FP-TC-120 and cFP-TC-120
The following charts show the typical and maximum errors for the
different thermocouple types, both with the [c]FP-TC-120 at room
temperature (15 to 35 °C) and over the full temperature range
(–40 to 70 °C). These charts allow for a 0.2 °C temperature
gradient across the terminal base or connector block and do not
include the accuracy of the thermocouple itself.
