XIQI Electric CG-ZC PT100 Temperature Sensor Probe w/ 1m Shielded Cable - 4x30mm Stainless Steel

This CG-ZC sensor is typically supplied as a 2-wire PT100 RTD. The two conductors within the shielded cable connect directly to the platinum resistance element. For highest accuracy, a 3-wire or 4-wire configuration is recommended to compensate for lead wire resistance, but this model uses a standard 2-wire setup suitable for many industrial controllers.

Yes, but it requires an external signal conditioner or RTD amplifier module. The PT100's resistance change is small and requires precise measurement. You would need a module like a MAX31865 RTD-to-Digital converter to interface the sensor's resistance output with the analog or digital input of a microcontroller like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

The stainless steel probe is rated for continuous operation up to 800°C. It is crucial to ensure the installation environment does not exceed this limit to maintain sensor accuracy and prevent premature degradation of the platinum element and sheath material.

The shielded braided cable is designed for signal integrity in electrically noisy environments, but the cable jacket and insulation have a lower temperature rating than the metal probe. The cable should be routed away from direct high-heat sources and kept in areas typically below 105°C to prevent insulation damage.
