7.3.9 Resistance temperature sensors
Resistance temperature sensors are passive transducers. For this trans
ducer you will need the ML801B multi-channel module with connection
board AP835. It performs linearization automatically and indicates the cor
rect temperature.
If you selected 'Resistance temperature sensor' as the operating mode and
°C or °F as the unit, the corresponding temperature display will be in de
grees of the selected unit. If you choose volts as the unit, the output voltage
will be scaled accordingly
1)
.
The settings are explained with the following example:
Resistance temperature sensors type Pt100; the temperature will be dis
played in °C with a temperature of 50 °C equivalent to an output signal of
0 V. At 70 °C the output signal will be +10 V.

The permitted ranges depend on the bridge excitation voltage. If you set a measuring range that lies outside of of the adjustment range of
the amplifier, the maximum or minimum value will be applied.
