Thermocouple values below the under-range minimum value are reported as -32768.
Thermocouple values above the over-range maximum value are reported as 32767.
Internal cold junction error is ±1.5°C for all ranges. This adds to the error in this table. The module requires at least 30
minutes of warm-up time to meet this specification.
In the presence of radiated radio frequency of 970 MHz to 990 MHz, the accuracy of the EM AT04 AI 4 x 16 bit TC may

To maintain module resolution and accuracy when 400 Hz rejection is selected, the integration time is 10 ms. This
selection also rejects 100 Hz and 200 Hz noise.
