Connector Operation

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 to 70°C (14 to 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 to
70°C (14 to 158°F). See Below.2
