10.5 TEMPERATURE ELEMENT
10.5.1 Purpose
This section describes how to match the transmitter to the type of temperature element in the ORP sensor.
10.5.2 Definition
TEMPERATURE ELEMENT: ORP sensors use a variety of temperature ele- ments. The Model 3081 ORP transmitter recognizes the following temperature elements and configurations:
a.three and four wire 100 ohm platinum RTDs
b.three and four wire 1000 ohm platinum RTDs
c.3000 ohm Balco RTD
PROGRAM
tEMP
EXIT NEXT ENTER
A 100 ohm platinum RTD has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C. A 1000 ohm plat- inum RTD has a resistance of 1000 ohms at 0°C. A 3000 ohm Balco RTD (Balco is an alloy of 70% nickel and 30% iron) has a resistance of 3000 ohms at 25°C. Although only two lead wires are necessary to connect the RTD to the transmit- ter, connecting a third (and sometimes fourth) wire allows the transmitter to cor- rect for the resistance of the lead wires and for changes in wire resistance with temperature.
The Model 3081 transmitter can also be used with a
