Refer to Figure 5-2 and wire the controller according to the procedure given in Table 5-3.
Table 5-3 Set Up Wiring Procedure for Thermocouple Inputs
Using an Ice Bath
Step Action
1
Connect the copper leads to the calibrator.
2
If using a physical Ice Bath:
Connect a length of thermocouple extension wire to the end of each copper lead
and insert the junction points into the ice bath.
If using a commercial Ice Bath:
Connect a length of thermocouple extension wire to the output side of the Ice
Bath. Connect the calibrator with copper wires to the input side of the Ice Bath.
3
Connect the thermocouple extension wires to the terminals for the input to be
calibrated. See Figure 5-2.
