  • 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

Temperature Measurement With an Immediate Printed Record

The Anritsu Meter AP-400 Series is useful when a temperature reading must be documented at the point of measurement. Instead of writing values down by hand or transferring data to a computer, the operator can print the measured temperature and time directly from the handheld instrument.

The built-in thermal printer supports individual readings, automatic printing at selected intervals and numbered measurement records. Up to 100 readings can also be stored in memory and printed together later. This makes the AP-400 and AP-450 suitable for inspections, maintenance rounds, production checks and verification work where a paper record is useful.

Choose the connector and thermocouple type carefully

The AP-400 uses an ASP probe connector, while the AP-450 uses an ANP connector. Each instrument is manufactured for one thermocouple type, which cannot be changed from the keypad. Confirm the probe connector and thermocouple type before ordering.

Printing and Memory Functions

FunctionHow it worksWhere it helps
Manual print Press the print key to record the measured value with the measurement time Individual inspection points and spot checks
Interval print Automatically prints readings at the selected time interval Short-duration process tests and temperature trends
Number print Prints sequential numbering together with the measured values Documenting a series of products, locations or test points
Memory print Stores up to 100 readings and prints them as a batch Recording measurements where immediate printing is inconvenient

Thermocouple Measurement Ranges

Thermocouple type1 °C resolution rangeAvailability
Type E −200 to +800 °C AP-400 or AP-450
Type K −200 to +1370 °C AP-400 or AP-450
Type J −200 to +1100 °C AP-450
Type T −200 to +400 °C AP-450
Type R 0 to +1760 °C AP-450

For E, K, J and T versions, the instrument provides 0.1 °C resolution within the specified intermediate range and automatically changes to 1 °C resolution outside that range. Type R operates at 1 °C resolution.

Measurement Accuracy

Thermocouple and resolutionTemperature regionInstrument accuracy
E, K, J or T at 0.1 °C resolution 0 °C and above ±(0.05% of reading + 0.2 °C)
E, K, J or T at 0.1 °C resolution Below 0 °C ±0.5 °C
E, K, J or T at 1 °C resolution 0 °C and above ±(0.1% of reading + 1 °C)
E, K, J or T at 1 °C resolution Below 0 °C ±(0.5% of reading + 1 °C)
Type R at 1 °C resolution Full specified range ±(0.1% of reading + 3 °C)

Reference-junction compensation accuracy is ±0.2 °C at 25 °C ±10 °C. Probe accuracy, installation technique, surface contact and the response of the selected sensor must also be considered when estimating total measurement uncertainty.
