PROGRAMMING FOR ORP MEASUREMENTS

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 two-wire RTD. Select a three- wire configuration and jumper the RTD return and -RTD sense terminals (termi- nals 3 and 4, respectively).

10.5.2 Procedure
