UC RTD.2 Contents checks The UC 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 makes it possible to measure and to simu- late temperatures both on site as well as in a laboratory. The UC 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 UC RTD.2, the maximum per- missible overvoltage is 60V (DC or AC) POL 2: The notion of pollution determines the clearance between circuits.
UC 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.
HOLD Navigation 2.1.2 Measuring and simulation terminals The UC RTD.2 is fitted with 4 safety bushes (4 mm in diameter) ad a circular 4-point connector. This wiring is used both in measurement and emission mode (non-simultaneous). 3-wire voltage / measurement...

UC RTD.2 Mode Programming 3.1.2.4 Single ramp editing • Press the F2 key to display the edit menu. • Using the navigation keys (↑ and ↓), choose the SINGLE RAMP mode and confirm (VAL key). The values emitted are those programmed in the CONFIGURATION/RAMP menu a) automatically •...
UC 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.
UC 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.
UC RTD.2 Related Functions 4.4 Configuration predefined set points The configuration of predefined set points is performed in the Configuration/Points menu, obviously providing the default values mode has been confirmed. • Using the F1 key, select the Configuration/Points menu. •...
Related Functions UC RTD.2 4.5 Storage of acquisitions in progress The UC 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.
UC RTD.2 Related Functions 4.5.2 Run Launches the storage of data following the parameters set in the “parameters” function. The picto- gram is displayed on the measurement screen 4.5.3 Stop Stops the storage in progress. 4.5.4 Parameters Allows you to define: •...
