52 - Active Terminals and Connections
Warning:
When using a thermocouple or an RTD sensor
connected to MC6-T to measure the external reference junction
temperature: Keep in mind that there is no galvanic isolation
between the sensors.
Note: Thermocouple measurements are error prone. There may
be faulty connections, wrong (extension) cables and settings in
MC6-T. If unsure, see chapter Thermocouple Connections and
study thermocouple literature.
RTD Sensor Simulation
RTD simulation is available from R1 terminals only.
Use of 2-, 3- or 4-wire connection is up to the receiving instrument.
Connect the possible third and fourth wire according to the requirements of
the connected instrument, but use only the two leftmost R1 terminals in
MC6-T
.
Figure 37: RTD simulation terminals. Range depends on selected
sensor type
Check the Sensor Type . Make sure you select the same sensor as
the instrument receiving the simulated signal requires. Otherwise your
simulations are unreliable.

Note: To ensure good contact between the device under test
and the test leads, we recommend using the alligator clips
provided with MC6-T.
AC measurement current from the instrument under test is not
supported. With pulsed measurement current, set a wait time of
a few milliseconds before the resistance is measured.
