RT D - PT 100

Re sistanc e Tempe ratur e De tector

Application Examples
· All temperatures from cryogenic to ±600°C where fast
response and accuracy are required
· Pharmaceutical
· Laboratory
· General industry

Description
The resistance that electrical conductors exhibit to the flow of an
electrical current is related to their temperature.

A PT-100 is a precision platinum resistor that exhibits 100W at

0°C.

ORDERING CODE It has a positive temperature co-efficient so as the temperature

rises, so does the resistance.

Wiring and Connection

ELEMENT CONNECTIONS
RTD sensor assemblies are available with two, three and four wire leads. Two wire connected elements do not provide
lead resistance compensation for the measuring device. Three and four wire connected elements provided a means for
compensating for lead resistance between the sensor and the measuring device.

Two-Wire: Three-Wire: Four-Wire:

Provides one connection to each end of the
element. This construction is suitable where the
resistance of the lead wire may be considered as
and additive constant in the circuit and
particularly where the changes in lead resistance
due to ambient temperature changes may be
ignored.
Provides one connection to one end of the
element and two to the other end of the element.
Connected to an instrument designed to accept
three wire input, sufficient compensation is
usually achieved for leadwire resistance and
temperature change in leadwire resistance. This
is the most commonly used configuration.
Provides two connections to each end of the
element to completely compensate for leadwire
resistance and temperature change in leadwire
resistance. This configuration is used where
highly accurate temperature measurment is vital.
