■Characteristics
Note: 1. The indication of K thermocouples in the −200 to 1300°C
range, T and N thermocouples at a temperature of −100°C
max., and U and L thermocouples at any temperature is
±2°C ±1 digit maximum. The indication accuracy of the B
thermocouple at a temperature of 400°C max. is not
specified. The indication accuracy of the R and S
thermocouples at a temperature of 200°C max. is ±3°C ±1
digit max.
2. B, R, and S sensors: 0.2°C/Ωmax. (100 Ωmax.)
■Communications Specifications
Note: The baud rate, data bit length, stop bit length, and vertical
parity can be individually set using the Communications Setting
