The Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRT) model 5623A is designed to be a secondary standard interpolating instrument converting temperature to resis- tance. The 5623A assembly design allows for exposure to very cold tempera- ture (–200°C) and is an ideal reference for verification, monitoring or calibrating control sensors in located in freezers or incubators.
Hart will repair the product and bill the pur- chaser for the reasonable cost of repair. 5623A –200°C to 156°C –200°C to 156°C ±0.05°C (full range) <±0.01 at 0°C per year, when used periodically at 200...
3 Specifications and Warranty To exercise this warranty, the purchaser must forward the product after calling or writing an Authorized Hart Scientific Service Center (see Section 1.3 on page 3) for authorization. The Service Center assumes NO risk for in-transit damage.
Installation Lead Wire Identification The 5623A PRT 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 de- vice should be equipped to handle four-terminal resistors.
• DO allow sufficient time for the thermometer to stabilize before making measurements. This allows for the best accuracy. • DO use the correct drive current with the thermometer to prevent error in temperature or resistance. Hart Scientific recommends 1mA.

5 PRT Care and Handling Guidelines • DO NOT screw a clamp down so tight that it dents the sheath. This can permanently damage the PRT. Hart Scientific...
114 mm (4.5 inches). This error is due to heat lost or gained by the sensing element through the thermometer stem. In addition, heat losses occur due to radiation losses from the sensing element to the housing.
Temperature readout different than expected, e.g. the heat source is set at 150°C, the PRT measures 125°C. 5623A Causes and Solutions • Mechanical shock can cause temperature errors as great as 0.5°C. If this is observed, first measure and record the R •...
