UpUp Model 32 / 32B Supported Sensors

Silicon Diode sensors use a fixed excitation current of 10uA and an input voltage range of 0 to 2.5V.

Negative and Positive Temperature Coefficient (NTC) / (PTC) resistor sensors are supported using a ratiometric bridge technique to cancel low frequency noise.

PTC sensor types include Platinum and Rhodium-Iron. Excitation currents are 1.0mA, 100uA and 10uA DC. Corresponding full-scale resistance ranges are: 625Ω, 6.25KΩ and 62KΩ.

NTC sensors include Ruthenium-Oxide, Carbon Glass, Germanium and Cernox™. Constant-voltage sensor excitations of 10.0mV, 3.3mV or 1.0mV allows the use of these sensors over an extended temperature range. Minimum excitation current is 10nA.

Thermocouple sensors are supported by ordering an optional Thermocouple input. This option provides a special input connector and a screw-terminal attachment to the Thermocouple wires. An internal Cold Junction Compensation circuit is provided. Input voltage range is ±80mV.
