= 25°C, and Pt100 sensor)
Make sure that the cable resistance and therefore the measuring error is as low as possible:
• Use sensor cables that are as short as possible.
• Avoid cable cross sections smaller than 0.5 mm

.
The temperature has only a small influence on the cable resistance.
You can calculate the cable resistance as follows:
Since there are two cable resistances in the measuring system, the value must be doubled.
Using the average temperature coefficient α =0.385Ω/K for Pt100, the absolute measuring
error in Kelvin can be determined for platinum sensors according to DIN.
