7. CONNECTING

A

RTD

Use the correct 100 Ω RTD (alpha =

0.003850) for your instrument. Using an

incorrect probe type will result in

erroneous readings. Insert the 3-pin plug

into the mating connector on the top of

the instrument.

If no probe is connected the display will

read “open”.

RTDs are sensitive at the tip or sensing

element. When taking measurements,

allow time for the reading to stabilize.

Multiplying the time constant of the

probe by 5 will give you the approximate

time required.
