2. Connect the instrument
Warning: This instrument is designed for use with input
voltage, current and frequency as specified in the
Factory Configuration in Appendix A only; serious
equipment damage and/or injury will occur if it is
connected to improper power.
Caution: Air vents are located on top, bottom and rear of the
instrument. Airflow must not be restricted at these
locations.
1.
Make sure the switch on the front panel is in the off position.
2.
Plug your process thermocouple, Type K, into the control sensor receptacle
on the rear panel. (If you need to add connectors to your sensors, do it now.
Remember thermocouples are polarity sensitive, for Type-K the yellow wire
is positive.)
