NOTE! The Ref voltage is provided for special sensor types.
Do not use this voltage without consulting Watlow
Anafaze.
Connecting Thermocouples
NOTE! Connect thermocouple shields directly to a good
frame or chassis ground. Connect thermocouple
shields at one end only, either near the terminal board
or the sensor end.
A thermocouple is connected in a differential configuration by
wiring the positive signal lead to the A terminal of the proper
input and the negative signal lead to the B terminal of the
same input. The designators are located on the terminal block
cards near each screw terminal. See Figure 2.31.
