Name Details Increments/decrements the offset value/gain value for the channel being used at the following rate. UP/DOWN 1) ON for less than 1.5 seconds: Increments/decrements in 0.025°C units. switch 2) ON for 1.5 seconds or more: Increments/decrements in 0.1°C unit every 0.04 seconds.
3.2 Error compensation procedures Start Adjust to the offset value with the UP/DOWN switch. Short-circuit the TEST terminals (A68RD3N/4N:Terminals1-2, A1S62RD3N/4N:Terminals1-3), and enter the test mode. DOWN Buffer memory Using the channel selection switch, -497 -500 set the channel to be compensated. Input the value for the offset value.

4. Handling (1) The main case and terminal block are made of resin, so do not drop it or apply strong impacts. (2) Do not remove the module's PCB from the case. Failure to observe this could lead to faults. (3) Make sure that foreign matter, such as wire scraps, do not enter the module during wiring.
5.2 Connection to A68RD3N, A1S62RD3N (1) The highest precision can be achieved by connecting a 3-wire type Pt100 to the A68RD3N and A1S62RD3N. An example of connecting a 3-wire Pt100 is shown below. Ex. the A68RD3N Internal circuit Shield Internal circuit ANALOG *1 Also ground the power supply unit's FG.
5.3 Connection to A68RD4N, A1S62RD4N and precautions (1) The highest precision can be achieved by connecting a 4-wire type Pt100 to the A68RD4N and A1S62RD4N. An example of connecting a 4-wire Pt100 is shown below. Ex. the A68RD4N Constant current circuit Internal circuit...
