WARNING!
When the thermocouple is installed, the temperature must not drop below the
allowed operating temperature (environment, medium) or exceed it, even when
taking convection and heat radiation into account!
WARNING!
Thermocouples must be earthed (grounded) if dangerous voltages could be
expected at the connection wires (caused, for example, by mechanical damage,
electrostatic discharge or induction)!
