2 Introduction 2 Introduction 2.1 General The Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRT) model 5623A is designed to be a secondary standard interpolating instrument converting temperature to resis- tance. The 5623A assembly design allows for exposure to very cold tempera- ture (–200°C) and is an ideal reference for verification, monitoring or calibrating control sensors in located in freezers or incubators. The 5623A may also be used as a temperature standard for calibration of industrial sensors. T

4 Installation 4 Installation 4.1 Lead Wire Identification The 5623A PRT is equipped with a four-wire cable (see Figure 1). Four lead wires are used to cancel lead wire resistance. For best results, the readout de- vice should be equipped to handle four-terminal resistors. White Red White Red Figure 1 PRT Schematic The lead wires are two different colors. Lead wire pairs attached to each end of the sensor are identified by red and white insulation. 5623A 9

5 PRT Care and Handling Guidelines 5 PRT Care and Handling Guidelines 5.1 PRT Care CAUTION: READ THIS SECTION BEFORE REMOVING THE PRT FROM THE SHIPPING BOX OR CASE Care must be taken in handling the PRT to maintain calibration accuracy. Care should still be used when handling the PRT even though the Inconel sheath is durable and provides good protection for the sensor. Correct handling of the PRT will prolong the life expectancy. When not in use, the PRT should be stored in an optional protectiv

6 Operation 6 Operation 6.1 General For best results, be familiar with the operation of the heat source and the read-out instrument. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the read-out instrument and the heat source. 6.2 Immersion Requirements Stem effect can cause measurement errors for any thermometer not immersed in the fluid at least 114 mm (4.5 inches). This error is due to heat lost or gained by the sensing element through the thermometer stem. In addition, heat losses occur
