2 Introduction 2 2.1 Introduction General The Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRT) model 5623A is designed to be a secondary standard interpolating instrument converting temperature to resistance. The 5623A assembly design allows for exposure to very cold temperature (–200°C) and is an ideal reference for verification, monitoring or calibrating control sensors in located in freezers or incubators. The 5623A may also be used as a temperature standard for calibration of industrial sensors.
3 Specifications and Warranty 3 3.1 Specifications and Warranty Specifications See Table 2. Table 2 Specifications 3.2 Temperature Range –200°C to 156°C Entire Assembly Range –200°C to 156°C Accuracy (Includes calibration uncertainty and short-term stability) ±0.05°C (full range) Long-term Drift (°C) <±0.01 at 0°C per year, when used periodically at 200 Hysteresis (°C) <0.01 Temperature Coefficient 0.003925 ohms/ohms/°C Size (O.D.) 0.25" (6.35 mm) Sheath Length 6" (152.
3 Specifications and Warranty To exercise this warranty, the purchaser must forward the product after calling or writing an Authorized Hart Scientific Service Center (see Section 1.3 on page 3) for authorization. The Service Center assumes NO risk for in-transit damage. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE.
4 Installation 4 4.1 Installation Lead Wire Identification The 5623A PRT is equipped with a four-wire cable (see Figure 1). Four lead wires are used to cancel lead wire resistance. For best results, the readout device should be equipped to handle four-terminal resistors. White Red White Red Figure 1 PRT Schematic The lead wires are two different colors. Lead wire pairs attached to each end of the sensor are identified by red and white insulation.
5 PRT Care and Handling Guidelines 5 5.1 PRT Care and Handling Guidelines PRT Care CAUTION: READ THIS SECTION BEFORE REMOVING THE PRT FROM THE SHIPPING BOX OR CASE Care must be taken in handling the PRT to maintain calibration accuracy. Care should still be used when handling the PRT even though the Inconel sheath is durable and provides good protection for the sensor. Correct handling of the PRT will prolong the life expectancy.
5 PRT Care and Handling Guidelines • DO NOT screw a clamp down so tight that it dents the sheath. This can permanently damage the PRT.
6 Operation 6 6.1 Operation General For best results, be familiar with the operation of the heat source and the read-out instrument. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the read-out instrument and the heat source. 6.2 Immersion Requirements Stem effect can cause measurement errors for any thermometer not immersed in the fluid at least 114 mm (4.5 inches). This error is due to heat lost or gained by the sensing element through the thermometer stem.
7 Troubleshooting 7 7.1 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting In the event that the probe appears to function abnormally, this section may be of use in solving the problem. Several possible problem conditions are described along with likely causes and solutions. If a problem arises, please read this section carefully and attempt to understand and solve the problem. If the probe seems faulty or the problem cannot otherwise be solved, contact an Authorized Hart Scientific Service Center (see Section 1.
