40 - Active Terminals and Connections
Note:
For HART and Fieldbus instrument specifics, see
Communicator . For information on External Devices (Pressure
and Temperature Controllers) used together with Calibrator and
Documenting Calibrator, see Additional Information .
In this manual, when presenting each function, there is a picture
with highlighted active terminals. The highlight for possible
optional connections is lighter. Connections to instruments are
included if it requires special attention. See chapter Current
Generation (Source or Sink) .
Note: A measurement, generation or simulation in one
subwindow reserve terminals in MC6-T. This may affect the
availability of measurements, generations and simulations in the
other subwindow. To free terminals, tap on the quantity button
and in the opened window, tap on the " Stop " button.
Measurements
Temperature Measurement (Thermocouple)
MC6-T has two thermocouple connectors. TC1 is for cables and standard
TC plugs.
TC2
is for TC plugs with flat contacts.
Check the Sensor Type . Your measurement results are unreliable unless
you select the same sensor type as is connected to MC6-T. Select also
a suitable Reference Junction compensation method. Wrong settings
yield useless measurement results. For more information see chapter
Thermocouple Connections .

sensor type
