OverviewDigital input connector ALMEMO® for one or two CTN thermistor probes. The ALMEMO® connector concept: multiple probes and sensors, but a single measurement device. The connector plugs into any AHLBORN measurement input and provides Plug and Play operation thanks to probe identification and data stored in the connector.
Features and benefits- Allows connection of temperature probes/sensors of thermistor CTN (NTC) type.
- Plug and Play: probe data (EE-PROM) stored in the connector, no configuration required when connected.
- Individual probe identification (EE-PROM) for calibration, scaling and custom naming of each probe.
- Error correction performed directly in the connector, converting standard probes into precise measuring elements.
- Possible conversion of standardized signals into engineering units of the measured quantity.
- Support for multi-parameter probes (e.g. temperature and humidity) via a single connector in some configurations.
- Programming protection via a multi-level locking system.
