Minco RTD query

[agillies]

Hi All,

I have just been given some RTD's from work,

http://www.minco.com/Sensors-and-Instruments/Products/~/media/WWW/Resource%20Library/SensorsCatalogPages/Probe_FastResponse.ashx
(ones on the first page)

They are only 2 wire ones.

Will they work with my PID (sestos)?

Also the cable to connect to is very short, can they be easily extended?

Cheers

Yep, unlike thermocouples that depend upon different metals, RTDs work on resistance of the sensor (100 Ohm are common) so as long as you do a good low resistance joint it will be sweet.
