Using Resistance-Temperature Detectors (Rtds) - Fluke 725 User Manual

Using Resistance-Temperature Detectors (RTDs)

The calibrator accepts RTD types shown in Table 6. RTDs
are characterized by their resistance at 0 °C (32 °F),
which is called the "ice point" or R
is 100 . The calibrator accepts RTD measurement inputs
in two-, three-, or four-wire connections, with the
three-wire connection the most common. A four-wire
configuration provides the highest measurement
precision, and two-wire provides the lowest measurement
precision.
. The most common R
0 0
To measure temperature using an RTD input, proceed as
follows:
1. If necessary, press
2. Press for the RTD display. If desired, continue
pressing this key to select the desired RTD type.
3. Press or to select a 2-, 3-, or 4- wire
connection.
4. Attach the RTD to input terminals as shown in
Figure 11.
5. If necessary, you can toggle between C or F
temperature units by pressing
Using Measure Mode
