‡ The non-contact temperature sensor must be configurable for type K thermocouple output within either of the four specified ranges. For example, an OMRON
ES1A or Calex EL Series (Convir) infrared sensor.
§ Shaded setting number indicates default setting for thermocouple or platinum RTD type 900-TC8xGT or 900-TC16xGT controllers.
