4.4  Sourcing Thermocouple (TC) Signals
4.4.1  When RJ Sensor Is Used  
(Making Use of Reference Junction Compensation)
To calibrate a device with built-in reference junction temperature 
compensation by sourcing a thermoelectromotive force with 
the calibrator without using any external 0°C reference junction 
compensation means, use the optional RJ sensor (P/N: B9108WA).
   CAUTION
When sourcing thermocouple signals, the CA71 outputs a small DC voltage. 
If the device under calibration has a switching power supply, its switching  
noise may affect the CA71 output. Taking measures such as connecting the  
device to ground can reduce its noise, resulting in less effect on the CA71.
(This caution also applies to the CA51.)
Step 1:  Insert the RJ sensor into the R.J.INPUT connector of the  
calibrator.  Insert the sensor until the locking claw in the  
bottom of the sensor connector locks with a click.  
To unplug the sensor connector, unlock the connector by  
gently pushing the locking claw.
Step 2:  Using the function selector switch, select 
 .
Step 3:  Using the 
 key, select the type of thermocouple.  
Select the type from K, J, E, T, R, B, S, N, L and U.  
The selected type of thermocouple is shown on the LCD.
Step 4:  When the RJ sensor is connected, the calibrator goes into  
the RJ ON status and the RJON symbol appears on the LCD.
