Description
Omega Engineering Model 199 Digital Thermometer 199-KC-X-X K-Type 117VAC
The Omega Engineering Model 199 is a compact benchtop and panel-mount digital thermometer designed for use with K-type (Chromel/Alumel) thermocouples. It accepts a standard miniature K-type thermocouple plug and displays temperature in degrees Celsius on a bright LED readout. The unit operates on 117VAC via a standard power cord and is a product of Omega Engineering, Inc., one of the primary manufacturers of temperature measurement instrumentation in North America. The model number suffix 199-KC-X-X indicates a K-type input with Celsius display.

Applications
The Omega Engineering Model 199 is a straightforward temperature measurement instrument used in laboratory, industrial, and light manufacturing settings where a reliable K-type thermocouple readout is needed. K-type thermocouples using Chromel and Alumel alloys cover a wide temperature range (roughly −200°C to +1260°C), making this type of thermometer useful in applications ranging from furnace and oven monitoring to process control, quality inspection, and general bench work. Omega Engineering thermometers of this era — dating from the late 1970s through the 1980s — were widely used in university labs, industrial process lines, and R&D environments. The panel-mount form factor also allowed installation into custom test fixtures or instrument enclosures. These units remain practical today wherever a simple, direct K-type thermocouple readout is needed and a standalone panel-style meter is preferred over a more complex data-logging instrument.
This Omega Engineering Model 199 Digital Thermometer (199-KC-X-X) has been inspected and is in good used condition. The front panel LED display and housing are intact with light wear consistent with normal lab use. The label on the top shows some scuffing and partial wear, but the model and part number remain legible. The yellow K-type thermocouple lead and its miniature connector are included and appear intact. The AC power cord and plug are present; the plug prongs show some oxidation typical of older equipment. The rear terminal block is present and all numbered/lettered positions are visible. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
