6.3 Turning the Output On and Off
Procedure
Flip the
OUTPUT
switch up.
• The output turns on. The OFF indicator turns off, and the ON indicator turns on.
• Flipping the OUTPUT switch down while the output is on will turn off the output. The ON indicator will
turn off, and the OFF indicator will turn on.

Output terminals
Note
• When outputting temperature, do not short the output terminals.
• If the output terminal temperature changes as a result of making contact when wiring thermocouples,
compensating lead wires, and the like; making contact when connecting external RJ sensors; and due to
ambient air movement, errors exceeding the accuracy specifications may occur. In such situations, wait
until the output stabilizes. Also while the 2553A is generating output, keep the output terminal temperature
from changing due to the effects air conditioning, other heat sources, and the like.
Explanation
Turning the Output On and Off
When the output is turned on, the 2553A will source the thermoelectromotive force or resistance
corresponding to the specified temperature from the output terminals.
• If you change the type, the output automatically turns off.
• If the output setting is outside the selectable range, the output cannot be turned on.
