I'm guessing there are many different types of thermocouples. Or at least there are a few types. A thermocouple is made from two different pure metals that touch together at one point where you measure temperature. It matters which two metals you get. I think you should find out which two metals are normally used on reprap printers and get the same type of thermocouple.
You connected the thermocouple to the two spots on the screw connector on the top of the UMO print head, right? Did you tighten the screws down well? It also matters I think what kinds of wires you use from the thermocouple to the connector - you have to use the same type of wire (e.g. copper for both wires).

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
