IMPORTANT
Using Table 1.2 to Calculate Module Accuracy:
For example, when you are using any platinum (385)
RTDs with 0.5 mA excitation current, the module’s
accuracy is:
• ±0.5°C (0.9°F) after you apply power to the
module or perform an autocalibration at 25°C
(77°F) ambient, with module operating
temperature at 25°C (77°F).
• ±[0.5°C (0.9°F) ± DT x 0.026 deg./°C
(0.026 deg./°F)] after you apply power to the
module or perform an autocalibration at 25°C
(77°F) ambient, with module operating
temperature between 0 (32°F) and 55°C (131°F).
DT is the temperature difference between the
actual module operating temperature and 25°C
(77°F). The value 0.026 deg./°C (0.026 deg./°F) is
the temperature drift shown in the table above.
• ±0.9°C after you apply power to the module or
perform an autocalibration at 55°C (131°F)
ambient, with module operating temperature at
55°C (131°F).
