Product Information

Full details

The Bosch Temperature Probe (Type K) Immersion (1600A038DA) is an essential tool for HVAC technicians, industrial engineers, and laboratory professionals who require accurate, direct temperature readings in liquid environments. It offers a wide measurement range and rapid response times, making it ideal for checking thermal fluid systems or cooling baths. However, users should note that as a Type K sensor, it requires a compatible digital thermometer or multimeter with an appropriate K-type input port to function correctly.

FAQs

Can I use this probe with any multimeter?

You can use it with any multimeter or thermometer that specifically supports Type K thermocouple inputs.

Is the probe cable waterproof?

The stainless steel tip is designed for immersion, but avoid submerging the handle or the connector end in liquids.

How long can I stretch the cable?

The cable is designed to be extendable up to 2000 mm (2 meters).

Can this be used for food safety?

While the stainless steel is high-quality, this probe is designed for industrial and technical applications; check local regulations before using for food service.

What is the accuracy of the probe?

Accuracy depends on the specific meter the probe is connected to, as the meter interprets the millivolt signal generated by the thermocouple.

Troubleshooting

The temperature reading is flickering or erratic.

Check that the Type K connector is fully seated in the input port. Clean the connector pins with a dry cloth if oxidation is present.

The device shows an error code or 'OL'.

The temperature may be outside the measurable range of your meter, or the probe wires may have internal damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel probe tip
  • Highly flexible cable reach up to 2 meters
  • Extremely broad temperature sensing range
  • Designed for quick thermal reaction speeds

Cons

  • Requires a compatible Type K thermal meter
  • Cable may retract forcefully if stretched to maximum length
  • Not suitable for non-liquid environments without specific mounting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the probe, simply insert the Type K connector into the input port of your handheld digital thermometer or data logger. Ensure the device is set to 'K' mode if it supports multiple probe types.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel tip with a damp, lint-free cloth after each use. Ensure the probe is completely dry before storage.
  • Handling: Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector base to prevent internal wire breakage.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment away from corrosive chemicals that could damage the sensor casing.
