IMPORTANT: Using 2-wire configurations does not permit the module to compensate
for resistance error due to lead wire length. The resulting analog
data includes the effect of this uncompensated lead wire resistance.
The module continues to place the uncompensated analog data in
the input data file, but the open-circuit status bit (OCx) is set in word 4
of the input data file for any enabled channel using a 2-wire
configuration. These status bits may be used in the control program
to indicate that the analog data includes error due to uncompensated
lead wires.

IMPORTANT: When using grounded and/or exposed thermocouples that are touching electrically conductive material, the
ground potential between any two channels cannot exceed ±10V dc, or temperature readings will be inaccurate.
COLD JUNCTION COMPENSATION
To obtain accurate readings from each of the channels, the temperature between the thermocouple wire and the input
channel must be compensated for. A cold junction compensating thermistor has been integrated in the terminal block.
The thermistor must remain installed to retain accuracy.
Do not remove or loosen the cold junction compensating thermistor assembly. This assembly is critical
to ensure accurate thermocouple input readings at each channel. The module will operate in the
thermocouple mode, but at reduced accuracy if the CJC sensor is removed.
TIP:
When using an ungrounded thermocouple, the shield must be connected at the module end.
