PT510 and PT520 Platinum RTD Temperature Sensors

Connects directly to any XR5 Data Logger input channel, no external power required.  Up to eight PT510 / PT520 Sensors may be connected to one XR5 Data Logger.

RTD Temperature Probe for XR440 Data Logger

Pace PT510 and PT520 Sensors consist of a thin-film 10,000 ohm platinum element encased in a high-temperature laminate.  The PT510 includes a pressure sensitive "peel and stick" adhesive backing.

Please Note: Standard 100, 200 and 1000 ohm RTDs do not work with the XR5 Data Logger.

(5mm x 15mm x 2mm max.)

Price: PT520 $58.
Price: PT510 $39.

PT510 / PT520 Extension Cable

If longer leads are required, you can easily splice extension cable to the PT510 or PT520.  We recommend using copper 24 gauge two-conductor stranded cable for cable extensions of up to 150 ft. (45 meters). For longer extensions, use 22 gauge two-conductor stranded cable. Acceptable methods of splicing sensor leads to extension cable include small wire nuts, crimp connectors, hand twisting and taping, or solder. For cable runs longer than 20 feet, we recommend using shielded cable (Belden 9501 or equivalent).
