak). 
The unit is housed in two separate but attached assemblies: a 
temperature probe and a temperature-to-voltage converter. The probe 
contains the temperature-sensing element and is electrically connected to 
the temperature-to-voltage converter through a 46-inch cable. A three-
position switch on the converter acts as a power switch and is used for 
selecting Celsius or Fahrenheit scaling for the output. Two banana plugs 
with standard 0.75-inch spacing are provided for connecting the 80T-
150UA to the DMM. 
Operating power for the 80T-150UA is derived from a standard 9 V 
battery. Typically, an alkaline battery provides more than 600 hours of 
continuous operation before replacement is necessary. An OFF switch is 
provided on the temperature-to-voltage converter to allow battery 
conservation when the unit is not in use. In addition, the OFF position of 
the power switch allows the battery condition to be determined via the 
external DMM. 
Temperature is measured by exposing the probe tip directly to the 
material to be measured (non-corrosive liquid, gas, or solid). A direct 
temperature reading is displayed on the DMM.
