Resistance characteristics of passive temperature sensors (see last page)
In order to avoid damages  ⁄ errors, preferably shielded cables are to be used. 
Laying measuring cables parallel with current-carrying cables must in any case be avoided. EMC directives shall be observed! 
These instruments must be installed by authorised specialists only!
ATTENTION,  NOTE !
Testing current influences the thermometer‘s measuring accuracy 
due to intrinsic heating and therefore, should never be greater than  
as specified below:
Standard values for testing current:
Sensor current, maximum ................................................................. I

Devices are to be connected under dead-voltage condition. Devices 
must only be connected to safety extra-low voltage. Consequential 
damages caused by a fault in this device are excluded from war-
ranty or liability. Installation of these devices must only be realized 
by authorized qualified personnel. The technical data and connect-
ing conditions shown on the device labels and in the mounting 
and operating instructions delivered together with the device are 
exclusively valid. Deviations from the catalogue representation are 
not explicitly mentioned and are possible in terms of technical pro-
gress and continuous improvement of our products. In case of any 
modifications made by the user, all warranty claims are forfeited. 
Operating this device close to other devices that do not comply with 
EMC directives may influence functionality. This device must not be 
used for monitoring applications, which solely serve the purpose of 
protecting persons against hazards or injury, or as an EMERGENCY 
STOP switch for systems or machinery, or for any other similar 
safety-relevant purposes.
Dimensions of enclosures or enclosure accessories may show slight 
tolerances on the specifications provided in these instructions. 
Modifications of these records are not permitted. 
In case of a complaint, only complete devices returned in original 
packing will be accepted. 
Notes regarding mechanical mounting and attachment:
Mounting shall take place while observing all relevant regulations 
and standards applicable for the place of measurement (e.g. such 
as welding instructions, etc.). Particularly the following shall be 
regarded:
–  VDE ⁄ VDI  directive  technical  temperature  measurements,   
measurement set - up for temperature measurements.
– The EMC directives must be adhered to. 
– It is imperative to avoid parallel laying of current-carrying lines.
– We recommend to use shielded cables with  
the shielding being attached at one side to the DDC  ⁄  PLC.
Before mounting, make sure that the existing thermometer‘s techni-
cal parameters comply with the actual conditions at the place of 
 utilization, in particular in respect of:
– Measuring range 
– Permissible maximum pressure, flow velocity 
– Installation length, tube dimensions
– Oscillations, vibrations, shocks are to be avoided (< 0.5 g)
Attention! In any case, please observe the mechanical and thermal 
load limits of protective tubes according to DIN 43763 respectively 
according to specific S+S standards!
