Description
The CANchecked TCC08 Thermocouple CAN Converter is a professional temperature monitoring module designed to measure and transmit data from up to eight Type-K thermocouples directly over a CAN bus network.
Manufactured in Germany, the TCC08 is designed for motorsport, performance, and advanced vehicle monitoring applications where accurate and reliable temperature data is required. Instead of converting thermocouple signals into traditional analog voltage outputs, the TCC08 transmits temperature measurements digitally over the CAN bus for straightforward integration with compatible ECUs, displays, data loggers, and other CAN-enabled devices.
The TCC08 supports a temperature measurement range of 0°C to 1250°C (32°F to 2282°F) and features cold-junction compensation and high-resolution 14-bit measurement for precise temperature monitoring.
An integrated Wi-Fi interface provides wireless access to configuration, firmware updates, live temperature monitoring, and diagnostic functions. CAN communication settings can be adjusted from a compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Fitment
Universal Application
The CANchecked TCC08 is designed for a wide range of vehicle and motorsport applications, including:
- Turbocharged and naturally aspirated performance vehicles

Thermocouple Temperature Monitoring
The TCC08 is designed to collect temperature data from up to eight Type-K thermocouples and transmit the measurements directly through the vehicle's CAN bus network.
The eight-channel configuration allows multiple temperature parameters to be monitored simultaneously. Depending on the vehicle and system configuration, the channels can be used for exhaust gas temperature (EGT), coolant, oil, intercooler, cylinder head, and other critical temperature measurements.
With a measurement range extending to 1250°C, the TCC08 is suitable for high-temperature applications commonly encountered in performance and motorsport environments.
CAN Bus Integration
The TCC08 communicates temperature measurements digitally through the CAN bus, eliminating the need to rely on conventional analog voltage outputs for thermocouple data.
The module supports CAN 2.0A/B and configurable CAN bus speeds from 125 kbps to 1 Mbps. This allows the TCC08 to integrate with compatible aftermarket ECUs, displays, data loggers, and other CAN-enabled equipment.
Supported platforms include systems from manufacturers such as Emtron, MaxxECU, MoTeC, Haltech, ECUMaster, and LinkECU, with compatibility dependent on the specific ECU and CAN configuration.
Wi-Fi Configuration
The integrated Wi-Fi interface provides convenient wireless access to the TCC08 configuration and monitoring functions.
Users can connect to the module from a compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer to configure CAN communication settings, adjust supported CAN modes, perform firmware updates, monitor live temperature data, and access diagnostic functions.
Installation
The CANchecked TCC08 is designed for integration into compatible CAN bus systems using its integrated 4-pin DTM CAN bus connection.
Connect the module to the vehicle's CAN bus network and connect the required Type-K thermocouples to the available measurement channels.
For best results, installation and CAN bus configuration should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with automotive CAN systems and thermocouple wiring.
