AM1610 Precision Industrial PRT User’s Guide 1 Introduction 1.1 Main Application AM1610 Precision Industrial Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT) is an interpolating instrument converting temperature to resistance. It works together with readout device to measure temperature or change of temperature. It has wide applications for dry-wells or temperature baths.
AM1610 Precision Industrial PRT User’s Guide 2 Specifications 2.1 Specifications Temperature Range -60 °C to 160 °C Resistance at 0 °C Nominal 100 Ω 0.00385 Ω/ Ω/°C Temperature Coefficient ±0.05 °C over the full range Accuracy ±0.04 °C at 0 °C after 100 hours at 160 °C...
3 General Operations 3.1 Connecting to the readout device The AM1610 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.
3.6 Over Heating The sensing element of AM1610 PRT is sealed inside a stainless steel sheath to ensure the best stability and repeatability. The seal can be breached if the PRT is over heated for an extended period of time.
