Young 41342V User Manual

MODEL 41342VC/VF

PLATINUM TEMPERATURE PROBE 0-1V Output

INTRODUCTION

The Model 41342VC/VF Platinum Temperature Probe is an accurate
1000 ohm Platinum RTD temperature sensor and low power voltage
interface circuit mounted in a weatherproof junction box. The probe is
available in Celsius or Fahrenheit calibration. Output signal is 0-1 VDC
full scale. The probe is designed for easy installation in YOUNG Multi­plate and Aspirated Radiation Shields.

INSTALLATION

For accurate measurements, the temperature probe should be installed
in a protective radiation shield. Use of the probe without a radiation
shield may result in large errors due to solar heating. For best
performance, the probe and shield should be placed in a location with
good air circulation clear of large masses (buildings, pavement, solar
panels...), exhaust vents, electrical machinery, motors, water fountains
and sprinklers.

MAINTENANCE

The temperature probe is designed to offer years of service with minimal
maintenance. Temperature calibration should be accurate for the life of
the probe. If necessary, the probe may be periodically checked or
recalibrated using normal bath calibration methods. NIST traceable
calibration is available from YOUNG at nominal cost.
