Note 7:
Error shown does not include errors of the sensor itself. These specs are for one year while operation
of the WEB-TEMP unit is between 15 °C and 35 °C. Contact your sensor supplier for details on the
actual sensor error limitations.

Note 8:
Error shown does not include errors of the sensor itself. The sensor linearization is performed using a
Callendar-Van Dusen linearization algorithm. These specs are for one year while operation of the
device is between 15 °C and 35 °C. The accuracy and tempco specifications include the accuracy of
the Callendar-Van Dusen linearization algorithm. The specification does not include lead resistance
errors for 2-wire RTD connections. Contact your sensor supplier for details on the actual sensor error
limitations.
Note 9:
Resistance values greater than 660 Ω cannot be measured by the WEB-TEMP in the RTD mode. The
660 Ω resistance limit includes the total resistance across the current excitation (±Ix) pins, which is the
sum of the RTD resistance and the lead resistances.
Note 10:
For accurate three wire compensation, the individual lead resistances connected to the ±Ix pins
must be of equal ohmic value. To ensure this, use connection leads of equal lengths.
