The PT-104A is a four-channel,
high-resolution temperature data
acquisition module for use with
PT100 and PT1000 RTD sensors.
It can also be used to measure
resistance (375 Ω and 10,000 Ω
ranges) and voltage (115 mV or
2.5V ranges). In PT100/PT1000/
resistance mode, the unit uses a
four wire circuit. In voltage mode, the
input connector can be treated as a
differential input with ground, or two
single-ended inputs. Both inputs must
be 0V or above, though it does not
matter which input has the higher
voltage. For the 115 mV voltage
range, the accuracy may vary by 2%,
and the temperature coefficient will
be 100 ppm/°C.
Comes complete with 4 mating mini DIN screw terminal connectors, USB cable, ethernet patch cable, and Windowssoftware.

Although accurate temperature
sensors are widely available, it has
been difficult to take advantage of
them due to errors caused by the
measuring device. The PT-104A,
however, is designed to be inherently
accurate. Rather than relying on
voltage references (which tend to be
temperature sensitive) it uses
reference’ resistors which are
extremely stable (low temperature
coefficient and drift). The exact value
of each resistor is stored in an
EEPROM to provide the ultimate in
accuracy (yearly re-calibration is
recommended). To achieve the
0.001°C resolution a highly-advanced
ADC is used that can resolve to better
than 1 part in 16 million.

Temperature
The PT-104A measures temperature
using platinum resistance
temperature sensors (RTDs). Both
common industry standards (PT100
and PT1000) are supported. The
unit is compatible with 2, 3 and 4 wire
sensors (4 wire PT100 sensors are
recommended for accurate
measurements).
Resistance
When measuring resistance, the unit
uses a four-wire circuit to give the
greatest possible accuracy.
Two resistance ranges are available
(0 to 375
The unit is calibrated for 0 to 375
Ω and 0 to 10,000 Ω).
Ω
so this range should be used for
accurate measurements.
Voltage
For voltage measurements, each
input connector can be treated as
a differential input with ground, or two
single-ended inputs.
Both inputs must be zero volts or
above, though it does not matter
which input has the higher voltage.
Two voltage ranges are available
(0 to 115 mV and 0 to 2500 mV).
For the most accurate measurements
use the 0 to 2500 mV range.

Remote Data Collection
The new USB/Ethernet interface
allows the logger to be used in a
variety of situations: USB-only, USBpowered with Ethernet data, and
Ethernet data with Power-overEthernet (PoE). Using the Ethernet
interface, the PT-104A can be located
anywhere on a LAN or on the internet.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The PT-104A can obtain its power
from the Ethernet port as a Powered
Device (PD) according to the PoE
standard. To use this feature, you must
connect the unit to Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) such as a network
switch, router or power injector that
also supports the PoE standard. Any
standard Ethernet cable up to 100 m
(about 328') in length can be used.
Software
The PT-104A is supplied with
Windows Logging and Player
Software. The software will
automatically detect which sensor is
connected and will display readings
in the correct units. Also supplied is
a software development kit (SDK).
The SDK contains a range of
software drivers and example code
that you can use to write your own
software or to use your PT-104A
data logger with third party software.
With the included Logging Software
you can set the sampling interval
from 1 second to several hours and
set the maximum number of
readings. You can also tell the
PT-104A data acquisition module
what do to when the temperature
readings have been taken—either:
stop; repeat immediately (start
again); scroll (oldest recordings
disappear); or repeat after delay
(where the delay is set by the user)
Multiple PT-104A modules can
be used simultaneously with the
logging software. Also, PT-104A
modules can be mixed with TC-08
thermocouple input modules and
used at the same time. Up to 20
units of any kind (PT-104A or
TC-08) can be connected.
Using the PT-104A logging
software, data can be viewed in a
spreadsheet and/or in a graph as
it is being recorded. Data collected
from previous recordings can also
be viewed using the Player.
