Working Principle:
The KJ4001X1-CG1 terminal block receives the millivolt signal from field-mounted thermocouple sensors through its screw terminals. The terminal block routes this low-level signal through the carrier backplane to the corresponding analog input card, which performs cold junction compensation and converts the millivolt signal into a temperature reading. The terminal block is a passive interface that maintains signal integrity without active processing.
Installation Requirements:
- Mount the terminal block onto the appropriate DeltaV I/O carrier
- Connect thermocouple extension wires to the designated terminals observing proper polarity
- Use thermocouple-grade extension wire matching the sensor type
- Ensure terminal screws are properly torqued to maintain reliable low-resistance connections
- Route thermocouple cables away from power cables and sources of electromagnetic interference
Usage Precautions:
- De-energize field circuits before making or breaking terminal connections
- Verify thermocouple type matches the I/O card configuration settings
- Do not mix thermocouple wire types in the extension wiring
- Avoid creating additional thermocouple junctions at terminal connections
- Use shielded or twisted-pair thermocouple extension cables in noisy environments
- Inspect terminals periodically for corrosion, which can introduce measurement errors
