• after 4000 hours of use with R and S thermocouples
• after 8000 hours with other thermocouples

For Models 1821 and 1822, connecting the instrument to a computer via a micro USB cable causes an internal temperature rise in the instrument that may result in a temperature measurement error of approximately 2.7°F (1.5°C). This temperature rise does not occur when the instrument is connected to a wall outlet or when it is powered by batteries.

Response Time
Response time is the time required for e.m.f. to reach 63% of its total variation when the thermocouple is subjected to a temperature step. The sensor’s response time depends on the heat capacity of the medium and the thermal conductivity of the sensor. The response time of a thermocouple with good thermal conductivity, immersed in a medium of high heat capacity, will be short. Conversely, in air or another thermally unfavorable medium, the true response time can be 100 times or more longer than the thermocouple response time.
