TC Resistance / Max
Source Resistance
200Ω max for rated accuracy
Input Impedance > 1 MΩ
Input Filter Single low pass @ nominal 20 Hz, plus notch filter at 50/ 60 Hz
Normal Noise Rejection 120 dB min @ 50 or 60 Hz
Cold Junction
Compensation (CJC)
Internal CJC operates 0 ... 60° C (errors are included in the
accuracy specification). The connector door must be closed.
Remote CJC can be implemented by connecting a TC (which
monitors the external junction block temperature) to channel 1.
Types J, K, and T are recommended for remote CJC.
