4. Design and Function
4.1 Overview
The CTR3000 is a high accuracy instrument designed for laboratory and industrial temperature
measurement and calibration applications.
Features include:
• unique dual capability for both thermocouple and resistance thermometer
measurements;
• number of input channel can be expanded from four to forty-four channels;
• large graphic touchscreen for temperature measurement values as well as
configuration settings and statistical results;
• advanced functions include differential measurement, programmable scanning
routines, programmable timer, data logging, statistical reporting;
• USB and Ethernet (RS232 as an option) communication interfaces available for
automated monitoring and calibration applications;
The CTR3000 will operate with all 3 and 4-wire Pt100 (100 Ohm) platinum resistance thermometers
as well as most standard international thermocouple types. Temperature measurement units are
selectable by front panel operation; °C, °F, K. Base measurement units mV,Ω are also displayed.
Resistance accuracy is better than ±2mΩequivalent to temperature measurement precision of
±5mK for Pt100 thermometers.
Standard miniature sockets allow convenient connection for thermocouple inputs. Connection
sockets incorporate integral temperature compensation sensors making high accuracy
thermocouple measurement possible without the use of an external reference junction.

4.2Principles of measurement
4.2.1 PRT measurement
The CTR3000 measures the voltage (Vt) developed across the unknown sensor resistance (Rt) and
the voltage (Vs) across a stable internal reference resistance (Rs) connected in series and passing
the same current. The voltages are in proportion to the resistances so the thermometer resistance is
derived from: Rt = Rs x Vt / Vs This technique achieves immunity from slow moving time and
temperature drift in the electronics as it is not affected by voltage measurement gain variations or
current source fluctuations.
In the same way that AC resistance measurement eliminates thermal EMFs, switched DC achieves
a similar advantage. Switched DC works by reversing the current flow on alternate measurement
cycles and taking the average value, thereby cancelling any thermal EMF offsets from the
measurement.
For PRTs, the relationship between resistance and temperature varies slightly from one PRT to
another. Therefore, no matter how accurately the CTR3000 measures the PRT resistance, if the
relationship between resistance and temperature for a particular PRT is not known, accurate
temperature measurement is not possible.
The CTR3000 uses PRT calibration data to overcome this problem and calculates temperature from
temperature conversion functions stored in internal memory. This method enables the CTR3000
accurately to convert resistance to temperature, uniquely for each PRT used. It is very important
therefore that a PRT is used on the correct and properly configured input channel.
4.2.2 Thermocouple measurement
As well as the PRT resistance measurement facility the CTR3000 also functions as a precision
millivolt-meter. Designed for high accuracy measurement over the EMF voltage range of all
standard base and precious metal thermocouples, the CTR3000 achieves a basic voltage accuracy
of better than ±0,004 % + 2 μV over the full measurement range.
Thermocouple EMFs are converted to temperature using the EN60584 linearization functions.
The voltage input connection is specially designed to minimise the thermal gradient between the
terminals. This is particularly important when the internal reference junction compensation is used,
as any temperature difference at the connection junction will influence the measurement result.
The electrical connection between the thermocouple element and the CTR3000 input connector is
often referred to as the internal reference junction. All standard thermocouple reference functions
are defined relative to 0°C. To eliminate the physical need to reproduce this temperature inside the
CTR3000, the actual connection temperature is accurately measured with an internal PRT. This
temperature is converted to an equivalent EMF and added to the actual thermocouple voltage
measurement, thereby correcting for the connection temperature.
For high precision thermocouple measurement applications, i.e. calibration, an external reference
junction may be used. Using an external reference junction eliminates the uncertainties associated
with reference junction compensation.

4.3.2 Warm up time
It is recommended that the CTR3000 be warmed up before use to stabilize the environmentally
controlled components. This will ensure the best performance to the specifications. We recommend
1
a warm up time of 1 hour for full accuracy specifications.

The internal cold junction compensation needs up to 2 hours for performing best.

4.3.4 Thermometer inputs
4.3.4.1 Resistance thermometers
The CTR3000 has two resistance thermometer and two thermocouple input channels, the input
sockets are located on the instruments front panel.
PRTs are connected via the 5 pin DIN sockets. You may connect 2, 3, or 4 wire PRTs as shown
below. Un-terminated platinum resistance thermometers may be connected through an optional
adapter box which is available as an accessory, (CTA5000-ADAP5-Z).
Options - with DIN plug or SMART plug
With the SMART connector on the probes, storing the
data is needed only once - in the connector! The
calibration data stays with the probe - permanently. It can
even be used on another instrument without any further
action.
The SMART connector saves time and reduces error. If there are existing calibrated or uncalibrated
probes, no problem, CTR3000 automatically registers if a probe is SMART or normal.

Thermocouples may be directly connected to the CTR3000 at the standard miniature sockets.
These sockets are within a temperature compensated isothermal block which eliminates the need
for an external ice point reference junction. However, the CTR3000 may also be used with an
external ice point reference for high precision measurement and calibration work.
