    Temperature detectors are used to measure temperature and provide indication, alarm, and control functions. If a temperature detector malfunctions but the circuitry is still functional, an external bridge circuit can be connected to obtain temperature readings from the detector's calibration curves. Ambient temperature and humidity variations can affect the accuracy of temperature detection instruments. Maintaining the proper environmental conditions reduces these effects.

    Temperature Detectors

    FUNCTIONAL USES OF TEMPERATURE DETECTORS

    If the malfunction is in the circuitry and the detector itself is still functional, it may be possible to obtain temperatures by connecting an external bridge circuit to the detector. Resistance readings may then be taken and a corresponding temperature obtained from the detector calibration curves.

    Environmental Concerns
    Ambient temperature variations will affect the accuracy and reliability of temperature detection instrumentation. Variations in ambient temperature can directly affect the resistance of components in a bridge circuit and the resistance of the reference junction for a thermocouple. In addition, ambient temperature variations can affect the calibration of electric/electronic equipment. The effects of temperature variations are reduced by the design of the circuitry and by maintaining the temperature detection instrumentation in the proper environment. The presence of humidity will also affect most electrical equipment, especially electronic equipment. High humidity causes moisture to collect on the equipment. This moisture can cause short circuits, grounds, and corrosion, which, in turn, may damage components. The effects due to humidity are controlled by maintaining the equipment in the proper environment.

    Summary Detector Uses Summary
