6.2 Setting the Temperature
Procedure
Setting the Temperature
Turn the
main setting
dials to set the temperature.
The main setting display shows the specified temperature.
Setting the Polarity
Flip the
POLARITY
switch up or down to set the polarity.
Example of s100.0°C
Unit
Use each main setting dial to set the corresponding digit value,
shown by the frames.
Carrying over and borrowing occurs automatically within the
selectable range.

Explanation
Selectable Range
The selectable range and resolution of each thermocouple and RTD type are shown below. For
detailed specifications, see section 16.1.
• If you do not change the type, you can change the main setting and polarity even while the output is
on.
• If the output setting goes outside the selectable range when you change the polarity, the output
turns off, and the main setting and polarity displays blink.

* If you select TC USER, the thermoelectromotive force corresponding to the user-defined
temperature can be sourced. For a detailed procedure, see section 6.5. For details on definition
expressions, see appendix 6.
