Liz Zala — Thu, 29 May 2025 19:19:56 +0000

Influx K-PT PT100/1000 Measurement Module

Influx’s K-PT module is designed to connect PT100/1000 sensors to a K-Box or K-AN8 voltage measurement device that normally cannot support these sensors. The powered K-PT module simply enables PT100/1000 sensors to be connected via the D-Sub 9 terminals and will output the signal voltages to an Analog measurement device.

Calibration and sampling rates can be configured using the freely distributed K-Cal software.

The Pt100/1000 is one of the most accurate temperature sensors. Not only does it provide good accuracy, it also provides excellent stability and repeatability. Pt100/Pt1000 are also relatively immune to electrical noise, and therefore, well suited for temperature measurement in industrial environments, especially around motors, generators and other high voltage equipment. Using the K-PT add-on module, it is possible to connect and accurately measure Pt100 and Pt1000 sensors.

Key Features

Influx K-PT Connects up to 4 RTD sensors to the K-Series K-Box/KAN8 via the Analog inputs
Simple signal configuration using a DBC file
Supplied with configuration software Influx K-Cal for Windows®
Refresh rates achievable (4 channels 20Hz)
ABS enclosure

Advantages

Accuracy, excellent stability and repeatability
Relatively immune to electric noise
Well suited and widely used for temperature measurements in industrial environments. Especially around motors, generators and other high voltage equipment
Easily configurable software
