MODEL 41342
PLATINUM TEMPERATURE PROBE
INSTRUCTION SHEET 41342-90
REV: C111215
INTRODUCTION
The Model 41342 Platinum Temperature Probe is an accurate 1000
ohm Platinum temperature sensor mounted in a weatherproof junction
box. The sensor output uses a 4 wire RTD configuration. The probe
is designed for easy installation in YOUNG Multi-plate and Aspirated
Radiation Shields.
INSTALLATION
For accurate measurements, the temperature probe should be installed
in a protective radiation shield. Use of the probe without a radiation
shield may result in large errors. YOUNG naturally ventilated or motor
aspirated shields are recommended. For best performance, the probe
and shield should be placed in a location with good air circulation clear
of large masses (buildings, pavement, solar panels...), Exhaust vents,
electrical machinery, motors, water fountains and sprinklers.
NOTE:
The terminal marked "EARTH GND" should be connected to
properly grounded tower, or grounding conductor, as close to the sensor
as possible. Failure to do so may result in damage due to static discharge.
MAINTENANCE
The temperature probe is designed to offer years of service with minimal
maintenance. If necessary, the probe may be periodically checked or
recalibrated using normal bath calibration methods. NIST traceable
calibration is available from YOUNG at nominal cost.
