Operating instructions and maintenance.
Mounting : resistance thermometer assemblies must be installed in such a depth that the heat transfer
along the assembly is kept to a minimum of 6-15 times the external diameter of the stem. Where only a short
depth of immersion is possible, at least 1-1,5 times the length of the resistance element winding should be
immersed ( i.e. 45 / 70mm. )

Copper connection leads only are required.
Special care should be taken on installation to minimize contact resistance in order to avoid perturbations of
the measurement.
The connecting cables should not run near power lines to avoid electrical or magnetic perturbations that can
increase the measuring tolerance.
It is recommended to use shielded and twisted connecting cables.
Maintenance : the resistance thermometer stems must be inspected to assess the level of erosion, corro-
sion or any other possible damage of the protecting tube. In case of stainless tube immersed in non corro-
sive fluids the inspection can be made every 2 years.
To verify the correct functioning, periodically check the sensor by connecting it to a calibrated display suit-
able for PT 100 input and by comparing the temperature values shown by the display to the ones indicated
by a calibrated instrument immersed in the same fluid of the resistance thermometer.
Periodically open the resistance thermometer‘s head to check that no water or dew is inside and that
the terminals are not damaged by corrosion.
