Guys,I am totally confused. I thought that the thermal couples that i received from GRT (i.e. exhaust and head temp) were premade with ends installed - They are not to be cut or modified in any way. The kit includes extra terminals to cut and terminate the wires from the instrument to the correct install length and then connect to the thermal couple wire. Why are we talking about terminating the thermal couple wires, What did i miss?Joe Horton,Coopersburg, PA. ---------- Forwarded Message --------- From: Glenn Martin <rep...@martekmississippi.com> To: KRnet <kr...@mylist.net> Subject: Re: KR> Re: EIS Thermocouple Wiring List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Wed, 05 Oct 2011 10:36:47 -0500

I have a hard time believing that the calibration error introduced by this junction would be anywhere near the error introduced by the galvanometer (meter movement) it is normally displayed on (considering that there are solder joints along the meter path INSIDE the unit). What is the accuracy of the thermocouple itself, 2-5%? Perhaps less accurate? -- Glenn Martin Biloxi, MS _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html ____________________________________________________________ Penny Stock Jumping 3000% Sign up to the #1 voted penny stock newsletter for free today! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4e8c86f349142a7f6bcst04duc
