8.1 Measurement details
Understanding the details in this section is not necessary for general operation of the 110PV with
our data loggers.
Simple half bridge measurement, ignoring cable resistance, has a measured voltage, V, of:
V = V
x
(4990/(4990 + R
t
))
Where V
x
is the excitation voltage, 4990 ohms is the resistance of the fixed resistor and R
t
is the
resistance of the thermistor.
The resistance of the thermistor is:
R
t
= 4990((V
x
/V) - 1)
The Steinhart-Hart equation is used to calculate temperature from resistance:
T
C
= 1/(A + B(ln(R
T
)) +C(ln(R
T
))

Where T
C
is the temperature in Celsius. The Steinhart-Hart coefficients used are:
A = 1.129241 x 10
