TC Types and Ranges Range (degrees C)
J - 210 ... + 760
K - 270 ... + 1370
E - 270 ... + 1000
T - 270 ... + 400
S - 50 ... + 1665
R - 50 ... + 1665
B + 130 ... + 1820
Millivolt Ranges - 100 mV ... +100 mV*
- 25 mV ... +25 mV*

TC Resistance / Max Source 
Resistance
200Ω max for rated accuracy
Input Impedance > 1 MΩ
Input Filter Single low pass @ nominal 20 Hz, 
plus notch filter at 50/ 60 Hz 
Normal Noise Rejection 120 dB min @ 50 or 60 Hz
Cold Junction Compensation 
(CJC) 
Internal CJC operates 0 ... 60° C (errors are included in 
the accuracy specification). The connector door must be 
closed.
Remote CJC can be implemented by connecting a TC 
(which monitors the external junction block temperature) 
to channel 1. Types J, K, and T are recommended for 
remote CJC.
