■ Using a Cold Junction Compensator
A cold junction compensator can be used when, for example,
it is not possible to use an RJ sensor. The use of a cold junction
compensator enables the reference junction to be 0°C.

■ Using a bult-in RJ Sensor
When a built-in RJ sensor is used, a difference in temperature may
exist between the terminal of the calibrator and the thermometer.
