Platinum Sensors

Temperature Feedback to the Heater Control Circuit

Materials of Construction
Platinum wire wrapped around a glass rod or ceramic wafer VERY FRAGILE! Also known as Resistive Thermal Device Industry Standard at 100 Ohms @ 0 C

Testing

Voltmeter Reading ( Static Test ) Can become intermittent at higher temperatures Must use a satisfactory resistance as a substitute too low a resistance or too higher causes: OVER COL OVER INJ OVER DET OVER AUX OVER TCD

Heater Control Circuits


Analog or Digital ( CPU ) Heater Control circuits look at the resistance of Pt Sensors to decide on Heater Demand Heater Control Circuits can ONLY see a Pt Sensor
