2.1 Description
These resistance thermometers and thermocouples are used for temperature
measurement in industrial applications.
This document describes instruments in standard version. For applications in hazardous
areas special instrument versions are required.
For further information for operation in hazardous areas, see the additional information for the
corresponding ignition protection type (separate document).
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here,
