Connect the PIE 820PM to the inputs of the device being calibrated using the proper type of thermocouple wire via the miniature thermocouple socket. If no sensor is connected, a wire is broken or the sensor is burned out, OPEN TC will appear on the display.
Disconnect all sensor wires from the devices to be calibrated and connect the PIE 820PM to the inputs of the device using 2, 3 or 4 wires. For 2 Wire resistacne connect the read lead into jack (1) and the black lead into jack (2). For 3 wire resistance add a black lead plugged into jack (3) and for 4 wire resistance add a red lead plugged into jack (4).
