SCC-TC Series Thermocouple
Input Modules
The SCC-TC Series thermocouple input modules, SCC-TC01 and
SCC-TC02, accept input signals from B-, E-, J-, K-, N-, R-, S-, and T-type
thermocouples. The thermocouple inputs are filtered and passed into a
differential amplifier with a gain of 100. The output of the amplifier passes
through a dual-pole 2 Hz filter. Each module contains thermistor circuitry,
powered by a 2.5 V reference, to compensate for cold-junction effects.
Each module

Detecting Open Thermocouples The SCC-TC0X contains a 10 MΩ pull-up resistor that connects to +5 V to detect open thermocouples. To determine if you have an open thermocouple, check whether the corresponding E Series DAQ device channel is saturated. The pull-up and bias resistors saturate the channel by applying +2.5 V at the input of an open channel. This results in saturation to either the positive or negative rails of the E Series DAQ device (±10 V). Errors Due to Open-Thermocouple Detect

Calibrating the SCC-TC0X Using a Thermocouple Calibrator To calibrate the system using a thermocouple calibrator, complete the following steps: 1. Make sure that the thermocouple connections at both the SCC and the thermocouple calibrator are at the same temperature. 2. Connect the thermocouple calibrator to the SCC-TC0X. For best results, use thermocouple wire of the same length and type that you use in the thermocouple. 3. Set the thermocouple calibrator to the required calibration tempe
