Any use beyond or different to the intended use is considered as improper use. Responsibility of the operator The CTR3000 multifunctional precision thermometer is a high accuracy instrument designed for laboratory and industrial temperature measurement and calibration applications. The operator is therefore responsible for legal obligations regarding safety at work.
This marking on the instruments indicates that they must not be disposed of in domestic waste. The disposal is carried out by return to the manufacturer or by the corresponding municipal authorities (see EU directive 2012/19/EU). WIKA Operating Instruction, model CTR3000...
automated monitoring and calibration applications; The CTR3000 will operate with all 3 and 4-wire Pt100 (100 Ohm) platinum resistance thermometers as well as most standard international thermocouple types. Temperature measurement units are selectable by front panel operation; °C, °F, K. Base measurement units mV,Ω are also displayed.
PRT is used on the correct and properly configured input channel. 4.2.2 Thermocouple measurement As well as the PRT resistance measurement facility the CTR3000 also functions as a precision millivolt-meter. Designed for high accuracy measurement over the EMF voltage range of all standard base and precious metal thermocouples, the CTR3000 achieves a basic voltage accuracy of better than ±0,004 % + 2 μV over the full measurement range.
Power on/off 4.3.2 Warm up time It is recommended that the CTR3000 be warmed up before use to stabilize the environmentally controlled components. This will ensure the best performance to the specifications. We recommend a warm up time of 1 hour for full accuracy specifications.
** The selected input channel is interrogated before each measurement cycle, and when enabled, SMART probes are identified by ‘SMART´ appearing as (S) beside the field 14. Open circuit thermometer input channels will display nothing, the symbol “OL” displays that the measurement value is out of range. WIKA Operating Instruction, model CTR3000...
4.3.4 Thermometer inputs 4.3.4.1 Resistance thermometers The CTR3000 has two resistance thermometer and two thermocouple input channels, the input sockets are located on the instruments front panel. PRTs are connected via the 5 pin DIN sockets. You may connect 2, 3, or 4 wire PRTs as shown below.
These sockets are within a temperature compensated isothermal block which eliminates the need for an external ice point reference junction. However, the CTR3000 may also be used with an external ice point reference for high precision measurement and calibration work.
Optional RS232 communication interface card slot. A blanking plate is fitted if there is no communication interface card. The CTR3000 may (optionally) be fitted with one of these interfaces. Operation is similar for all communication interfaces. Please refer to section 4.6.6 Application <<Remote>> for further details.

The option is between having an alarm for probes or not. If ON is clicked, then the measured temperature is compared with Tmax (set under probes). If Tmax < measured temperature, then an error appears (exclamation mark left beside the function key 12). WIKA Operating Instruction, model CTR3000...
Higher accuracy measurements can be made using calibrated thermometers whose characteristics have been determined. Before being used, the thermometer and its calibration details must be entered into the CTR3000 in the application <<probes>> (press the button <<probes>> while being in the <<Home>> application) under <<new probe>>. The thermometer will then appear in the thermometer list below <<configure existing probes>>...
This allows them to be kept at their normal working temperature, and so decrease settling time for each channel. The keep warm current is user selectable as ON/OFF. If set on, the CTR3000 automatically adjusts the PRT current (from 1 mA for the 100 ohm reference) to 2 mA for the 25 ohm reference.

The coefficients can be found in the calibration certificate while ordered a calculation. If you order a CTR3000 with a resistance thermometer and a system calibration with calculation of the coefficients, the probe will be stored under the serial number and will be calibrated with the normal sensor current.
Once all settings are done the changes must be confirmed with <<Store>>. The CTR3000 can be used with any thermocouple (calibrated or uncalibrated) fitted with a standard miniature thermocouple connector. Connect your thermocouple to either of the miniature thermocouple connectors on the front panel.

4. Design and Function 8. Conversion The EMF-temperature characteristics of thermocouples are non-linear and the CTR3000 uses standard algorithms (from IEC584) to convert the measured EMF to a temperature. Thermocouples can be calibrated individually to achieve better measurement uncertainty. The calibration is presented as a deviation function polynomial.
Once all settings are done the changes must be confirmed with <<Store>>. The CTR3000 can be used with thermistors. These are typically NTCs (negative temperature coefficient). Compared with PRTs/SPRTs, thermistors have a much higher resistance (typically measured in tens of kΩ), operate over a more limited temperature range (typically <...

12 months. The basic settings will be corrected if necessary. If a RTD or TC simulator is connected to one of the instrument’s channels and both the simulator and the CTR3000 are connected to the same computer via USB, please use a USB isolator between the simulator and the computer. Otherwise there is a chance that the measurement value is affected.
Working with a CTS5000 Switchboxes are detected at power-on and are daisy-chained. Addresses are assigned in order, so the first switchbox connected to the CTR3000 will start with the lowest address. An expansion port connector is provided on the rear panel at the CTR3000 itself. Here you have to connect the CTS5000 (BUS-in) with the delivered cable.

The part of the ITS-90 scale which may be measured by PRTs extends from 83.8058 K (- 189.3442°C) to 961.78°C. The CTR3000 is specified to measure temperature over the range -200°C to +962°C. The actual range of temperatures which may be measured depends on the type and range of the PRT.
11.3.2 Resistance thermometer The CTR3000 will operate with a range of 3 and 4-wire 25/100 Ohm PRTs. The best performance will be achieved only where good quality PRTs are used from reputable, proven sources. As with any measured parameter, the performance of a measurement system depends upon its stability and repeatability.
