Replacing an Existing AM-8000
Start with the model number on your instrument's label. Channel count alone is insufficient to select a replacement: the sensor input, recording interval and connection to your PC also matter.
When requesting a quotation, please provide:
- Existing model: Include the complete model number and thermocouple suffix, or a clear photograph of the label.
- Number of measurement points: Specify how many channels you need to record.
- Temperature range and probes: Identify the sensor types, operating temperatures and any probes you intend to retain.
- Recording requirements: State how frequently readings are needed and how long each recording session lasts.
- PC requirements: Include your operating system and any existing software or communication requirements.
- Order details: Provide the quantity and delivery destination.
These details help establish the required configuration before a quotation is prepared.
