Sensors & Probes

Sensors & Probes

If you're looking for custom temperature sensors suitable for use in engineering, research, industry, pharmaceutical, agriculture or food then you've come to the right place. As you will appreciate, being manufacturers of temperature sensors, the sensors shown on our website are a fraction of what is available to you. Speak to one of our specialists today for a sensor quote (We're just as happy manufacturing 1 sensor or 10,000).

We are often asked to build replacement custom temperature sensors and probes for equipment that is difficult to trace or that is compatible with an OEM product.

So whether you need: Thermocouple, Platinum Resistance (RTD) or thermistor temperature sensors; you can be confident of quality assured products.

Tempcon ProbesMany parameters will affect the choice of temperature sensor: such as temperature range/accuracy, cable, sheath diameter, length, and whether the sensor is required for in a hand-held or fixed installation.

Be reassured that you can discuss your requirements with, down to earth, industry experts who will manufacture your temperature sensors and probes at short order, whatever the quantity.


Probes and temperature sensors are available in all the normal K,J,T,N,S,R thermocouple materials, RTD, PRT, PT100, PT500 & PT1000 platinum resistance, or thermistor bead. Industrial probes are available with cable, threaded boss, or weatherproof heads. Hand-held probes come with a choice of handle and retractile or normal cable. A range of plugs, sockets, and 2-wire transmitters complement our range of temperature sensors.


All temperature sensors and probes conform to IEC codes and, of course, our Quality Management System is accredited to BS EN 9001:2008 by National Quality Audits.
Dataloggers

Dataloggers

Our range of Data Loggers are sourced from industry leaders in data logging technology.

It's not always easy deciding which data logger is most appropriate for your needs; in many cases you can use more than one type of data logger to achieve the same result. Some data loggers have been designed for specific measurements and are configured to accept specific external sensors or have internal sensors built into them.
Process Controllers

Process Controllers

Tempcon have supplied Process Controllers to industry for over 30 years, the vast majority of these controlling temperature processes.
A process controller is designed to improve user efficiency, reduce commissioning time, simplify operation and minimise maintenance downtime. From a simple 2 point process controller with on/off control, to continuous PID process controller, to advanced process controllers such as the ProVU with graphic/text LCD display, advanced functionality, and profiling with datalogging options.

Tempcon Instrumentation manufacture a very wide range of thermocouple, and platinum resistance (RTd) probes for use with Process Controllers and will custom build probes to meet the requirements of your application or specific process controller. Tempcon are official distributor/stockists for West Instruments, and Eurotherm Controls.

Process Controller applications include:

Motors,Pumps, Boiler Management, Chiller Control, Frost Alarm & Irrigation Management,Solar Hot Water Control,Renewable energy Research, Hydrology/Groundwater monitoring, Agricultural Research,Food Processing,Heating and Cooling Systems, Geothermal Heat Exchange Systems, Freezer Temperature Control, Refrigerator / Fridge Temperature Control
Panel Meters

Panel Meters

An extensive range of panel meters from Data Track Process Instruments, West Instruments, and Eurotherm Controls.
Comprehensive alarm functions allow for monitoring, switching and control applications. Some models offer a hysteresis facility to stop noisy signals switching alarms.

Alarms can usually be configured as latching or non-latching.

Most panel meters offer communication outputs. The Tracker 240 can measure and control the loss of product weight in a container/tank.

Alarm outputs indicate if the reservoir tank is too low or full. The Tracker 260 series of panel indicators was designed specifically for use with LVDT Transducers. "Fast Cal" feature provides a fast and simple method of calibrating a panel meter to the transducer at any 2 positions.

The Tracker 280 panel indicator is ideal for Pulse Totalisation, Pulse Rate, Frequency Measurement, Timing, Up/Down Counting, Batch Control, Position & Encoder Quadrature Measurement.

Digital Thermometers

Digital Thermometers

Digital Thermometers require little explanation. Tempcon have over 30 year's experience supplying Digital Thermometers to all industries and in particularly the food industry including thousands of food supermarkets across the Country.
We manufacture a wide range of temperature probes and provide service and calibration in-house for systems using digital thermometers, enabling us to easily accommodate the needs of small restaurants and supermarket giants.

Most digital thermometers are hand-held, accurate, and fast responding. Our Digital Thermometers are available for use with most types of thermocouple sensors, Rtd's and thermistor elements. Choose Digital Thermometers from as little as £16.50

Infrared Thermometers can be considered non contact digital thermometers as they offer easy temperature measurement and display results digitally.

Infrared Thermometers are best suited to scanning areas such as cold stores, engineering applications, pharmaceutical stores, and agricultural sites rather than attempting accurate core temperatures (Best done using needle probes and digital thermometers).
Signal Conditioning

Signal Conditioning

ActionI/Q DIN rail mount packages were developed to reduce the cost of signal conditioning. The primary design considerations were to house as many channels of isolated I/O as possible and to reduce wiring requirements. The result was a narrow, plug-in, DIN rail mount signal conditioner providing some of the most cost effective signal conditioner and isolation solutions in the world. Examples include the four channel RTD transmitter (model Q510) and the four channel (4-20mA) loop powered isolator (model Q500), from the Original ActionI/Q Series of multi-channel transmitters. The AC powered ActionI/Q Series of four-wire transmitters offers the most advanced microprocessor and ASIC based signal conditioner solutions available. Field configurable and wide ranging, these modules are an off the shelf solution for most isolation, signal conditioning and limit alarm applications. The industrial Wireless I/O devices from Action Instruments are designed to cost-effectively link I/O data (analog and digital) over a few meters or a few miles in peer-to-peer mode (wire replacement) or peer-to-multi-peer mode (Modbus network). The Wireless Gateways can link wirelessly any two (or more) serial devices using a secure proprietary RF protocol.
