Summary: The TP400/700 Temperature Probe Simulator is
intended primarily for testing and troubleshooting temperature measuring
instruments that use the YSI* 400 and 700 Series Temperature Probes**. When
substituted for the probe, the Simulator provides precise and stable outputs for
setup and calibration of temperature measuring instruments. Since the Simulator
eliminates the probe as a variable, you can quickly determine whether
measurement problems are caused by the probe or the measuring instrument. Other
useful applications of these simulators include training personnel in the
correct setup and operation of temperature measuring instruments and in quickly
identifying a malfunctioning temperature probe.

Simulators contain thermally stable precision resistive networks. A rotary
switch permits selection of eleven temperatures from 0 degrees C to 45 degrees C
with an accuracy of +/-0.05 degrees C at each setting. Simulated Temperatures
are designated in both degrees Fahrenheit and Centigrade.
Cables are
available to connect the Simulator to most temperature measuring instruments.
Typical instruments are electronic thermometers, patient monitors, and
temperature controlled analytical laboratory instruments.
