It allows you to convert a temperature reading from a PT100-type RTD sensor into a current output signal that your equipment can use. The module is easy to install, as it uses a simple tension clamp connection and clips onto a DIN rail. Thanks to a wide temperature input range between 0°C and +200°C, you can use this module in demanding applications. Features & Benefits • Compatible with two and three-wire PT100 sensors for versatility
• Accepts wire sizes between 22 and 12AWG for broad compatibility
• Supply voltage range between 9 and 30V DC for use in low-power systems Applications • Factory automation
• Energy production
• Transportation sector How does an RTD temperature sensor work? RTD sensors contain a strip of metal. The metal's resistance increases as its temperature increases. When electricity passes through the sensor, it measures the level of resistance to the current, converting it to a temperature reading based on the properties of the element used.
