6.1 Selecting Thermocouples and RTDs
CAUTION
When using thermocouple ranges, do not apply external voltage or current. Also, do not
connect to charged capacitive loads. Doing so may damage the voltage divider inside the
2560A.

ATTENTION
Avec des gammes de thermocouples, ne pas alimenter en tension externe, ni courant. En
outre, ne connectez pas à une charge capacitive chargée. Cela pourrait endommager le
diviseur de tension à l’intérieur du 2560A.
Procedure
1.
Turn the
RANGE
dial to select TEMP.
The TEMP indicator illuminates, and the TEMPERATURE dial is enabled.
2.
Turn the
TEMPERATURE
dial to select a thermocouple (R, S, B, J, T, E, K, N, C, A, TC USER)
or RTC (Pt100, RTD USER) type.
• The indicator for the selected type turns on.
• The displayed unit will be °C.
