TDX 9110N

TDX6 Temperature Scanner/Pyrometer

Installation and Operation Instructions

The TDX6 is an advanced design 6-point temperature 

scanner and pyrometer. It continually scans six 
grounded

tt 

 or ungrounded thermocouples, displays 

the temperature of the thermocouple selected and has 
adjustable trip points for each input. A trip point read/
scan knob provides for display and check/adjustment of 
the thermocouple temperature trip point. If any trip point 
is reached, its output turns ON and can be used as a 
control signal or to initiate alarms and/or shutdown.

Using grounded thermocouples introduces the risk of odd currents or voltages being imposed on the thermocouple signal which can affect the accuracy of the reading. This is 

an inherent problem of grounded thermocouples, and the reason why we prefer unground ed thermocouples.
