3.0 Functionality
3.1 Functional description
The probe can be used for measuring temperature
in the range-50°C to 400°C (-58°F to 752°F).
The JOFRA STS-050 A/B probes may be supplied
with certificates for a limited temperature range.
The resistance of the JOFRA STS-050 A/B probe is
converted to temperature according to IEC-751 (ITS-
90) (calculated coefficients specific for the probe is
stated on the certificate).
3.2 Connections
The probe is delivered with a connecting cable.
The pin-layout is as follows:
Pin 1 : RTD I-/ CJC Pt1000 –
Pin 2 : RTD S-/ TC V-
Pin 3 : RTD S+/ TC V+
Pin 4 : RTD I+/ CJC Pt1000 +
Pin 5 : Memory GND
Pin 6 : Memory I/O
