Q. What is the difference between the F4-08THM and the F4-08THM-n?
A. See here.
Q. I connected a thermocouple to the F4-08THM-n but the temperature
reading is way off or it reads burnout, what's wrong?
A. Make sure that the thermcouple type that you are using matches the
part number you are using. F4-08THM-J should be used with a J type thermocouple.
Q.Can I field calibrate my F4-08THM-n?
A. There are no field adjustments for this module but you can use ladder
logic to add or subtract a calibration factor.
Q. How can I verify the module is functioning correctly?
A. Thermocouple calibrator. Not all thermocouple calibrators will function
with our module. To detect thermocouple burnout, we send balanced currents
down each leg of the thermocouple wire, most thermocouple calibrators
CANNOT handle this current pulse. We use an NIST traceable thermocouple
calibrator - ALTEK Model 422.
Q. How much error will thermocouple extension wire introduce?
A. Thermocouple extension wire has a limit of error from 1.7°C to 2.2°C
depending on the type wire. This error can be removed by subtracting
the error from your reading in ladder logic.
