UM RTD.2 Checking the contents of the package The UM RTD.2 was checked mechanically and electrically prior to despatch. The necessary precau- tions have been taken to ensure it reaches the user without being damaged. Nonetheless, it is wise to perform a rapid check to detect any deterioration which may have occurred during transport.
It is especially designed for measurement and maintenance. It makes it possible to measure temperatures on site as well as in a laboratory. The UM RTD.2 features a large number of related functions which extend its range of application, in- cluding: •...
CAT II 60V: The notion of categories determines the maximum transient voltage that can be applied to the meas- urement inputs (it is also called overvoltage category). For the SIKA UM RTD.2, the maximum per- missible overvoltage is 60V (DC or AC) POL 2: The notion of pollution determines the clearance between circuits.
UM RTD.2 Using the instrument Using the instrument In order to use the device in all the safety required, all operators must read the paragraph on safety carefully, along with the paragraph below. 2.1 Power-up The device is delivered with 4 AA batteries of 1.5V each. It is wise to place these batteries in the compartment provided for this purpose.
UM RTD.2 Using the instrument 2.1.2 Measuring terminals The UM RTD.2 is fitted with 4 safety bushes (4 mm in diameter) ad a circular 4-point connector. This wiring is used in measurement mode. 3-wire measurement terminal Measurement: (positive) Measurement: 4-wire...
UM RTD.2 Using the instrument 2.1.4 Screen The UM RTD.2 is fitted with a graphic LCD display with back-lighting. The display resolution is 160 x 160 pixels. In normal operating conditions, the display is divided up into seven horizontal fields: •...
UM RTD.2 Mode Programming Mode Programming 3.1.1 Resistance or temperature measurement using resistive sensors • The function type selection (Resistive sensor type) is made using the F1 key (configuration menu). • Using the navigation keys (↑ and ↓), position the cursor in the Function field.
UM RTD.2 Related Functions Related Functions 4.1 Scaling (linearisation) The scale correction function performs conversion operations between the electrical values measured and the physical values converted. This linearisation operation makes it possible to correct partially the errors induced by non-linear sensor/converter systems.
UM RTD.2 Related Functions 4.3 Calibrated sensors (point correction) The calibrated sensors function of the device makes it possible to use sensors, the calibration (correc- tion) coefficients of which are taken into consideration by the device during measurement. • Using the F1 key, enter the Configuration menu.
UM RTD.2 Related Functions 4.4 Storage of acquisitions in progress The UM RTD.2 is designed to store 10000 measuring values in one or more acquisition bursts. • Using the F2 key, enter the Mode menu. • Select the Memory function.

UM RTD.2 Related Functions At this level, it is possible to • display the trend curve entirely: press the F2 key (GRAPH). • place markers so as to display in the form of a graph all the values included between these 2 markers.
UM RTD.2 Related Functions • Using the F2 key( ), you can delete the characters entered • Once you have entered the file name, confirm by pressing the VAL key. 4.4.7 Open a burst Allows you to choose a burst among many and to open it to display the values. At this level, you can obtain information on the acquisition burst, such as the number of measurements, the date of acquisi- tion, the sensor used, etc.
UM RTD.2 Parameter settings 5.3 “Preferences” setting 5.3.1 Filtering setting In the event of noisy measurements, you can filter the latter to make the value displayed on the screen more stable. • Access this menu using the F1 key (configuration menu).
UM RTD.2 Parameter settings 5.5 About the instrument menu In the Configuration/About menu, you can find out: • The Serial number • The software version • The date of adjustment This is the date of the very first adjustment/calibration of the instrument.
Typical 2 year relative accuracy can be estimated by multiplying the “% of rdg” specifications by 1.5. 6.2 Power supply – Autonomy The SIKA UM RTD.2 is designed to function either with four 1.5V AA batteries or with a 4.8V battery pack. The following autonomies are given for information.
