I have this multimeter here, in which a thermometer probe connects to the COM and red line. I've had other thermometers over time, but this is pretty damn accurate, I think down to the degree. Unfortunately, I broke the included thermometer probe, and Extech, the manufacture, does not have a replacement.
I believe the item was a thermocouple, but the inputs were separated, like a voltage tester's two inputs are separated, and not together as one connected line, like a thermocouple probe's input. Does this mean buying a thermocouple probe will not work, and if so, am I SOL for a replacement thermometer probe?
Here is a picture for clarification:
Will a thermocouple probe connect to this multimeter? Does something like the thermometer probe I broke exist so I can just replace that?
EDIT: From the manual: "1. Insert the type K thermocouple probe into the Temp and COM jacks." So... does that mean this is indeed a thermocouple probe?
