43347 RTD Temperature Probe, 43502 and 41003-5 Radiation Shields
The 43347-IX is measured with the Resistance measurement instruction with
the CR3000 and CR5000 dataloggers. The Resistance measurement applies a
switched current excitation and measures the voltage across the 1000 ohm
RTD. The result, with a multiplier of 1 and an offset of 0, is the RTD
resistance in ohms. The measurement result is converted to temperature with
the PRT instruction for uncalibrated probes, or with a polynomial equation for
calibrated probes. Calibrated probes include a calibration certificate with the
polynomial coefficients.
The Resistance and PRT Instructions with their parameters are listed below:
Resistance(Dest, Reps, Range, DiffChan, IexChan, MeasPEx, EXuA, RevEx,
RevDiff, SettlingTime, Integ, Mult, Offset)
PRT(Dest, Reps, Source, Mult, Offset)
TABLE 6-2 shows the sensor wiring for the measurement examples.

6.2.1 Datalogger Programming for Calibrated 43347–IX Probes
Calibrated 43347-IX probes are provided with a calibration certificate that
gives the relationship of resistance to temperature as Equation “T”, as shown in
the example below:
T = -250.052585 + R x 2.375187E-1 + R
2
x 1.258482E-5
The measurement result of the Resistance instruction (ohms) is converted to
temperature with a polynomial equation and the coefficients from equation
“T”, as shown below.
The following example program measures a calibrated 43347-IX probe every 1
second and stores a 15 minute average temperature in degrees Celsius.
