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
0
. The most
common R
0
is 100
Ω
. Most RTDs come in a three-
terminal configuration. The calibrator accepts RTD
measurement inputs in two-, three-, or four-wire
connections. A four-wire configuration provides the
highest measurement precision, and two-wire
provides the lowest measurement precision.
