Tinkerforge Industrial PTC Bricklet

Tinkerforge Industrial PTC Bricklet can be used to extend the features of Bricks by the capability to measure temperature with Pt100 and Pt1000 sensors. The measured temperature can be read out in °C with 0.05% accuracy at the full scale of -246°C to 849°C. The Pt100 and Pt1000 sensors of 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire type can be used as per the requirement. This Bricklet is not galvanically isolated to the Tinkerforge system. The problems such as undesired connections, ground loops, or short circuits can be prevented by using the Bricklet together with an Isolator Bricklet.
