MPS-RTD-01-00

The MPS-RTD-01-00 is an accessory used in the micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) family of sensors. It is a RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensor and is equipped with an integrated reference electronics.

The MPS-RTD-01-00 is used mainly for temperature sensing applications. It can measure a wide range of temperatures, from -50°C to +350°C, with a large degree of accuracy (0.1°C). It can also display temperature readings to a helpful 4 digit display.

The working principle of the MPS-RTD-01-00 is that it is based on the fact that the resistance of a metal conductor changes with temperature. This change is relatively linear and predictable, allowing an electrical signal to be mapped to a temperature reading. Essentially, the RTD uses the resistance of a thin metal wire to measure temperatures.

The way the RTD works is that a tiny, thin wire is heated inside the RTD. As it is heated, the resistance of the wire changes, which is measured by the RTD’s electronics. This resistance change is then mapped in a lookup table to a temperature. This lookup table is created through a calibration process.

The MPS-RTD-01-00 is a versatile accessory and has a wide range of applications. In the medical and food industry, it can be used for temperature measurement in refrigerators, compressors, air conditioning systems, and other thermal regulation systems. In the automotive industry, it can be used to monitor the temperature in engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid. In industrial control, it can be used in processes such as heat treating and molding. In aerospace and military applications, it is used in avionics and astronautics.

The MPS-RTD-01-00 sensor is easy to configure and it is designed to be highly reliable and accurate. It has a built-in reference electronics, which helps to minimize temperature variations when measuring external signals. Additionally, the sensor comes with a 4 digit display to show temperature readings in real time, which helps in monitoring and calibrating the sensor.

In conclusion, the MPS-RTD-01-00 is an ideal accessory for any application that requires precise and reliable temperature measurements. Due to its high accuracy, reliability, and ease of use, it is used in a wide range of applications, from medical and food industry to automotive and industrial control.
