SPECIAL CASE -- ALTERED SENSOR CABLE LENGTH
(only for sensors with PT 1000 temperature element*)
Changing the standard 20 ft. (6 m) sensor cable length, by
shortening it or adding an interconnect cable, affects temperature
measuring accuracy. The GLI-certified T FACTOR is based on
standard cable length. To compensate for altered cable length
measuring error, change the certified T FACTOR entry:
•
Shortened Sensor Cable: To increase the analyzer temperature
reading to match the known solution temperature, decrease the
T FACTOR by 3.85 ohms for each
°
C difference.
•
Added Interconnect Cable: To decrease the analyzer tempera-
ture reading to match the known solution temperature, increase
the T FACTOR by 3.85 ohms for each
°
C difference.
Example:
Suppose the known solution temperature is 50
°
C
and the analyzer reads 53
°
C due to interconnect cable resis-
tance. Multiply the 3
°
C difference by 3.85 ohms to get 11.55.
Then increase the sensor T FACTOR by adding 11.55 to it and
entering that value. If, due to a shortened sensor cable, the
analyzer was reading 3
°
C less than the known solution tem-
perature you would decrease the sensor T FACTOR by
subtracting 11.55 from it.
*Sensors with a PT 100 temperature element provide inherently
less accurate temperature readings and are not recommended.
