The Yokogawa 701953 is a 16-channel external scanner box engineered for multichannel data acquisition when paired with the Yokogawa 720221 module. It delivers simultaneous DC voltage and temperature measurements across 16 independent input channels, supporting 12 thermocouple types (K, E, J, T, L, U, N, R, S, B, W, Au-Fe-chromel) with reference junction compensation accuracy ranging from ±1°C to ±1.5°C depending on type. Input isolation between ground, terminal blocks, and subchannels ensures signal integrity in industrial environments. The 16-bit voltage measurement resolution (24000 LSB/range) and 0.1°C temperature resolution enable precise data capture, while the 600 Hz bandwidth (-3 dB point at 100 ms updating rate) suits low-frequency monitoring applications.
