2. Select either Input or Output mode depending
on whether you want to read a thermocouple
or simulate a thermocouple signal.
3. Connect the appropriate thermocouple to the
mini-connector or screw terminals on the top of
the TC100. Note: for best accuracy, allow 3 to
5 minutes for the T/C connector (or wire) to
stabilize to the same temperature as the
connector block.
4. If you are using the TC100 in the output mode
use the cursor control keys to select the
decade to be controlled. Note that the cursor
is the line under a specific digit.
5. Operating Connections and
Precautions
1. When operating in the thermocouple output
mode, the TC100 has the ability to simulate
up to 10 T/C types plus mV into devices
which measure thermocouples:
NOTE: If the TC100 is improperly connected to
a low impedance load (either a short or near
short) the display will flash.

Use thermocouple wire for
the type selected (e.g. if a
"J" T/C is being simulated,
you must use "J" wire.)
