ONFIGURATION
The EX10xxA will initially be configured to receive its time through PTP (Precision Time Protocol).
The user can also set time using SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) or the time can be set
manually. The manual setting is necessary if the network environment is such that the unit cannot
reach the Internet. For more information, see
Time Configuration in Section 4.

Thermocouple Connections
The EX10xxA employs an uncompensated (Cu-Cu) mini-thermocouple female jack as its input
connector. This connector provides a solid, reliable connection that is also easily changeable. Since
it is not thermocouple-type specific, different thermocouple types can be mixed throughout the unit
without hardware modification. The input jack is polarized and will only accept its mating connector
in one orientation. The mating connector is a standard mini-thermocouple male jack. A popular
source is the SMPW series from Omega Engineering. For specified accuracy performance, the input
connector must be of the same thermocouple type as the wire being connected.
Thermocouple wire is polarized, and it is critical to consider this polarity when connecting the
thermocouple wire to the thermocouple jack. For reference, the color designations and polarizations
of the most popular thermocouple types are listed in Table 2-2 for both ANSI (American) and IEC
(European) standards.
