The Q.bloxx XL A104 TCK provides 8 channels for thermocouples (here as Type K, NiCr/Ni) with standard miniature front sockets.
During a day in the climate chamber at -40°C it was completely frozen. After connecting with power supply to the I/O module it was delivering stable and precise measurement values. When temperature was increasing it passed dew point. We observed no impact on the measurement quality or from condensation during this phase. Our I/O module passed this test successfully – even when the datasheet recommends only -20°C operating conditions.

Monitoring volcano activity is an important issue in the mitigation of natural hazards. Recently, most fatal issues occurred on volcanoes with low-energy and moderate activity, making them attractive touristic places (e.g., the 2014 Mount Ontake eruption in Japan). For these types of volcanoes, monitoring involves multiphysics measurements on dense networks. Distributed networks of sensors must be easily adapted to the volcano’s evolving state and the appearance of new active areas like fumaroles or high heat flux in the soil.
