Adjustment of measuring section with PT sensor
PT sensors have an output resistance which is mostly referred
in the data sheet. Often the data sheet is lost but the sensor is
still there. In HM8112-3 a value of 100 mΩ is stored by default.
But some PT sensors have an integrated series resistance
(e.g. 10 mΩ). For an optimal adjusted measuring section the
exact output resistance must be known. This applies for 4-wire
measurement but especially for 2-wire measurements. Via
interface the default value stored ex factory can be aligned.
Values between 0 mΩ and 100 mΩ are possible.
Determination of the output resistance
The PT100 or PT1000 sensor has to be immersed in an ice
bath. At 0 °C the sensor has a resistance of 100 Ω and 1000 Ω
respectively. The resistance of the temperature sensor is taken
by a resistance measurement. The output resistance is the dif-
ference between the measured value and the specifi ed value.

Max / Min values

MAX / MIN
The maximum or minimum measured value is displayed. As
this is possible in every measurement function, a system can
be controlled with respect to min/max values. There is no time
limitation, e.g. for activating this function for one year, the
minimum or maximum value measured during this year will
be displayed. This function is deactivated by pushing the keys
MAX or MIN again. Changing the measurement function
will deactivate this function, too.

Range selection

Manual range selection
The range can be selected manually by pressing
.
Switch to a lower range. The auto range function will
be deactivated.
Switch to a higher range. The auto range function will
be deactivated.
If the applied measurement value exceeds the range, the display
will show „Overfl ow".
AUTO
With button AUTO the auto range function can be activated.
This function is selectable for voltage, current and resistance
measurements.
As the autorange function is activated a higher range will be
selected after the measured value exceeds 90% of full scale. The
HM8112-3 will change to a lower range, if the value falls below
10% of full scale. If the signal applied exceeds the specifi ed
limits of the instrument in the autorange function, the display
shows "overfl ow".
