Replaces: Issue 2001-04-27

1 Area of application
Resistance thermometers are used to regulate the temperature in hydraulic systems.

2 Description
The resistance thermometer quickly and precisely senses the temperature (± 0.8 °C) and converts it into an
analogue signal 4 to 20 mA. This signal can be converted in the system control to any number of limiting
values.
