PT100 Module (External Sensor)
22 Administrator Guide v 2.2 Thermo Scientific Smart-Vue
®
Wireless Monitoring Solution
Smart-Vue PT100 modules are typically installed on the outside of freezers,
ovens, and nitrogen tanks with the sensor placed inside the chamber via the
appropriate built-in configuration.
4.3 Getting Started
4.3.1 Smart-Vue and PT100
Delivered Connected and
Calibrated
The Smart-Vue module and PT100 sensor are already connected to each
other when you receive them. They have been calibrated as a “pair” before
delivery. If you change either the module or the sensor in the future, you
must recalibrate the new pair.
4.3.2 Placing the PT100 Sensor As mentioned above, the Smart-Vue wireless monitoring system supports
three different PT100 temperature sensors, each designed for a different
application and temperature range. Placement of your PT100 sensor(s)
depends on the equipment you intend to monitor, as described below.
CAUTION: In all cases described in this section, the plastic male connector
(Figure 13) must be at room temperature.
Note When routing the cable for any Smart-Vue sensor, avoid direct contact
with or close proximity placement of the sensor cabling with any high voltage
wiring. Cabling should be placed with no less than a minimum of 5 cm (2
inches) distance from high voltage components. Also, avoid running the sensor
cable in parallel with high voltage wiring.
Your equipment may be different than that described here. Contact the
manufacturer of your equipment for instructions regarding proper
placement of the sensor.
4.3.3 PT100 (Calibrated for
+100°C to +350°C)
When using PT100 sensors with ovens, kilns and incubators, we
recommend that you insert only the sensor into the chamber. The sensor
can withstand +350°C but high temperatures can affect the gray cable. The
cable supports temperatures up to +350°C if firmly attached (no movement)
or up to +250°C if the cable is moved regularly.
The sensor length is designed to ensure that the sensor at the end of the
sensor reaches properly into the space being monitored.
