Supported Applications

The Omega UTC-USB Series functions as a Universal Thermocouple Connector and Converter, designed to interface thermocouples with a PC via USB. The series is part of the broader USB family that includes probes for temperature (TJ-USB), relative humidity/temperature (RH-USB), pressure transducers (PX409-USB), and infrared sensors (IR-USB). All devices in this family feature direct USB connectivity and include software to enable PC-based data logging.

Explicit usage restrictions state that the device is not designed for medical or nuclear applications. Operation in flammable or explosive environments is prohibited.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The UTC-USB Series utilizes a USB electrical connection to transmit signals from thermocouples to a computer system. While specific performance metrics such as accuracy, resolution, and response time are not detailed for the UTC-USB model in the available documentation, the series is noted to comply with worldwide safety and EMI/EMC regulations.

The manufacturer indicates that certification to European New Approach Directives is being pursued. No user-serviceable parts exist within the device; attempting repair or service may void the warranty.

Configuration Options

The UTC-USB Series offers a universal interface for thermocouple signals, distinct from other models in the USB family that measure specific parameters like pressure or humidity. The series supports direct connection to a PC without external power supplies listed as separate requirements.

Signal Type: Universal Thermocouple input converted via USB output.
Data Acquisition: Includes free software for data logging on a PC.
Safety Compliance: Complies with worldwide safety and EMI/EMC regulations; pursuing European New Approach Directives certification.

Key Product Differences

The UTC-USB Series is differentiated from other models in the Omega USB family by its function as a connector/converter rather than an integrated sensor probe. Other models in the same manual include:

TJ-USB: Type-K Thermocouple probe with overall lengths of 914.4 mm (36.0 in) and stem options.
RH-USB: Relative Humidity/Temperature sensor housed in stainless steel, measuring 131 mm (5.18 in) overall length.
PX409-USB: Pressure transducer with wetted parts made of 316L stainless steel.
IR-USB: Infrared temperature sensor available with accessories such as a Laser Sighting Accessory (OS100-LS), Mounting Bracket (OS100-MB), Water Cooling Jacket (OS100-WC), and Air Purge Collar (OS100-AP).
