2-30 Basic Measurements

Measuring temperature

The Model 2010 can measure temperature with a four-wire RTD sensor or a thermocouple.
The temperature measurement ranges available depend on the type of RTD or thermocouple
chosen.
RTDs can be connected to the banana jacks on the front or rear panel.
Thermocouples can be connected to the Model 2001-TCSCAN card, which plugs into the
option slot of the Model 2010, or to an external thermocouple card, such as a Model 7057A,
7402, or 7014 installed in a Model 7001 or 7002 Switch System.
If the Model 2001-TCSCAN card is not used then an estimate of the panel temperature must
be made (usually 2°C above room temperature). Connect the thermocouple card directly to the
front panel Input HI and LO as shown in
choose the TCOUPLE configuration option and select JUNC. Pick the SIM option and input the
estimate.
