I now have arrived at the P1 connector on the EM-2. This supplied connector is a solder connector to be connected to J and K thermocouple wire....Hmmm. You can not solder this wire....Hmmm. I have considered buying a crimp connector, BUT there is going to be a transition joint from thermocouple wire to copper at some place inside this apparatus no matter what you do. So what I am going to do is make up copper jumpers that solder to the connector and terminate with crimped ring terminals for connection to the thermocouple wires. The connection will be inside the panel and I think will introduce a minimum of error in the system. Any comments or a better way to think of this? Bill Bradburry
