thermocouple wiring

[Ron Schroeder]

Hi,

Thermocouples need to be extended with the same type of wire that the
thermocouple is made of or you creat new thermocouples at each splice.  If
you do not use thermocouple wire (and thermocouple connectors),  keep the
splices on each lead as close to the same temperature to each other so the
effects cancel.
