REMARK
Note (1) : The BX-G uses same material core(Cu) on the two parts of + and -. Therefore, error tolerance is not
defined.
Note (2) : The thermocouple type R and S’s thermelectromotive force characteristics is non-linear, so it is not real
measurement error of temperatures.
Note (3) : This should be applied to the wires of 1.25 mm
2
or more section area.
