SET CJC

• Internal

This selection activates the internal CJ compensation mode. A temperature sensor fitted near the T/C electrical connection measures the CJ temperature and activates the compensation circuit.

• Setting Cold Junction Compensation

This sets the CJ compensation temperature reference to a programmable value between 0 to 70° C. The T/C reference table uses a CJ temperature of 0° C.

SET CJC

CJC °C: 24.2 °C

Using the keys, select the required CJ compensation method and press ent. The display shows the mode settings (i.e. how the T/C measurement can be displayed).
