Product Overview

The Honeywell HEL-700 Series Thin Film Platinum RTDs are designed for critical temperature monitoring and control in industrial applications. These sensors offer a linear change in resistance versus temperature, providing high linearity, stability, accuracy, and a wide temperature range within a compact, fast-response package. Ideal for measuring temperatures from -75 C to 540 C [-100 F to 1000 F], they are fully-assembled and ready-to-use in probe assemblies, eliminating the need for fragile splices. Manufactured with a thin layer of platinum on an alumina substrate and laser-trimmed for precision, these RTDs are available with standard 0.2% or optional 0.1% interchangeability for enhanced accuracy.
