Thermocouples and RTDs
Thermocouple and RTD setup is similar to the
setup except that the Input and Output scaling
cannot be altered. Note that the displayed scales can be set independently for each widget
– See
Select the Thermocouple or RTD type from the drop
down Type menu. The default Engineering Units is
Degrees F. To select Degrees C check the degC
check box.
Thermocouple inputs require ambient temperature
compensation. There is a built in temperature
compensator on the rear of the unit or if the
thermocouple is to be a long distance from the input,
external compensation can be used. This external
compensation can be any input channel. To use the
internal compensator select Int. from the Tcomp
dropdown box. To use external compensation select
Ext.C or Ext.F for Centigrade or Fahrenheit and then
select the Reference Channel to use. This channel
needs to be set up correctly for the external
compensation
– thermocouple, cureent loop transmitter etc that will read in the temperature units chosen.
To disable compensation slelect Tcomp as none - the unit will then display uncompensated
Thermocouple values.
Apply Span and Offset as needed and select Filter type as detailed in Section
. above.
Note
: For thermocouples, the internal ambient temperature compensation can be adjusted in 0.5°
increments in the
