Warning
Permanent damage may be done to the thermometer if the power supply connections are not done correctly.
In particular, do not connect the power input (18-24VDC) to any of the analog output connectors. Note that
the 20 mA analog output options are self-powered interfaces (by opposition to loop-powered interfaces), and
thus do not require any external supply.
Fiber optic probes are fragile, and will break if the bending radius becomes less than ~1cm, even temporarily.
Probe breakages are not covered under the standard Omega warranty.
