Troubleshooting RTD Sensors
When troubleshooting a problem with an RTD input it is useful to
check that the sensor and the wiring to the instrument is
operating properly.
The PIE 525Plus automatically detects 2, 3 and 4 wire RTD
connections with a patented circuit. It will also display the
connections on the display and indicate when there is a missing
connection due to a loose connector, corrosion or a broken wire.
Here is an example of the 525Plus reading a
sensor with all 4 wires connected.
Here is an example where connections are
made to a 4 wire sensor and the PIE 525Plus
indicates that only Wires 1, 2 & 4 are connected.
There may be a loose connection or a break in
wire 3 somewhere between the sensor and the
525Plus.
