Input Offset

NOTE

The next menu appears only for Thermocouple or
RTD loops.

Use this menu to make up for the input signal’s inaccuracy. For
example, at temperatures below 400

º

F , a type J thermocouple may be

inaccurate ("offset") by several degrees. To correct for offset errors,
change the factory default setting to a positive or negative value for the
loop you are editing. A positive value increases the reading and a
negative value decreases it.

Selectable range: -300 to +300.
