Octal Thermocouple Conditioner with Enhanced Accuracy
The 28208A 8-Channel Thermocouple Conditioner provides eight channels of conditioning for all commonly used thermocouple types. The 28208A consists of a low-drift programmable differential pre-amplifier, a 4-pole programmable filter and a programmable post-filter amplifier. The card can be used for static (DC) or dynamic (AC) temperature measurements, and can also function as a low-level DC or AC filter/amplifier (< 1 mV to 10 V inputs).
The 1U rack-mountable Isothermal block with integral digital temperature sensor includes mini-terminal connections for easy wiring of the thermocouples and better than 0.15 degree accuracy in reference junction compensation.
The 28208A 8-Channel Thermocouple Conditioner is a member of the Precision 28000 family of signal conditioners.

Verification at Test Time
Continual setup, tear down and reconfiguring of sensitive test equipment demands a rigorous protocol to prove that every channel is operating correctly at test time. The 28000 System provides a layer of built-in verification and validation capability to confirm proper operation of the measurement system including sensor and cable. Upon completion of the verification testing, a status report is provided as a defendable means to document system validity at the time of the actual test.
Yearly Calibration
All test systems require periodic calibration. The Precision 28000’s automated built-in test capabilities allow the user to perform convenient, affordable NIST traceable yearly calibration tests on-site without removing the system from the equipment rack. This eliminates the need for expensive off-site calibrations and system downtime.
