Lower Display Thermocouple Measurement Tests
1. Remove the test leads from the UUT terminals; then connect a type J thermocouple
lead between the TC jack on the UUT and the TC jack on the 5520A as shown in
Figure 10.
2. Press T on the UUT until J appears on the lower display. If necessary, press D
so the temperature is displayed in °C.
3. Set the 5520A to output the type J thermocouple voltages shown in Table 12 and
verify the UUT temperature readings are within the limits shown (values use the ITS-
90 curves).
4. Press STBY on the 5520A.
