Overview
HIGHJOIN WZP series is PT100 temperature sensors, it's widely used in industrial and scientific applications for precise temperature measurement. They are resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) made from pure platinum, which provides excellent stability and accuracy. The sensor operates based on the principle that the resistance of platinum increases with temperature; specifically, a PT100 has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C.
One of the key features of PT100 sensors is their configuration options. They can be configured as 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire sensors:
2-Wire Configuration: This is the simplest form, where two wires connect the sensor to the measurement device. While cost-effective, it is less accurate due to the effects of wire resistance, which can introduce errors in temperature readings.
3-Wire Configuration: This configuration improves accuracy by compensating for the resistance of the lead wires. One of the wires serves as a reference, allowing for a more precise measurement by canceling out the resistance effects of the other wire.
4-Wire Configuration: The most accurate configuration, it uses two pairs of wires. This setup eliminates lead resistance entirely, providing the highest precision, which is essential in critical applications.
PT100 sensors offer high accuracy, typically within ±0.1°C, and excellent linearity over a broad temperature range, from -200°C to 850°C. They are also resistant to harsh environments and can withstand high humidity, making them ideal for various industrial settings.
In summary, PT100 temperature sensors are versatile and reliable options for accurate temperature measurement across diverse applications, balancing cost and performance through different wiring configurations.
