Model 240 Quick Start Guide
Evaluation Kit
1. Connect the sensor simulator to the desired input
of the 240 Series input module using the pluggable
connector.
2. In MeasureLINK™, choose the correct input.
3. Under Sensor setup, select Standard Curve and pick
Sensor Simulator – NTC from the drop down list.
4. Make any other changes to the input configuration
needed for your application, and then disconnect
from MeasureLINK™.
5. Adjust the dial to change the temperature to
coincide with the markings on the sensor simulator
box.
NOTE:
The accuracy rating of the trimpot is 10%, so the
measured resistance and temperature value may not align
exactly with the markings on the dial. Please do not use the
sensor simulator as a method for verifying accuracy of the
240 Series input module.
The evaluation kit includes
two unique accessories for
the 240 Series input module
that will help simulate a live
sensor connection if one is
not readily available for your
evaluation testing, which
are described below:
Sensor simulator
Fixed resistor board
Sensor simulator
A box containing a trimpot (variable resistor) that is
similar to the Cernox ® temperature range, to be used as
a rough approximation of these sensors. This product
can be useful if you’d like to see how the 240 Series
input module handles communicating and displaying a
particular temperature range, or if you’d like to see how
the 240 Series input module autoranges. Follow these
steps to use the sensor simulator:
