1. Introduction
The TEMP 120 is a 20-channel thermocouple measurement module. For sensor connections it
offers universal type miniature thermocouple jacks. An individual reference junction temperature
sensor is located at the base of every connection. Since the device is purpose built, is uses a
simplified data logger measurement instruction and computes the compensated temperature
on-board rather than relying on a data logger to make the calculation.
2. Precautions
READ AND UNDERSTAND the
l
WARNING:
l
Protect from over-voltage
o
Protect from water
o
Protect from ESD (electrostatic discharge)
o
IMPORTANT: Maintain a level of calibration appropriate to the application. Campbell
l
Scientific recommends factory recalibration of Extended Duty (XD) TEMP 120 units every
three years.
3. Initial inspection
Inspect the packaging and contents for damage immediately. File damage claims with the
l
shipping company.
Check packaging materials for all products. Check model numbers, part numbers, product
l
descriptions, and cable lengths against shipping documents. Model or part numbers are
found on each product. Cable numbers are normally found at the end of the cable that
connects to the measurement device. Check that expected cable lengths were received.
Contact Campbell Scientific immediately if you find any discrepancies.
Check the operating system version in the TEMP 120, and the data logger. Update as
l
needed. See
Operating systems
section at the front of this manual.
