4.3 - Thermocouple Connections
Your connector/transmitter has been design with a patented universal input
that will interface with most industry thermocouple connectors. Omega’s
Miniature (SMP) Series and Standard (OST) Series of connectors will plug
directly into the side of your unit. Omega’s line of thermocouple probes with
connectors attached will also plug directly into your unit.

4.3.1 Thermocouple Operating Environment and Placement
4.3.2 Ambient Temperature Concerns
Your Connector/Transmitter is rated for use in ambient temperatures between
-10°C (14°F) to 70°C (158°F). Exposure to temperatures below or above these
stated temperatures can cause your device to malfunction and produce
incorrect operation. When installing your thermocouple probe care should
be taken to make sure your connector/transmitter will not be operated in an
environment outside the specifications outlined in Section 9.
4.3.3 Recommended Placement
For applications were the ambient temperature around the thermocouple
probe has the possibility of exceeding the operating conditions outlined
in Section 9 of this manual, the connector/transmitter should be mounted
away from the thermocouple probe in an area within the normal operating
conditions of -10°C (14°F) to 70°C (158°F). See Below.
Figure 4-15. Recommended Thermocouple Placement
Installing your connector/transmitter in an application were the device will be
exposed to ambient temperatures above or below the operating limits specified in
this manual will damage your unit and cause the unit to malfunction and produce
incorrect operation.
