Have you ever wondered how a temperature sensor really works?

What does the RTD mean and why is 1,000 ohms resistance so important.

In this week's Friday Fan Answers I discuss a question from Nick.

Nick asks "Can you cover or explain the technical reasons for a 1000 ohm RTD sensor to suddenly begin to fluctuate drastically"

Sure thing Nick!

In this episode you will learn:

  • The best way to wire up a temperature sensor
  • Why vibration can lead to huge temperature issues
  • What this whole 1,000 ohms thing is about
  • How often and how to calibrate your temperature sensors
