Temperature accuracy is the value when 100 °C is measured when using a K-type thermocouple (including reference contact compensation accuracy).
Terminal Base Cover (B-588)
Compatible with all input terminals
* Except using with shunt resistor (B-551)
Expandable up to 200 channels
By adding an analog input terminal and an terminal base, it can be expanded in 20ch increments from a min of 20ch to a max of 200ch.
Channel Expansion (Sample) | 20ch | 40ch | 100ch | 200ch |
---|---|---|---|---|
GLT400 main unit | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Terminal base | 1 | 2 | 5 | 10 |
Input terminal (*2) | 1 | 2 | 5 | 10 |
- (*2)
- Input terminal price is means of standard terminal price.
Terminals (B-564,B-564SL,B-565) can be mixed. However, if you mix B-565 with B-564 or B-564-SL, the specification of B-565 will be equivalent as B-564 or B-564-SL.
When connected as a remote unit of the GL840 series, 180ch is the maximum. (GL840: 20ch + GLT400: 180ch) (sytem max. 200ch)
Expansion method (2 types)
The measurement data is safely stored in the flash memory of the main unit
Standard 4GB Built-in Flash memory and available SD card slot.
Internal memory : 4GB
SD card slot : Support SDHC and Max 32 GB
* SD card cannot be used when the wireless LAN unit is used.
* Max single file size is 2GB. (use Relay mode to extend recording)
