TURCK’s temperature instruments utilize platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), commonly referred to as a Pt-100 technology.
Pt-100’s contain a platinum wire that is wrapped around a core or patterned as a thin film on a substrate so that it experiences minimal differential expansion or other strains.
As the temperature changes, the controller measures the change in the electrical resistance of the platinum wire.
The resistance experienced by the sensor is proportional to the temperature changes being experienced by the media being sensed.
Specifically, the hotter the wire becomes, the higher the value of electrical resistance. They require a small power source in order to measure resistance.
Features- Simple push-button programming includes a recessed button that stores selected values and helps prevent inadvertently changing parameters.
