temperature compensating element, in principle.
• When changing from the thermocouple input to the
DC voltage input, remove the reference junction
temperature compensating element.
• A semiconductor element is employed as the reference
junction temperature compensating element, and it is
not necessary to replace this element according to thetype of thermocouple.
2 For the RTD input, the scale can optionally be changed,
irrespective of the type of input and scale range.
3 The scale cannot be changed from the DC voltage
input or thermocouple input to the RTD input, or from the
RTD input to the DC voltage input or RTD input.
