MADE IN THE USA
The Sensor Connection TCA-IND-U-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.
Setup of the TCA-IND-U-8-A4 is simple using the included Windows programming software. The software also allows for data logging to an attached PC. The Amplifier interfaces to the PC via USB.
Also includes an onboard single-axis +/- 4g capacitive accelerometer for measuring acceleration and brake events.
