The figure below shows the connection options for thermocouples provided the temperature
of the reference junction (outside the module) is kept at a fixed reference temperature
(20 °C).
Thermocouple with compensating line and supply line
Compensating line (same material as thermocouple)
Copper supply cable, for example
