The Anritsu AM-8000 Series is discontinued and has been replaced by the AM-9000 Series.
For a replacement, select the appropriate channel count, thermocouple input configuration and recording interval.
The Anritsu AM-8000 Series is discontinued and has been replaced by the AM-9000 Series. Select the replacement according to the number of measurement channels, thermocouple type, recording interval and any DC-voltage input requirements.
View the Anritsu AM-9000 Series replacement.
The AM-8000 Series provided portable, multi-point temperature recording in 6-channel and 12-channel versions. This page retains original product pictures and model references to help existing users identify their instrument and plan a replacement.
The table below is a selection guide, not an automatic model-for-model substitution. Confirm the complete old model number and the signals connected to each channel before ordering.
| Measurement requirement | AM-9000 Series option | Selection note |
|---|---|---|
| 6 channels with one selected thermocouple type | AM-9000E / AM-9000K | Fixed thermocouple type; J, T and R versions are optional. |
| 12 channels with one selected thermocouple type | AM-9100E / AM-9100K | Fixed thermocouple type; J, T and R versions are optional. |
| 6 channels requiring selectable thermocouple inputs | AM-9200 | Multi-input model for E, K, J, T and R thermocouples and DC voltage. |
| 12 channels requiring selectable thermocouple inputs | AM-9300 | Multi-input model for E, K, J, T and R thermocouples and DC voltage. |
Use this side-by-side guide to shortlist the replacement family. It matches channel count and input requirements; it is not a manufacturer-certified drop-in interchangeability list. Confirm recording interval, input configuration, connector wiring and computer integration before ordering.

| AM-8110* | 12 | AM-9100* | Fixed type; USB replaces RS-232C connection |
| AM-8111* | 12 | AM-9100* | Fixed type; check interval and RS-232C integration |
| AM-8150* | 6 | AM-9200 | Multi-input; USB replaces RS-232C connection |
| AM-8151* | 6 | AM-9200 | Multi-input; check interval and RS-232C integration |
| AM-8160* | 12 | AM-9300 | Multi-input; USB replaces RS-232C connection |

* = thermocouple type E, K, J, T or R. For fixed-type replacements, retain the required thermocouple suffix: for example, AM-8000K → AM-9000K and AM-8010E → AM-9100E. J, T and R versions are optional. AM-9200 and AM-9300 are multi-input models and do not use that suffix.
AM-9200 and AM-9300 are suggested here for the older temperature/DC-voltage variants. The current specification also lists DC-voltage measurement for fixed-type models, so they may be suitable after confirming the required input and connector configuration. Multi-input versions have different accuracy and reference-junction specifications; the choice is not solely a model-number change.
