DESCRIPTION
The RTD3CS and RTD10CS are three-wire platinum RTD
(resistance temperature detectors) typically used with monitoring
and control systems, such as our DigiTrace 910 controller, when
accurate temperature control is required.
The RTD3CS and RTD10CS can be installed directly to the
controller using the supplied ½ inch conduit fitting or to an RTD
junction box where RTD extension wire is used.
