Temperature sensors are used to help ensure that a process or application is staying within a safe temperature range during operation. They also aid in measuring the temperature of equipment under hazardous conditions such as extreme heat, or when an area is inaccessible by normal means. At the end of this module you will be able to list the different types of temperature sensors and state how the different types of light sensors work.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
The following key questions are answered in this module:
What's the purpose of a temperature sensor?Temperature sensors help ensure that a process or application is operating within a safe temperature range. They also aid in measuring the temperature of equipment operating under hazardous conditions or in an area inaccessible by normal means.
What is a thermistor?A thermistor is a small, easy-to-use thermal sensor designed for measuring temperatures in hard-to-access locations, like the inside of a motor's coil.
What is a Resistive Temperature Detector (RTD)?An RTD is a temperature-sensitive resistor made of a pure metal such as platinum, nickel, or copper.
What is a thermocouple?Thermocouples are temperature sensors that measure voltage changes between two dissimilar metals.
What are some applications of light sensors?Light sensors are used to detect light. They are used in consumer products, security alarms, retail establishments, and in scientific applications.
