Model 10A16-4C
Quad Platinum RTD Conditioner Card


Input Type Description SPS6000 SPS8000 System 10
Temperature Quad Platinum RTD
X-X
X*X
X*X


This conditioner is for high-accuracy temperature measurement using platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD's), either DIN (European) or American standard. Precision constant-current excitation is provided for four independent sensor channels, which may be intermixed as required. RTD inputs are normally set for four-wire cabling, with maximum excitation of one milliampere and input impedance of 10 megohms, to eliminate common self-heating and cable-loading errors. However, for an RTD channel with shared current return and sense signals, three-wire mode is available, if desired, via an internal jumper setting.

Calibration of the 10A16-4C may be either
  • "absolute" for RTD's of DIN standard (only), or
  • "two-point" (i.e., "zero and span"), when independently and accurately known temperature references are available- preferably the high and low extremes to which the sensor will be subjected.
Specifications:
  • RTD Types: Platinum; DIN (European) standard with "ice-point" resistance of 50, 100, or 200 ohm, or American standard with "ice-point" resistance of 100 ohm
  • Range and Resolution: See Table below; automatically selected- on an individual channel basis- when the channel is configured
  • Linearization: Internal digital linearization; maximum error: ±0.1° C (±0.2° F), System 10 and SPS8000
  • Excitation (per channel): Nominal 5 V-DC; 1 mA, maximum
  • Amplifier (per channel):
      Input Impedance (Differential): 10 M-ohm
      Offset: Initial: ±0.1 mV; vs. Temperature: ±0.5 µV/°C; vs. Time: ±5 µV/month
      Gain Accuracy: ±0.02% of full scale
      Gain Stability: vs. Temperature: ±25 ppm/°C; vs. Time: ±20 ppm/month
  • Filter (per channel): 3-pole modified Butterworth; 3 dB down at 2 Hz; 60 dB down at 25 Hz
      Step-Response Settling Time (Full-Scale Output):
      To 1% of final value: 0.6 sec
      To 0.1% of final value: 0.8 sec
      To 0.02% of final value: 1.5 sec
  • Total System Accuracy (typical, including Model 10A16-4C and system data collection and processing): see Table below
  • Auxiliary Outputs: Filtered outputs available on wire-wrap pins
