USER GUIDE

SCC-RTD01 Resistance 
Temperature Detector

The SCC-RTD01 resistance temperature detector (RTD) input module 
accepts up to two RTD input signals from 2-, 3-, or 4-wire RTDs. Each 
module consists of two RTD input channels, a 30 Hz Butterworth lowpass 
filter for each channel, and a 1 mA excitation current source. Each input 
channel includes an instrumentation amplifier with differential inputs and 
a fixed gain of 25.

The SCC-RTD01 filters RTD inputs and passes them through a differential 
amplifier with a fixed gain of 25 resulting in a maximum input voltage of 
400 mVDC. The output of the amplifier passes through a three-pole, 30 Hz 
Butterworth lowpass filter. The SCC-RTD01 provides a 1 mA excitation 
current source for RTDs.
