Hardware Filters

Each channel is provided with a hardware filter, which may be used to reduce

thermocouple and aid in detecting open sensor conditions. This feature is in

addition to the software filter algorithm.

Option shunts E9 through E24 are used to enable the hardware filters. A pair of

shunts is assigned to each channel. To enable a channel’s filter, you must install

both shunts. To disable a channel’s filter, you must remove both shunts. You should

enable the filter only for channels that are connected to thermocouples. The

following table shows shunt assignments for all channels:
