3.4 Sensor Input Connections
Table 3-1. AMERICAN (USA) THERMOCOUPLE WIRE COLORS
The meter is configured at the factory for the desired
thermocouple type (J, K, T, E) and the desired units of measure
(¡C or ¡F), as defined by the customer at the time of purchase.
The meter configuration is defined in the part number. For
example, a Type T meter that reads in degrees Fahrenheit
would have a "-TF2" in the part number. The Ò1Ó at the end of
the part number indicates a 1 degree resolution and Ò2Ó at the
end of the part number indicates a 0.1 degree resolution. See
Table 1-1
for model number listing.
Once the meter is configured for a particular
thermocouple type, it CANNOT be changed to accept any
other input type. It becomes dedicated to that
thermocouple type as ordered.
