1 Introduction and Safety Information
The Hart 1529 is a low-cost, high-accuracy, digital thermometer readout designed to
be used with 25 and 100 W PRTs, thermistors, and thermocouples. Its unique combi-
nation of features makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications from laboratory
measurement to industrial processes. Features of the 1529 include:
Measures 25 W and 100 W PRTs, thermistors, and thermocouples
●
Four inputs: two PRT/thermistor and two thermocouple (standard configuration)
●
Four-wire connection eliminates lead resistance effects in PRTs
●
Three-wire measurement mode for three-wire RTDs
●
Exclusive patented mini-DWF connectors (U.S. Patent No. 5,964,625)
●
Automatic current reversal eliminates thermoelectric EMF errors
●
Accuracy: PRTs to 0.006 °C, thermistors to 0.002 °C, and thermocouples to
●
0.3 °C
Typical resolution: PRTs 0.001 °C, thermistors 0.0001 °C, thermocouples
●
0.01 °C
Measures four sensors simultaneously with a fast one-second measurement
●
cycle
Measures one sensor at 10 readings per second (limited accuracy)
