Thermocouple Input

Extension wire for thermocouples must be of the same alloy as the thermo-
couple itself to limit errors.

Sensor Installation Guidelines

We suggest you mount the sensor at a location in your process or system
where it reads an average temperature. Put the sensor as near as possible to
the material or space you want to control. Air flow past this sensor should be
moderate. The sensor should be thermally insulated from the sensor mounting.

See Chapter 4 for more information on DIP switch location and orientation.

NOTE:
When an external
device with a non-
isolated circuit
common is con-
nected to the 4-
20mA or dc output,
you must use an
isolated or un-
grounded thermo-
couple.
