General Description

The 107ALUM Temperature Probe uses a thermistor to measure temperature. Custom lead lengths are available up to 1000 ft.

The 107ALUM Temperature Probe is designed for mounting into a CS205 Fuel Moisture Stick.

Specifications

Operating Range
Temperature Measurement Range: -35°C to +50°C
Thermistor Interchangeability Error: Typically <±0.2°C over 0°C to 60°C; ±0.4 @ -35°C.
Temperature Survival Range: -50°C to +100°C
Polynomial Linearization Error: <±0.5°C over -35°C to +50°C.
Time Constant In Air: 200 ± 10 seconds

NOTE: The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes, moisture, and UV degradation. However, this jacket will support combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.

Accuracy
The overall probe accuracy is a combination of the thermistor's interchangeability specification, the precision of the bridge resistors, and the polynomial error. In a "worst case" all errors add to an accuracy of ±0.4°C over the range of -24° to 48°C and ±0.9°C over the range of -38°C to 53°C. The major error component is the interchangeability specification of the thermistor, tabulated in Table 2-1. For the range of 0° to 50°C the interchangeability error is predominantly offset and can be determined with a single point calibration. Compensation can then be done with an offset entered in the measurement instruction. The bridge resistors are 0.1% tolerance with a 10 ppm temperature coefficient. Polynomial errors are tabulated in Table 2-2.
