PT1000 Temperature Sensor 0.5m Thermal Resistance -40°C to +200°C

Description

Technical Description

The PT1000 probe is a resistive temperature sensor in copper with impedance varying with temperature. It is suitable for measuring temperatures between -40°C and +200°C. The probe comes with a 0.5 meter connection cable. The PT1000 thermal resistance is used in heating, cooling, and environmental monitoring projects.

To use the probe, it must be connected to a pull-up circuit with a 10kΩ resistor. The probe should be connected to an analog input of a microcontroller like Arduino. Reading the temperature requires software that converts the measured resistance into degrees Celsius.

During installation, it is important to verify that the pull-up circuit is correct and that the probe is not directly connected to VCC without the pull-up resistor.
