5623B may also be used as a temperature standard for calibration of industrial sensors. The PRT is used with a readout device to detect temperature changes or actual temperature. The 5623B covers the range from –100 °C to 156 °C. Standard length is 6 inches. Custom lengths are available on request.
5623B Users Guide Safety Information Use this instrument only as specified in this manual. Otherwise, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired. The following definitions apply to the terms “Warning” and “Caution”. • “Warning” identifies conditions and actions that may pose hazards to the user.
Precision RTD Freezer Probe Specifications Specifications See Table 2 for a list of the specifications. Table 2. Specifications Parameter Range Temperature Range –100 °C to 156 °C Nominal Resistance at 0.01 °C 100 Ω ±0.1 Ω Temperature Coefficient 0.003925 Ω/Ω/ °C Drift ±0.1 °C at 0.010 °C Hysteresis...
Installation Lead Wire Identification The 5623B PRT is equipped with a four-wire cable (see Figure 1). Four lead wires are used to cancel lead wire resistance. For best results, the readout device should be equipped to handle four-terminal resistors. The lead wires are two different colors. Lead wire pairs attached to each end of the sensor are identified by red and white insulation.
Precision RTD Freezer Probe Operation Operation For best results, be familiar with the operation of the heat source and the readout instrument. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the readout instrument and the heat source. Immersion Requirements Stem effect can cause measurement errors for any thermometer not immersed in the fluid at least 114 mm (4.5 in).
If a problem arises, please read this section carefully and attempt to understand and solve the problem. If the probe seems faulty or the problem cannot otherwise be solved, contact Fluke for assistance (see “How to Contact Fluke”). Be sure to have the model number and serial number of your probe available.
