Explanation
Turning the Output On and Off
When the output is turned on, the 2560A will source the thermoelectromotive force or resistance
corresponding to the specified temperature from the output terminals.
• If you change the range or the thermoelectromotive force or resistance type, the output
automatically turns off.
• If the main setting is outside the selectable range, the output cannot be turned on.

Output Value Display Mode
Select the output value display unit of thermoelectromotive force and resistance for the specified
temperature for the following.
• DEG: Unit “°” illuminates regardless of the type.
Display resolution: 0.1°
• V.OHM: Unit “mV” illuminates when the type is thermocouple and “Ω” when the type is RTD.
Display resolution: 0.001 mV, 0.01 Ω
Note
If the thermocouple type is B and the output value is less than 43.0°C, the output display blinks
when the output value display mode is set to DEG but does not blink when the output value
display mode is set to V.OHM.
