Create a paper record while checking temperature with the Anritsu AP-400 and AP-450. The integrated thermal printer allows operators to attach readings to inspection sheets, production records or test reports without using a separate printer.

Choose the instrument and probe together. Connector type, thermocouple type and the probe's operating limits determine which combination suits your measurement.

Printing options for different tasks

  • Manual printing: Press PRINT to capture a reading with time information.
  • Interval printing: Select one of eight intervals for repeated measurements.
  • Numbered printing: Produce sequentially numbered readings for inspection points or samples.
  • Memory printing: Store up to 100 readings and print them together later.

Temperature ranges and resolution

ThermocoupleInstrument range at 1°C resolutionRange at 0.1°C resolution
E -200 to 800°C -104.9 to 504.9°C
K -200 to 1370°C -104.9 to 504.9°C
J -200 to 1100°C -104.9 to 504.9°C
T -200 to 400°C -104.9 to 400.0°C
R 0 to 1760°C Not available

The display changes automatically to 1°C resolution outside the 0.1°C range. Always remain within the connected probe's temperature rating.

Instrument measurement accuracy

InputResolutionTemperatureAccuracy
E, K, J, T 0.1°C 0°C and above ±(0.05% of reading + 0.2°C)
E, K, J, T 0.1°C Below 0°C ±0.5°C
E, K, J, T 1°C 0°C and above ±(0.1% of reading + 1°C)
E, K, J, T 1°C Below 0°C ±(0.5% of reading magnitude + 1°C)
R 1°C 0 to 1760°C ±(0.1% of reading + 3°C)

Probe error and reference junction compensation must also be considered when evaluating total measurement accuracy.
