Thermocouple Terminations
Thermocouple wires are connected to the screw terminals
located at the bottom of the termination panel as shown in
Figure 10. When terminating thermocouple wiring, follow the
recommendations listed below.
1. Greater accuracy is maintained with a heavier gauge
thermocouple extension wire.
2. All thermocouples within a group of eight must be the
same thermocouple type.
3. Terminate unused thermocouple inputs with the same
signal as preceding inputs, or short the two input
terminals together.
4. Install the termination cover after completing the wiring
connections.
