REED INSTRUMENTS R2980 Type K air probe for ovens and freezers

REED INSTRUMENTS R2980 Type K air probe

The REED INSTRUMENTS R2980 is a Type K thermocouple probe built for monitoring ambient air temperature in ovens, refrigeration units and freezers. It suits food-service operators and HVAC technicians who need reliable readings without surface contact. A stainless-steel shield surrounds the sensor to prevent false measurements caused by touching metal surfaces. This probe is not for users who need to measure surface or liquid temperatures directly.

Type K interface and temperature limits

The probe uses a standard Type K thermocouple interface compatible with any meter or controller that accepts Type K inputs. Measurement range and accuracy depend entirely on the connected instrument, not on the probe itself. The stainless shield protects the junction in air-flow applications but does not extend the probe's inherent temperature limits. Buyers who need a wider range or higher accuracy than Type K allows should look at other sensor types.

Check your meter and mounting before ordering

Verify that your thermometer, data logger or control system has a Type K input before purchase. Confirm the probe connector style matches your instrument's socket. Ensure the probe length and shield diameter suit the oven rack or freezer shelf where you plan to hang it. The probe ships new directly from the manufacturer; orders of 75 or more qualify for free shipping from the supplier.
