Connection when
easuring/simulating
thermocouples
using Internal
Reference Junction
Mode:
➢
External Reference Junction
When using an external Reference Junction, PCE-MCA 50
measures or simulates the thermo-
voltage using the “T/C” terminals.
The following external Reference Junction compensation methods
are available, To select this compensation method, set the SCR1
field “T/C Sensor Measurement” or “T/C Sensor Simulation”, make
sure the Unit is a temperature unit and set the
CJC Mode to “RTD
Compensation”.
➢
External RTD:
To be used when The Reference Junction temperature is
measured using an
RTD sensor connected
to PCE-MCA 50
’s RTD
terminals.

compensation
method “External
RTD”:
Note: If you connect an
RTD sensor to the
RTD connectors, there
is no galvanic isolation
between the
thermocouple and the RTD sensor.
