Chapter 5: Voltage-to-Temperature

In standard TCDA modules the low temperature is -50°C and the high temperature is 200° C. These temperatures correspond to an output voltage between 0 and 5VDC. The Voltage-to-Temperature Conversion Equation for standard TCDA modules is shown below.

NOTE: Do not use this equation if you have a modified TCDA module.

The following values are used for standard TCDA modules:

-50°C < Temperature < 200° C 0VDC < Vout < 5VDC

Vout is measured on DB-25 pin 8 ( pin 9 for channel 2) resolution = 20mV/° C = 0.02V/° C

Voff = -1.0VDC

TCDA modules with modified temperature measurement ranges will be supplied with temperature range, values for Voff, and resolution, and a modified Voltage-to-Temperature Conversion Equation.

The Fahrenheit-to-Centigrade and Centigrade-to-Fahrenheit Conversion Equations are shown below.
