Contact Thermometer for Electricians
The CEM DT-8891 is a contact thermometer built for electrical professionals who need fast temperature readings. It accepts K-type thermocouples and an IR probe to deliver 0.1 ºC resolution across three input channels. A large backlit display shows any combination of T1, T2, T3 and differential values plus MAX, MIN and AVG statistics. Data logging stores 18000 records per channel on supported variants.
Suited for Multi-Point Monitoring
This instrument suits technicians tracking temperature differentials across three points simultaneously with time-stamped MAX, MIN and AVG events. The electronic offset function compensates thermocouple errors for tighter overall accuracy. Buyers who need a single-channel meter or a tool that ships with batteries included should look elsewhere. The package excludes batteries due to air-shipping restrictions and does not contain an English manual by default.
Straightforward Setup with Caveats
Connect the K-type probes, select the desired scale in ºC, ºF or Kelvin, and the backlit display begins updating instantly. USB models add a UART bridge for PC logging without extra drivers. The main friction points are sourcing batteries locally before first use and obtaining the English manual from customer service after purchase. Auto power-off helps preserve cell life during idle periods.

Questions about this item
What type of thermocouple probes must I already own to use the DT-8891?
The DT-8891 works with K-type thermocouples and one IR temperature probe as its temperature sensors, so you need compatible K-type probes and an IR probe to take measurements.
Can the DT-8891 record data from older K-type probes I already have?
Yes, the DT-8891 accepts standard K-type thermocouples and can log up to 18000 records per channel on models 8891C and 8891E, so your existing probes will work for both live reading and data logging.
How do I confirm the DT-8891 is logging correctly after setup?
Check the large backlit display for the active logging indicator and verify that the record count increases; models 8891C and 8891E store up to 18000 records per channel and the USB interface lets you download the logged data to a PC for review.
