3.3 How the conditions of use affect the selection of the sensor element
Depending on the measuring range, measuring inserts can be used with different RTDs. The
wire-wound Pt100 RTDs, WW type for short (wire-wound), allow for a wide measuring range
from -200...+600°C / -328...+1112°F. In contrast, thin film Pt100 RTDs, so-called TF types, have a
smaller temperature range of use of -70...+500°C / -94...+932°F. However, they have a higher
degree of shock resistance and smaller sensitive lengths are possible. This should be taken into
account when planning a measuring point.
Barring the facts previously mentioned, when planning a measuring point it should be taken into
account that vibration often occurs in pipelines. These vibrations are often transferred to the
temperature sensor (e.g. behind pumps). The same is true for measuring points on machines
with rotating parts.
3.4 Transport
INFORMATION!
Inspect the cartons carefully for damage or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the
carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer.
INFORMATION!
Check the packing list to check if you received completely all that you ordered.
INFORMATION!
Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.
CAUTION!
The measuring inserts must be stored in a dry place, protected from dust.
CAUTION!
The permissible storage temperatures for standard devices are -40...+80°C / -40...+176°F and
-20...+55 °C / -4...+131°F for the version with ATEX approval (pending).
CAUTION!
When possible, transport the device in its original packaging. The information that applies to
storage also applies to transport.
