1. Einleitung
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of the TRU COMPONENTS TC-9779552 PT100 Temperature Sensor. The TC-9779552 is a durable and robust PT100 resistance sensor designed for precise temperature measurement within a range of -50°C to +200°C. PT100 sensors are particularly favored over thermocouples at lower temperatures due to their superior accuracy.
2. Sicherheitshinweise
Please read all safety instructions carefully before installing or operating the device. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.
- Ensure the sensor is used within its specified temperature range (-50°C to +200°C).
- Do not expose the sensor to corrosive substances unless specifically designed for such environments.
- Handle the sensor carefully to avoid physical damage to the probe or cable.
- All electrical connections should be made by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical codes.
- Vor dem Herstellen von Verbindungen oder der Durchführung von Wartungsarbeiten die Stromzufuhr unterbrechen.
3. Produktüberschreitungview
The TRU COMPONENTS TC-9779552 PT100 Temperature Sensor consists of a PT100 resistance element housed within a protective metal probe, connected to a durable cable with exposed wire ends for connection to a measurement system.

4. Einrichtung
The TC-9779552 PT100 sensor requires connection to a compatible temperature measurement device, such as a PLC, temperature controller, or data acquisition system, that supports PT100 inputs.
4.1 Verdrahtungsanweisungen
The PT100 sensor typically uses a 3-wire or 4-wire configuration for accurate resistance measurement, compensating for lead wire resistance. Refer to the documentation of your measurement device for specific wiring diagrams.
- Identify the three (or four) wires extending from the sensor cable. Typically, two wires are for one side of the resistance element, and the third (and fourth) is for the other side, used for lead compensation.
- Connect the sensor wires to the appropriate terminals on your measurement device. Ensure correct polarity and connection type (e.g., 3-wire RTD input).
- Secure all connections to prevent accidental disconnection or short circuits.
4.2 Installation
Install the sensor probe in the environment where temperature measurement is required. Ensure good thermal contact between the sensor tip and the medium being measured for accurate readings.
- Mount the sensor securely to prevent movement or damage.
- Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the probe connection, to prevent internal wire damage.
- Protect the cable from abrasion, high temperatures, and chemical exposure if not rated for such conditions.
5. Betrieb
Once properly installed and connected to a compatible measurement device, the PT100 sensor will provide a resistance output that correlates to temperature. Your measurement device will convert this resistance into a temperature reading.
- Power on your measurement device.
- Verify that the device recognizes the PT100 sensor and displays a temperature reading.
- Monitor the temperature readings as required by your application.
- Ensure the operating environment remains within the sensor's specified temperature range.
6. Wartung
The TRU COMPONENTS TC-9779552 PT100 Temperature Sensor is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure its longevity and accuracy.
- Reinigung: If the sensor probe becomes dirty, gently clean it with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the probe or cable insulation.
- Inspektion: Periodically inspect the sensor cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Check the probe for any deformation or corrosion.
- Verbindungen: Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle elektrischen Verbindungen fest sitzen und frei von Korrosion sind.
- Kalibrierung: While PT100 sensors are generally stable, periodic calibration checks against a known reference temperature can confirm accuracy, especially in critical applications.
7. Fehlerbehebung
If you encounter issues with your PT100 temperature sensor, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| No temperature reading or erratic readings. | Incorrect wiring, loose connections, damaged cable/probe, incompatible measurement device. | Check all wiring connections against the device's manual. Ensure connections are secure. Inspect the cable and probe for visible damage. Verify the measurement device supports PT100 sensors. |
| Temperature reading is consistently off. | Sensor not properly calibrated, poor thermal contact, environmental interference. | Perform a calibration check if possible. Ensure the sensor tip has good contact with the medium. Shield the cable from strong electromagnetic fields if applicable. |
| Sensor reading stuck at a fixed value. | Open circuit in the sensor or cable. | Check continuity of the sensor wires with a multimeter. If open, the sensor may be damaged and require replacement. |
