**DATA SHEET - ‘ KS21 S SURFACE/IMMERSION PROBE TYPE K’** Description This probe is designed for monitoring both immersion and surface temperatures. It features a ‘crossed’ ribbon sensing tip for superior strength and speed when compared to a single band version. Construction ‘Crossed’ ribbon band sensor with thermocouple attached and draught shield: Stainless Steel 316 (Food Grade). Sealed with Silicon Rubber compound to ensure the probe is fully waterproof. 1M straight polyurethane cable with moulded connector. **NOTE** :  This probe only requires light pressure to give a true reading and is suitable for smooth, clean surfaces. If used on an uneven surface, there is a risk that the band will be weakened and deformed. **Sensor Features**  **TOTAL ENCAPSULATION TECHNIQUE FOR MAXIMUM STRENGTH AND DURABILITY.** This results in a solid handle as opposed to a hollow handle.  This is particularly important as there is often damage to the handles caused by excess heat.  With a hollow handle it is possible to puncture the outer plastic and damage the sensor irreparably.  **WATERPROOF HANDLE** Due to the total encapsulation method used, all TME probe handles are completely waterproof.  **TOUGH POLYURETHANE CABLE**  Polyurethane cables are used in place of the standard PVC for the following reasons:  Non–Toxic  Greater mechanical strength for durability  12 X 0.2mm wires used internally for greater strength.  PTFE inner insulation for strength  **HIGH ACCURACY THERMOCOUPLE MATERIAL THROUGHOUT** Type ‘K’ Thermocouple : Class I     (±1.5°C ±0.25%)  **POLYPROPYLENE  HANDLES** Polypropylene is an extremely tough and durable material, commonly used for milk crates, it has good low temperature performance and a relatively high melt temperature.  It performs exceptionally well under chemical attack.  **WIDE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATION : -30 TO 50 °C**  **TIME RESPONSE** _**(96% of value on clean metal)**_ **: 3 Secs**  **MEASUREMENT RANGE : -50 TO 250 °C Cross-reference for compatible instruments** Suitable instruments for use with this probe **TME PART No DESCRIPTION APPLICATION** MM2000 SINGLE INPUT INSTRUMENT HIGH ACCURACY TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT MM2008 LEGIONELLA THERMOMETER HIGH ACCURACY THERMOMETER w/ INTEGRAL WATER TEMP TIMER MM2010 MAX / MIN HOLD INSTRUMENT HIGH ACCURACY INSTRUMENT WITH MAX, MIN AND HOLD FEATURES MM2020 DIFFERENTIAL INSTRUMENT DUAL INPUT INSTRUMENT FOR DIFFERENTIAL MEASUREMENTS MM2030 THERMOCOUPLE SIMULATOR HIGH ACCURACY SIMULATOR WITH MEASUREMENT FACILITY MM7000-2D BARCODE SCANNING INSTRUMENT HIGH ACCURACY INSTRUMENT WITH BARCODE SCANNING FACILITY ~~_~~ 57-0284-04 V4
