Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
1 - 2 10°C (50°F) 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ
15°C (59°F) 2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
20°C (68°F) 1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
25°C (77°F) 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ
30°C (86°F) 1.28 to 1.47 kΩ
35°C (95°F) 1.00 to 1.22 kΩ
40°C (104°F) 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ
45°C (113°F) 0.65 to 0.85 kΩ
50°C (122°F) 0.50 to 0.70 kΩ
55°C (131°F) 0.44 to 0.60 kΩ
60°C (140°F) 0.36 to 0.50 kΩ


NOTICE:
·

Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensing portion may change the resistance value.

·

When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

·

Use a thermometer to detect the ambient temperature of the installation area around the thermistor assembly.



HINT:

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


If the result is not as specified, replace the thermistor assembly.
