A1: The module supports both Type J and Type K thermocouples, selectable via the application.

Q2: How is cold junction compensation handled?
A2: It uses an on-board AD592 temperature sensor to measure ambient temperature, with compensation performed in software.

Q3: What happens if a thermocouple input becomes open?
A3: The module can be configured to fail high or fail low using jumpers to maintain a known input state.

Q4: Does the module feature input deviation alarms?
A4: Yes, an alarm is raised if any input deviates beyond the “Max Deviation” threshold, typically 1% of the input range.
