    Introduction Applications Resistance temperature sensors are used to monitor the heat of hydration in mass concrete. Operation The temperature sensor consists of a stainless steel body, an RTD or thermistor inside the body, and a signal cable. The resistance of the RTD or thermistor varies with temperature. The readout unit or data logger converts the resistance reading to degrees C Resistance Temperature Sensor, 2004/11/18...
  • Page 4: Installation Suggestions

    Installation Suggestions • Sensor When a temperature sensor is mounted in a particularly vulnerable position, consider spraying the area with marker paint, covering the gauge with a protective wire mesh, or placing some non-structural steel to protect the gauge. Damage is most likely to occur when the reinforcing gauge is lifted and then placed and also when the tremie pipe places the cement.

    Taking Readings VW Data Recorder Connect signal cable to the data recorder: Cable Part Numbers and Color Coding Binding Posts 50613524 52602320 52602300 RTD/Therm Blue RTD/Therm White & Blue Black Black Choose Hz + RTD -or- Hz + Thermistor. Press the Enter key (the sweep range has no effect). The recorder displays a RTD or Thermistor reading in degrees C.
  • Page 6: Diagnostics

    Diagnostics No Reading Set your handheld multimeter to a low-ohm range (5k ohm). • Measure the resistance between the RTD/Thermistor wires (blue and white). Thermistors should read about 3000 ohms. RTDs should read about 2000 ohms. If the reading is very high or infinite, the tempera- ture device is damaged (or the cable is severed).
