Technical Features
- The digital ALMEMO® D7 precision measuring connector becomes a reference sensor with highest accuracy when used with a suitable Pt100 sensor.
- The digital ALMEMO® D7 precision measuring connector uses its own integrated A/D converter. It provides a highest resolution of 0.001 K across the entire measuring range up to 400 °C.
- Linearization of the Pt100 characteristic curve in the measuring connector is calculated in compliance with DIN IEC 751 (not an approximation).
- The overall accuracy of the measuring operation is unaffected by the presence of an ALMEMO® V7 display device / data logger. The whole measuring chain, comprising e.g. a Pt100 sensor and the connected ALMEMO® D7 measuring connector, can be calibrated end-to-end. Calibration can be performed with greater accuracy by subjecting the temperature sensor to a process of multi-point adjustment.
- The measuring rate is determined entirely and exclusively by the integrated A/D converter. On the ALMEMO® V7 measuring instrument all D7 measuring connectors operate in parallel at their own measuring rate. The measuring instrument‘s very short scan cycle is determined by the measuring rates of the D7
measuring connectors – irrespective of their number. - Sensor identification can be programmed with designations up to 20 characters in length.
Suitable Sensors
Note on suitable sensors:
The sensor determines the accuracy, stability, hysteresis and long-term stability of the measuring chain consisting of sensor and digital connector. For the sensor, the following must be taken into account:
- The type of Pt100 sensor element determines, among other things, the achievable measurement uncertainty / stability.
- The design (sensor diameter, installation of the sensor element, powdered or with thermal paste) influences the self heating and the hysteresis for the measurement uncertainty.
The self-heating must be included in the measurement uncertainty: If the self-heating is NOT known for the sensor design at hand, a lump sum must be charged.
Example: For a sufficiently long sheath element, an amount of 17 mK is recommended. In comparison: For the Ahlborn precision probe FPA923/FPD723 the self-heating was determined and is included in the measurement uncertainty with typ. 2 mK. The hysteresis must be described in addition to the measurement uncertainty:
If the hysteresis is not determined, a lump sum of up to 0.2 % of the span is recommended in international regulations.
Example: Calibration range 0 to 400 °C, hysteresis lump sum up to 0.8 K or calibration range 0 to 100 °C up to 0.2 K (200 mK).
