MADE IN THE USA
The Sensor Connection TCA-MS-K-8-A4 EGT Probe Thermocouple Amplifier Module functions to convert the low output voltage signal from up to 8 Type K thermocouple EGT probes into 8 independent linearized 0 to 5 VDC output voltages. This output is ideal for interfacing to dataloggers, aftermarket ECU's, temperature indicators, chart recorders, controllers, or other motorsports instrumentation equipment.
Also includes an onboard single-axis +/- 4g capacitive accelerometer for measuring acceleration and brake events.
