*1 The sum of accuracy of each sensor and the cold junction temperature error is the overall accuracy. Note that thermocouple
device includes small level of error.
*2 Error is the value of 10 minutes after power up. Error may increase slightly due to quick change of ambient temperature.
*3 The maximum length of thermocouple wire is 100m (328ft.), however, it depends on environmental conditions.
