Dickson Temperature and Humidity Chart Recorders
Dickson KT8 and TH8 chart recorders provide an on-site paper record that operators can inspect, annotate and file. Choose the instrument according to what you need to measure, where the sensor will be installed and how the record will be used.
3-Inch Temperature Chart Recorders
The compact SC3 family records temperature where installation space is limited. Select the model and matching chart for the required temperature range.

4-Inch Temperature Chart Recorders
The SL4 family provides temperature recording with a digital display. These models measure temperature only.

Match the chart reference, units and recording duration to the selected instrument. Chart scales do not replace the instrument's operating specifications.

Before selecting a replacement: provide the complete model number, probe details, temperature and humidity ranges, chart reference, recording duration and any alarm or relay requirements. Changing from a 6-inch to an 8-inch recorder also requires a review of mounting space and consumables.
Replacing an existing recorder? Chart size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm the measurement range, probe arrangement, recording duration, power supply and chart reference before selecting the replacement.
The SC3 and SL4 are compact temperature-recording options, not direct replacements for TH6 or TH8 humidity recorders. Moving from a 6-inch recorder to an 8-inch model also requires a review of mounting space and consumables.
Replacement Options for Older Models
The following table is a starting point for replacement selection. These are functional alternatives to evaluate, not a guarantee of identical dimensions, wiring, accessories or performance.
| Existing model | Current model to consider | What to confirm |
|---|
| TH8P0, TH8P2 or TH8P3 |
TH8-10 |
Temperature and humidity range, sensor location and alarm requirements |
|---|
| TH8P5 or an older TH8 installation requiring remote sensing |
TH8-11 |
Required extension cable length and conditions at the sensor location |
|---|
| KT8P0, KT8P2 or KT8P3 |
KT8-30 for a K-type thermocouple application |
Existing probe type, connector, temperature range and chart scale |
|---|
| KT856 |
KT8-31R for a dual-temperature thermocouple application |
Both temperature channels, probe compatibility and any relay requirements |
|---|
| Older KT6 or TH6 models shown in previous catalogues |
Evaluate the appropriate KT8 or TH8 configuration |
This changes from a 6-inch to an 8-inch chart format; check installation space and consumables |
|---|
Before ordering: send us a photograph of the existing instrument label, its probe and the chart paper reference. If your procedure requires 31-day recording, highlight this specifically: the current 8-inch range lists 24-hour and 7-day chart rotation.
Other Current Temperature Configurations
A replacement does not always need to use the same sensing technology. Depending on the application, the current range also includes:
- KT8-20: single-channel thermistor temperature measurement
- KT8-21: dual-channel thermistor temperature measurement
- KT8-40: platinum RTD temperature measurement
- KT8-50: ambient temperature measurement
Select the sensor and recorder together. A suitable measurement range alone does not establish compatibility with an existing probe or installation.
Charts, Pens and Calibration
- Chart paper: match the recorder, measurement scale, units and recording duration.
- Pens: confirm the correct pen set and channel arrangement.
- Calibration: specify the required measurement points and documentation.
- Installation: check mounting space, power supply and sensor placement.
Charts are sold separately. Confirm the instrument configuration and required consumables together when requesting a quotation.
