Standard resistance
Notice:
  • Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
  • When measuring, the sensor temperature must be almost the same as the ambient temperature.
Hint:

As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).

If the result is not as specified, replace the sensor.
