SETUP AND PROCEDURES BEFORE OPERATION Cold Junction Temperature Compensation with/without Setting The Q68TD-G-H02(H01) can execute the following two different cold junction temperature compensations by setting the inteligent function module switch setting (switch 4) to whether to carry out the cold junction temperature compensation using the cold junction temperature compensation resistor (RTD) or not.
Page 108
SETUP AND PROCEDURES BEFORE OPERATION POINT The ice bath is designed to connect the thermocouple/compensation conductor and conductor in the pot whose internal temperature is controlled to be 0 . Hence, the thermoelectromotive force at the contact portion of the thermocouple/ compensation conductor and conductor will be 0mV, preventing the generation of extra thermoelectromotive force which can cause errors.

ONLINE MODULE CHANGE Precautions for Online Module Change The following are the precautions for online module change. (1) Always perform an online module change in the correct procedure. A failure to do so can cause a malfunction or failure. (2) If an online module change is made with the user range setting, the accuracy after that will fall to about less than 1/3 of the accuracy before that.
Middle If the error occurs again, the module may be The number of the error channel can not be identified. malfunctioning. Please consult your local Mitsubishi representative. Perform the offset/gain setting again for all of the channels that the error occurred.
