Default Longacre Pyrometer = type J/K thermocouple?

Any idea if a Longacre pyrometer probe is compatible w/ another brand hand held thermometer?

Instead of buying the whole pryrometer setup, can I just buy the separate/replacement probes for use in a Fluke 51 series J/K thermometer (for example)?

Connector appears to be the standard ANSI thermocouple plug.

I have an Longacre Accutech 50640 sensor. The thermocouple is marked "K". The industry standard for K connectors is yellow. J is black. That's why the T/C cable is yellow.

They will work in your Fluke... That is what we use.
