3-Channel Industrial Wireless Thermocouple Sensor

Three Zones.
One Wireless Sensor.
Buy Once, Monitor All Three.

Monitor three separate temperature points from one battery-powered node — three oven zones, both sides of a heat exchanger, or top-to-bottom of a tank. Three K-Type probes are included for readings up to 500°F, with high-temperature probes up to 2000°F and other thermocouple types and ranges available. Every channel streams over a 2-mile wireless mesh, with no gateway per point and no monthly fee.

Three Thermocouples to One Dashboard

No software to install. No cloud accounts to create. Connect up to three thermocouples, power on, monitor.

01

Connect Three Thermocouples

Plug the three included K-Type probes into the on-board connectors. Built-in hot and cold junctions deliver accurate readings, and each connector also accepts a high-temperature probe rated up to 2000°F — or other thermocouple types and ranges — when a process runs hotter.

02

Mount & Power

Mount the enclosure on or near your equipment, optional magnetic hardware makes it tool-free. Run on the D-cell with Supercap or add the external-power option for permanent installations.

03

Wireless Mesh

900MHz self-forming wireless mesh network. Up to 2-mile line-of-sight range with the on-board antenna.

04

Monitor & Act

Browser dashboards, per-channel threshold alerts, and CSV export through the Atrium gateway. Compare all three zones on one timeline and catch excursions before they become failures.

Connect, power, and monitor, no software licenses and no cloud account required. Your data stays on your network.
Built for Atrium
Complete IoT Platform

A Full IoT Solution, No Development Team Required

The Atrium Gateway isn’t just a data receiver. It’s a complete industrial IoT platform with dashboards, alerts, reporting, and built-in apps. Point your thermocouple sensors at it, open your browser, and go, your data stays on your network.

Build Dashboards in Your Browser

Drag-and-drop widgets let you build custom monitoring views for any audience, operators on the floor, maintenance managers, or front-office leadership. Every dashboard auto-refreshes and supports fullscreen mode for wall-mounted displays.

  • Gauge widgets for each thermocouple channel, side by side
  • Line graphs with multi-channel overlays and configurable time ranges
  • Machine status cards showing current operating state
  • Fullscreen mode for TV displays on the plant floor
  • Custom date/time range selection with quick presets (1H, 6H, 24H, 7D, 30D)
  • Add, edit, and rearrange widgets without writing code

Set Thresholds. Get Notified. Automate Responses.

In Atrium, Triggers are threshold conditions on a single thermocouple channel, they fire when a reading crosses the line. Actions link one or more triggers to responses like email or relay control, and run when every trigger is met. You build both in the browser, no code required.

  • Triggers fire when a value crosses the threshold, with a separate Reset At point to stop flapping
  • Per-channel conditions on temperature, sensor status, and low battery voltage
  • Actions run when all their triggers are met, email on trigger, on clear, or both
  • Live status: OK / TRIGGERED for triggers, OK / ACTIVE for actions
  • Relay actions can cut a burner or trip an alarm automatically
  • Reuse triggers and actions across your whole fleet

Sensor Capabilities

Built for the Plant Floor

Three-channel temperature monitoring that runs locally. No cloud dependency. No software license.

Three K-Type Channels

Three on-board K-Type connectors read three independent temperature points from a single node, each with built-in hot and cold junctions for accurate readings.

Three Probes in the Box

Ships with three K-Type thermocouple probes on a 1 m, 24 AWG cable, rated for readings up to 500°F. Each connector also accepts a high-temperature probe rated up to 2000°F, or other thermocouple types and ranges, when a process runs hotter.

Multiple Thermocouple Types

Beyond the standard K-Type, each connector accepts other thermocouple types on request, so you can match the probe to the process. Types J, T, E, and N cover general-purpose, cryogenic, and high-sensitivity work; noble-metal types S, R, and B handle precision measurement up to 1600–1700°C. Swap probes without changing the sensor.

Long Battery Life

A D-cell with Supercap delivers up to 5 years of battery life. An external-power option is also available for permanent installations.

Rugged IP65 Enclosure

An IP65-rated enclosure with wall-mount and magnet-mount options stands up to harsh industrial environments, while the on-board antenna keeps installs simple. The IP65 rating covers the main enclosure only, not the thermocouple probe.

OTA Firmware Updates

Update firmware wirelessly across your fleet over the wireless mesh network. No climbing ladders, no removing sensors from service.

The Cost of Catching Heat Too Late

By the Time You Smell It, the Line’s Already Down.

Heat builds silentlyA bearing, motor, or boiler creeps up degree by degree long before anything smokes or trips, the first sign a person notices is usually the last before failure.
A batch out of specA process that runs slightly too hot, or where zones drift apart, can scorch, warp, or ruin an entire run before the shift ends, product you can’t sell or get back.
Unplanned downtimeEquipment that overheats doesn’t fail on schedule, the emergency repair, lost output, and overtime cost far more than the alert that would have prevented them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about 3-channel wireless thermocouple temperature monitoring.

Channels & Sensing

It is a battery-powered industrial sensor from NCD that reads three K-Type thermocouples at once and transmits all three channels wirelessly up to 2 miles line-of-sight. It ships with three K-Type probes rated for measurement up to 260°C (500°F); each channel also accepts a high-temperature probe rated up to 1090°C (2000°F), with other thermocouple types and ranges available on request. It runs on a D-cell with Supercap good for up to 5 years and carries no monthly fees or subscriptions.

Three. The sensor has three independent K-Type thermocouple channels, so a single node can read three separate temperature points, three oven zones, both sides of a heat exchanger plus ambient, or top/middle/bottom of a tank, instead of installing three separate sensors.

The sensor includes three K-Type thermocouple probes with a 1 m, 24 AWG cable, rated for measurement up to 260°C (500°F). Built-in hot and cold junctions keep readings accurate. Each connector also accepts a high-temperature K-Type probe rated up to 1090°C (2000°F), or other thermocouple types and ranges, if a process runs hotter.

Yes. The sensor has three K-Type connectors, so you can connect your own thermocouples on any channel, including a high-temperature probe rated up to 2000°F or other thermocouple types and ranges for hotter processes. The three included K-Type probes get you reading right out of the box.

Wireless & Power

The sensor reaches up to 2 miles line-of-sight with its on-board antenna, over 900MHz long-range wireless mesh networking. Because it forms a self-healing mesh, a single Atrium gateway can collect readings from many sensors across large or multi-building facilities.

The sensor runs on a D-cell with Supercap, and delivers up to 5 years of battery life. An external-power option is also available for permanent installations.

Integration & Ownership

No. The 3-Channel Wireless Thermocouple Sensor has no monthly fees and no proprietary lock-in. You own your data and can keep it on your own network or forward it to AWS, Azure, or any MQTT broker through the Atrium gateway, there are no recurring software costs.

Yes. Readings from all three channels flow through the Atrium gateway, which supports AWS, Azure, MQTT, Modbus, Node-RED, and a REST API. Its open communication protocol makes software integration straightforward, so you can route data into existing CMMS or analytics platforms without vendor lock-in.

Build & Ownership

The enclosure is wall-mountable, and optional magnetic mounting hardware lets you attach it to metal equipment without tools. The three thermocouple probes are what reach into the temperature points you want to monitor, while the node stays in an accessible spot for wireless transmission.

The 3-Channel Industrial IoT Wireless Thermocouple Temperature Sensor is made in the USA and is RoHS compliant. It is built and supported by NCD, a manufacturer trusted by more than 7,000 customers worldwide for industrial wireless sensing.
