Corresponding Type E examples are also listed by Anritsu. Published tolerance for these configurations is ±2.5°C at 100°C. Response times refer to manufacturer test conditions, not guaranteed settling times in every food sample.
The probe's sensing range does not establish the permitted exposure temperature of its handle, cable or connector. Confirm the complete configuration and operating conditions when ordering.
Probe Designs and Ordering Information

Selecting a Food Temperature Probe
Sample: Describe the food or material, its thickness and whether it is soft, firm, liquid or frozen.
Measurement depth: Choose a length that can reach the required internal measurement point.
Temperature: Provide the lowest and highest expected temperatures so the appropriate configuration can be checked.
Response: Consider how quickly readings are needed and how the probe will be inserted into the sample.
Cleaning: Explain the cleaning method and chemicals used so suitability can be confirmed.
Instrument: Provide the thermometer or logger model to match the thermocouple type and connector.
IPX5 should not be interpreted as approval for prolonged immersion, dishwashing or steam sterilisation. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions for the selected configuration.
Confirm probe and instrument compatibility before ordering.

The Anritsu AP-400 Series combines a high-accuracy thermocouple thermometer with a built-in thermal printer. Measurements can be printed immediately, printed automatically at selected intervals or stored and printed later.
Single-channel handheld thermometer with built-in printer
Manual, interval and sequential-number printing
Stores up to 100 measurements for batch printing
AP-400 supports Type E or K with an ASP connector
AP-450 supports Type E, K, J, T or R with an ANP connector
Thermocouple type is selected when ordering and is not switchable
Powered by four AA batteries or an optional AC adaptor
The Anritsu AM-9000 Series records temperature from six or twelve thermocouple channels in one portable instrument. Choose a fixed thermocouple-type model or a flexible multi-input model for temperature and DC-voltage measurement.
