Description
PT100 RTD Sensor with Extension Cable (Model APES-6×150) is designed for accurate temperature measurement where the sensing point is located far from the control panel or monitoring system. Supplied with a factory-fitted 5-meter extension cable, the sensor eliminates the need for field splicing, helping simplify installation while maintaining reliable signal transmission.
The sensor features a Simplex PT100, 3-wire sensing element with Class A accuracy, providing precise temperature measurement from -50°C to +400°C. The 3-wire configuration helps compensate for lead-wire resistance, improving measurement accuracy in longer cable installations.
Constructed with an SS316 stainless steel sheath and mineral-insulated sensing element, the sensor is suitable for process industries, power plants, OEM machinery, automation systems, and industrial process monitoring. Aavad also offers customized probe lengths, cable lengths, cable insulation materials, and process connections to meet specific application requirements.
Key Features
-
Integrated 5-Meter Extension Cable Allows direct connection from remote, elevated, or enclosed process points back to control cabinets without introducing field splice points.
-
Superior Noise Immunity Over Long Distance Resistance-based RTD signal eliminates millivolt noise interference and cold-junction compensation errors typical of long thermocouple runs.
-
Class A Calibration Accuracy Precision platinum element provides tight measurement tolerance ($pm 0.15^circtext{C}$ at $0^circtext{C}$) across demanding operating environments up to 400°C.
-
Compacted MgO Mineral Insulation Protects the sensing element against physical shock, severe industrial vibration, and rapid thermal cycling.
-
Corrosion-Resistant SS316 Sheath ($6text{mm}times 150text{mm}$) High-purity stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance against industrial chemicals, solvents, and oxidative process atmospheres.
-
Simplex 3-Wire Configuration Standard 3-wire lead setup automatically cancels out lead-wire resistance over long cable distances.

FAQs
1. What is a PT100 RTD Sensor with Extension Cable?
A PT100 RTD Sensor with Extension Cable is a PT100 Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) supplied with a factory-fitted extension cable for remote temperature measurement. The pre-attached cable enables direct connection to controllers, transmitters, PLCs, DCS, or other monitoring instruments without requiring additional field wiring or cable splicing.
2. Why use an Extension Cable on an RTD Sensor?
A factory-fitted extension cable allows the RTD sensor to be installed at a distance from the control panel or measuring instrument while reducing installation time and eliminating field cable joints. This improves connection reliability, minimizes wiring errors, and provides a cleaner, more durable installation for industrial temperature monitoring.
3. What is the advantage of a 3-Wire PT100 Configuration?
A 3-wire PT100 configuration helps compensate for lead-wire resistance, resulting in improved temperature measurement accuracy over longer cable runs. It is one of the most commonly used RTD wiring methods in industrial automation, process control, HVAC, pharmaceutical, food processing, and manufacturing applications.
