Considerations for Choosing the PT100 Smart Temperature Sensor

When selecting the PT100 Smart Temperature Sensor, there are several key factors to consider to ensure the sensor meets the needs of specific applications.

Determine the Temperature Range for 4-20mA Output

An important feature of the PT100 sensor is its analog output, typically 4-20mA. This output is associated with a specific temperature range, pre-set during the production process based on customer requirements. For example, in the model “TB-18MN-APN6D-SC(0-100℃)”, 0-100℃ represents the temperature range corresponding to the 4-20mA output of this sensor.

Choose the Appropriate Temperature Range

When purchasing, it's crucial to determine the temperature range corresponding to the 4-20mA output you need. This range should match your specific application requirements. Once customized in production, this temperature range cannot be modified by the user.

Default Temperature Range

If not specifically stated in the product description, the default 4-20mA output temperature range of the PT100 sensor is usually -50 to 500℃. This default range is suitable for most general applications, but if your application has special requirements, it should be confirmed before purchase.

In addition to the temperature range, consider the following:
 

• Sensor Installation and Size: Ensure the selected sensor's size and installation method are suitable for your application environment.
• Probe Length Customization: Different applications may require probes of different lengths, which should be considered when choosing.
• Environmental Adaptability: Choose appropriate materials and protection levels based on the usage environment to ensure the sensor's durability and reliability.

By comprehensively considering factors such as the temperature range corresponding to the PT100 Smart Temperature Sensor’s 4-20mA output, installation requirements, probe length, and environmental adaptability, users can ensure they select the most suitable product for their application needs. The correct selection not only affects the performance of the sensor but also directly impacts the efficiency and reliability of the entire system. With its high accuracy, stability, and customization advantages, the PT100 Smart Temperature Sensor has become an important tool in the fields of industrial control and monitoring.
