Flexem FR-T0400K 4-Channel Thermocouple & NTC Temperature Acquisition Module

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the FR-T0400K are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

Heat Treatment and Furnace Monitoring: In heat treatment processes, precise temperature control is critical for metallurgical properties. The high accuracy helps maintain consistent product quality and reduces energy waste.

Plastic and Rubber Processing: Extrusion and injection molding require stable temperature profiles. Using NTC sensors or thermocouples, the module can monitor barrel and die temperatures, helping to prevent defects like burn marks or inconsistent flow. Its compact size (1111876 mm) allows for easy integration into existing control panels.

HVAC and Environmental Chambers: For facilities that test products under specific temperature conditions, the FR-T0400K provides reliable data for PT1000, Ni1000, and Cu50 sensors. This enables precise control of environmental chambers, ensuring test repeatability and compliance with industry standards.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation is key to achieving the stated accuracy. Ensure that the module is mounted in a clean, dry enclosure, away from direct heat sources. When connecting thermocouples, use the correct extension wire and maintain polarity. For NTC sensors, verify the resistance-temperature curve matches the module's configuration. The module draws a maximum of 50mA at 5.0Vdc, so confirm your power supply can handle this load. After wiring, perform a two-point calibration check using a known reference to validate readings.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regular inspection of the module and its connections is recommended. Check for loose terminals, corrosion, or damage to sensor wires. Periodically verify the accuracy of the module against a calibrated reference to ensure it remains within the ±0.5% tolerance. Keep the module free from dust and moisture, as these can affect performance. The lightweight design (65g) and robust construction contribute to long-term reliability in fixed installations.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

If you encounter erratic readings, first check the sensor wiring and connections. A loose connection can cause intermittent signals. Verify that the sensor type selected in your configuration matches the actual sensor connected. If readings are consistently off, check the ambient temperature at the module; accuracy is specified at 25℃. For NTC sensors, ensure the resistance at the measured temperature is within the module's input range. If problems persist, contact AutoDCSTech for further assistance.
