Temperature Sensor
The SC-2071 board is equipped with an onboard temperature sensor for use with thermocouple
cold-junction compensation. This sensor, a National Semiconductor LM-35CZ, generates a
voltage output of 10 mV/
°
C, with an accuracy of
±
1
°
C. The sensor is jumper-enabled on input
channel 0. Jumper W1 is used to choose either the temperature sensor or the external screw
terminals as the input source for channel 0. If the temperature sensor is chosen, any signal
conditioning that has been installed on channel 0 is ignored and has no effect. Figure 3-3 shows
the positions for jumper W1.

Shield Ground
Jumper W2 is used to connect digital ground (DGND) to a grounded metal case. This option is
useful only if the SC-2071 board is on metal standoffs and mounted in a grounded metal case.
You can select shield grounding to reduce noise. Figure 3-4 shows the jumper settings for W2.

Fuse and Power LED
The +5 V line from the DAQ device is protected by an 800 mA fuse. If the red power LED does
not light when the DAQ device is powered on, check both the 800 mA fuse on the SC-2071
board and the output fuse (if any) on the Lab/1200 device. Information on power connection is
given in Chapter 5, Installation and Connections.
