Eltek Temperature Sensors
Thermistors - For Ambient Temperatures
Thermistors are ideal for temperatures between -50°C to + 150°C and combine fast response time and accuracy. Long cable lengths can be used.
Type U: 2000 ohms at 25°C (accuracy +/-0.1°C over the range 0 to 70°C)
Thermocouples
The most common types are J, K and T. The temperature range for your application decides what type to use. Calibration recommended.
PRTs (Platinum resistance) - Accurate at High Temperatures
PRTs are best suited for measuring temperatures down to -100°C and up to +600°C with good long-term stability and accuracy. Eltek products support only PT100 Platinum Resistance Sensors.
Due to the small change in resistance of PRTs, cable resistance can affect the accuracy of the sensor. Three or preferably four wire cables are recommended, and long lengths should be avoided.
Eltek Probe Types
For general purpurse. These are Robust, fast response, stainless steel, rounded end probes. Typical applications include water, air, vapours, liquids, cryo containers, cold rooms, powders, fridges, freezers, food...
Items marked with a * are available the most common and have a shorter lead time.

Lead Types
1. Lead length up to 20m can be supplied with thermistor sensors.
2. For platinum resistance types P2 max length is 15m.
Soft Insertion Probe
Sensor sealed into smooth round ended flexible translucent PVC tubing which is smoothly fused onto cable. For delicate applications requiring flexible soft insertion.

Capacitive Humidity and Temperature Probes
RHT10E & RHT20E
The RHT10E & RHT20E are cost-effective, compact and robust RH and temperature probes for use with Eltek GenII transmitters (the probes are not suitable for other applications).
The sensor is housed in a replaceable protective cap with non-removable stainless steel (grade 316) 100-micron dust filter.
The RHT10E & RHT20E are intended for indoor, non-condensing applications. The RH and temp sensor is removable thereby permitting exchange or calibration.
The lead is non-detachable and can be ordered at a user-specified length from 1m up to 10m.
