Wiring
For 1k ohm nickel temperature sensors, wire resistance can
cause about 1F° (0.56C°) of error for every 250 ft (76 m) run
of 18 AWG (1.0 mm diameter) wire, or every 100 ft (31 m) run
of 22 AWG (0.6 mm diameter) wire. For 1k ohm platinum
temperature sensors, wire resistance can cause about
1F° (0.56C°) of error for every 150 ft (46 m) run of 18 AWG
(1.0 mm diameter) wire, or every 50 ft (15 m) run of 22 AWG
(0.6 mm diameter) wire. To minimize error due to field wiring,
limit total resistance of all nickel temperature sensor wiring to
3 ohms, and all platinum temperature sensor wiring to
2 ohms.
The 2.2k and 10k ohm thermistor applications permit wiring
to be relatively long before wire resistance adds significantly
to total resistance measured at the controller. As a general
rule, a 150 ft (46 m) two-wire 18 AWG (1.0 mm diameter) run
contributes 2 ohms of error, or less than 1F° (0.56C°) error
over the sensor operating temperature range.
Refer to the appropriate controller documentation for
recommended sensor wiring. Secure the wiring bushing or
conduit only to the temperature sensor base. See Table 1 for
an explanation of the lead wiring color convention
