T-Type Pod
The T-type Pod is suitable for biological temperature measurements with 0.2 °C accuracy (dependent on temperature range). The unit is a compact signal conditioner for use with thermocouples to measure physiological temperatures. The T-type Pod accepts direct connection of T-type thermocouples fitted with miniature flat pin connectors. The output of the Pod is 10 mV/°C in the range 0 to 50 °C.
Transducer Capability:
Any T-type thermocouple fitted with a miniature thermocouple connector is suitable for use with the T-type Pod.
For use with:
• MLT1403 Rectal Probe for Rats
• MLT1404 Rectal Probe for Mice
• MLT1407 Large Animal Rectal Probe
• MLT1400 General Purpose Thermocouple Probe
• MLT1401 T-type Implantable Thermocouple Probe
• MLT1405 T-type Implantable Thermocouple Probe
• MLT1402 T-type Ultra Fast Thermocouple Probe
• MLT1406 Needle Microbe Thermocouple
System Compatibility:
The T-type Pod connects to any PowerLab hardware units with Pod ports (8-pin DIN inputs). PowerLab and MacLab (except 4s, 8s and 16s) units without Pod ports can require the FE305 Pod Expander.
The T-type Pod is supported by the following versions of LabChart and Scope software:
WINDOWS LabChart v3.4.8 or later, MACINTOSH LabChart v3.6.3 or later
Theory of Operation:
The thermocouple voltage signal is amplified to produce 10 mV/°C at 25°C. Ice Point Reference compensation is provided by the direct measurement of the input connector temperature. The equivalent voltage is subtracted from the thermocouple voltage to compensate for the changes in the ambient temperature. Temperature changes are typically slow and filtering is provided by a 2 pole 10 Hz Butterworth filter. This will provide adequate filtering from mains power supply and allow fast temperature transients to be monitored.
Note: The output of the Pod is not linearized.
Stacking and Unstacking Pods:
Pods stack by clicking into place on top of each other. To separate stacked Pods, push the top Pod towards the back and then pull them apart from the back.
