BAM 55: The skinny on sensors

By Phil Zito on Apr 21, 2017 6:00:45 AM

Have you ever wondered how a temperature sensor really works? What does the RTD mean and why is 1,000 ohms resistance so important.

What does the RTD mean and why is 1,000 ohms resistance so important?

In this week's Friday Fan Answers I discuss a question from Nick. Nick asks "Can you cover or explain the technical reasons for a 1000 ohm RTD sensor to suddenly begin to fluctuate drastically" Sure thing Nick!

Sure thing Nick!

In this episode you will learn:

  • The best way to wire up a temperature sensor
  • Why vibration can lead to huge temperature issues
  • What this whole 1,000 ohms thing is about
  • How often and how to calibrate your temperature sensors

 

Thanks for Listening!
