Temperature Sensor
General Information
•
The SG-Link® OEM has an on-board, solid state temperature sensor mounted on
the surface of the circuit board.
•
Specifications for this National Semiconductor Model LM60 sensor may be found
at:
http://www.national.com/mpf/LM/LM60.html
•
The temperature sensor output is presented on channel 3 of the SG-Link®.
•
The temperature sensor has a measurement range of -25˚C to +70˚C range,
accuracy ± 0.5˚C (@25˚ C).
In use with Agile-Link™ software
The SG-Link® OEM temperature sensor outputs 6.25 mV/°C. The Agile-Link™
software uses and any other application should use this formula to calculate temperature:
