Description

This sensor module is engineered for ultra-high-temperature measurement applications where standard PT100 or thermistor sensors are insufficient. It operates on the thermoelectric (Seebeck) principle, where the K-type thermocouple probe generates a microvolt signal proportional to the temperature gradient. The onboard MAX31855K chip amplifies, digitizes, and provides cold-junction compensation for this signal, outputting a stable digital reading via I2C.

The module is designed for robust operation with a wide 3.3V to 5.5V supply range, making it compatible with most development boards and industrial controllers. The included stainless steel-sheathed probe is waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and capable of withstanding direct exposure to high-temperature environments up to 800°C, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.

Key Features

  • High-precision 14-bit digital temperature conversion with 0.25°C resolution.
  • Extremely wide operational range from cryogenic -270°C to extreme heat 1372°C.
  • Integrated MAX31855K provides built-in cold-junction compensation and signal conditioning.
  • Standard Gravity I2C interface (0-3.3V logic) simplifies wiring and code integration.
  • Broad power compatibility from 3.3V to 5.5V for use with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and PLCs.
  • Durable, armored stainless steel probe sheath offers waterproofing and corrosion resistance.
  • Long 1.5-meter cable provides flexible installation in ovens, kilns, and industrial furnaces.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for professional-grade high-temperature monitoring.

Applications

  • Industrial kiln and ceramic furnace temperature monitoring and control.
  • High-power electric oven and industrial heating element performance validation.
  • Gas stove and high-temperature flame analysis in combustion research.
  • Process temperature monitoring in chemical reactors and thermal treatment systems.
  • Laboratory-grade high-temperature experiments and material testing setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum temperature the included probe can measure?

The included stainless steel-sheathed K-type thermocouple probe is rated for continuous measurement up to 800°C. The MAX31855K module itself can process signals for a theoretical range of -270°C to 1372°C, but the practical limit is defined by the probe's rating and installation environment.

Is this sensor compatible with 5V Arduino boards like the Uno?

Yes, the module has a wide input voltage range of 3.3V to 5.5V, making it directly compatible with 5V systems like Arduino Uno. The I2C logic levels are 0-3.3V, but the module includes level shifting, allowing safe communication with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.

Can I use a different K-type thermocouple probe with this module?

Yes, the module is designed to work with any standard K-type thermocouple probe. The MAX31855K chip handles the signal conditioning and cold-junction compensation. Ensure your replacement probe has the correct connector or can be wired to the module's terminal.

What is the accuracy of this sensor at typical high-temperature ranges?

For the included probe measuring up to 800°C, the accuracy is within ±2.5°C. The module's internal accuracy is ≤ ±2°C from -200°C to 700°C and ≤ ±4°C from 700°C to 1350°C. Accuracy can be influenced by probe placement and environmental factors.

How do I read the temperature data from the I2C interface?

Temperature data is output as a digital value via the standard Gravity I2C interface. You can use DFRobot's provided Arduino library or communicate directly with the MAX31855K's register map using any microcontroller with I2C support, such as ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or STM32.
