Keep signal lines (thermocouples) away from wires that could serve as sources of noise (power supply lines,
etc.). Furthermore, you can block capacitive coupling by shielding and grounding signal lines.
• Isolate circuits from sources of noise (measure temperature using thermocouples).
Input channels are isolated from the enclosure and from each other. You can measure a
conductor with a potential by directly affixing a thermocouple, up to the maximum rated terminal-
to-ground voltage.
Effective methods for dealing with the effects of noise include wrapping the thermocouple in high-
heat-resistance tape to insulate it or isolating input lines with non-grounded thermocouples.
• Use a filter.
You can reject noise that has contaminated input signals by using the power supply frequency
filter.
It is recommended to select the same frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) as the power supply frequency
in the region where the instrument is being used.
See “7.1 Configuring Settings” (p. 164).
The U8554 and LR8534 provide a low-pass filter.
Set the low-pass filter’s cutoff frequency so that it’s lower than the power supply frequency.
