Thermocouple Measurement/Simulation, Connections and Troubleshooting
MC4 User Guide 115
Manually Entered:
Usable when:
• The Reference Junction temperature is fixed to a
temperature that differs from 0°C.
• The Reference Junction temperature is controlled and the
controller's set point is not 0°C. Note: this method is of use
only if the accuracy of the controller is better than MC4's own
Reference Junction.
• A compensation box is used and the Reference Junction
temperature setting is other than 0°C.
• There is no Reference Junction compensation in the
measuring/simulation circuit, but you want to manually enter
another Reference Junction temperature than 0°C.
Connection when measuring/simulating thermovoltages using a
temperature controller and either of the following Reference
Junction compensation methods:
