An excitation voltage of 2.5 V DC is recommended to minimize self-heating and current drain, while still

maintaining adequate measurement sensitivity (mV output from thermistor per C). However, other excitation

voltages can be used. Decreasing the excitation voltage will decrease self-heating and current drain, but will also

decrease thermistor measurement sensitivity. Increasing the excitation voltage will increase thermistor

measurement sensitivity, but will also increase self-heating and current drain.

Wiring for ST-110 Serial Numbers range 0-2724

Plug each wire into the appropriate data logger terminal following the illustrations below:

Thermistor

Measurement devices (e.g., datalogger, controller) do not measure resistance directly, but determine resistance

from a half-bridge measurement, where an excitation voltage is input across the thermistor and an output voltage

is measured across the bridge resistor.
