6.4 Turning the Output On and Off and Setting the
Output Value Display Mode
Procedure
Turning the Output On and Off
Flip the
OUTPUT
switch up.
• The output turns on. The OFF indicator turns off, and the ON indicator turns on.
• Flipping the OUTPUT switch down while the output is on will turn off the output. The ON indicator will
turn off, and the OFF indicator will turn on.

Unit
The following figure shows an example when the output value display mode (explained on the next
page) is set to DEG. For the unit, “°” is illuminated. An example when the output value display mode
is set to V.OHM is shown below.

Note
• When outputting temperature, do not short the output terminals.
• If the output terminal temperature changes as a result of making contact when wiring thermocouples,
compensating lead wires, and the like; making contact when connecting external RJ sensors; and due to
ambient air movement, errors exceeding the accuracy specifications may occur. In such situations, wait
until the output stabilizes. Also while the 2560A is generating output, keep the output terminal temperature
from changing due to the effects air conditioning, other heat sources, and the like.
The output value display unit of thermoelectromotive force and resistance for the specified temperature
on the 2560A is set to “°” by default. By changing the output value display mode settings, you can set
the unit to “mV” for thermocouples and “Ω” for RTDs. The procedure is shown on the next page.
