I bought an old pyrometer off ebay. its a sim-ply-trol. it can be seen
here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7597923845
It says "iron-constantan" and "ext. res 10 ohm" on the front. So I
guess that means Type J. But what does the ext. res 10 ohm mean?
Also, on the back, there are two screw terminals coming out of the
meter, but one of them has a little plastic dohickey screwed to it
that has some kind of wire wrapped around it which is attached to
another, floating screw terminal, which is shorted to the OTHER panel
mount terminal with a piece of wire. Is this so you can measure meter
temperature without a thermocouple? And do I connect a real
thermocouple directly to the screw terminals, or do I go through the
dohickey?
And how does a mechanical device like this compensate for the cold
junction?
