  • Automatic cold junction compensation
  • Standard fl at pin connectors

Expander modules

The XPod is a device that can be fixed on OR3X TW analyzer. Each XPod is associated to a block of 8 inputs.

In the connected mode, when and XPod is present each corresponding input can be routed to:

· The BNC input (Standard)

· The XPod connector


Settings

General Xpod settings

  • Type: For acquisition setup preparation, the XPod presence can be simulated in the office mode:

One XPod type selector is available for each XPod position.

  • Cold Compensation: Enable or disable the internal cold junction compensation for the corresponding active Temperature Xpod. This setting enables the compensation of the connectors metal junction thermocouple voltage at the Xpod side. It uses the Xpod internal temperature measurement (2 locations/Xpod) to correct the measured temperatures.

� Probe: Define the type of temperature probe connected on the XPod: o Thermocouple : J, K, T, N, E o RTD: PT100, PT1000, PT100 3 wires For each type of probe the Temperature range is shown in the “Range” setting.


While using RTDs (PT100 PT1000), the applied current can be selected

note : for 2 wire probe the 3thd pin is optional. it is workng with a 2 pins connector.
