The TP-2 of the early 1980s became a long time favorite of many petroleum inspectors.
It was the first portable electronic thermometer, PET, to challenge the long reign of the
cup case thermometer. Although the TP-2 was severely dated by 1990, many inspectors
wanted nothing else despite newer models by ThermoProbe and various competitors.
Because the US market demanded the return of the venerable black box, ThermoProbe
has put its newest circuit and software design into the old familiar form.
The TP-2C employs the proven RTD design that has been used in the TP-7 and TP-8 for
many years. Where old mechanical switches were vulnerable to damage and liquid
penetration, a sealed industrial quality overlay now provides a user interface that is easy
to use with gloves. A sealed, heavy gauge powder coated aluminum enclosure replaces
the vulnerable plastic case and protects the circuit board and large LCD from penetration
by impact, water and reactive liquids.
The new TP-2C circuit board is an evolutionary step up from our highly accurate, reliable
and successful TL-1 laboratory thermometer. The Power Button's primary function powers
the instrument for intervals of about 20 minutes since the last button was accessed. The
Power Button can also be used to conserve power and clear the memory, or to make
adjustment while in calibration mode. A simple menu operation is displayed by holding
the Function Button, and alternately functions to allow adjustments in the calibration
mode. Arrows on the left side of the display show the direction of the temperature
reading and whether stability has been reached. At the user's discretion stabilized temperatures
can be logged at numerous liquid levels for a running average and later displayed
for the user's documenting purposes. But this feature never interferes with simply getting
an accurate temperature reading.
To endure the environment and be intrinsically safe, the TP-2C is manufactured of
materials, which are both immune to petrochemicals and are non-sparking.
The enclosure is made of aluminum with a thickness of 0.080 inches. The probe
assembly is constructed with a static-dissipating, non-stick cable, with stainless steel sensor
components.
Operational Attributes:
|
Easily replaceable AAA Batteries, provides an estimated *100 hours
operation.
Circuit logic automatically indicates low battery condition, automatically
shuts off after twenty minutes, shows temperature trend and
stabilization, displays error codes for failure determination.
The low power backlight for night operation is photo sensor
controlled for convenience and battery conservation.
In nighttime conditions the backlight illuminates the display.
Celsius or Fahrenheit units with C/F indication can be easily chosen
from the Function Button.
User Manual explains intuitive calibration procedure that can be
done through the external faceplate buttons.
