Input Channels Eight resistance temperature detector (RTD) input channels. Each channel is isolated and independent.
Input Range (Each Channel) • FBM203/203D: 0 to 320 ohms. 320 ohms equals 64000 counts. Minimum over range value is 327.675 ohms at a count of 65535.
• FBM203B: 0 to 640 ohms. 640 ohms equals 64000 counts. Minimum over range value is 655.35 ohms at a count of 65535.
• FBM203C: 0 to 30 ohms. 30 ohms equals 64000 counts. Minimum over range value is 30.72 ohms at a count of 65535.
Sensor Current • FBM203/203D: 0.19 mA DC nominal
• FBM203B: 0.19 mA DC nominal
• FBM203C: 0.54 mA DC nominal
Lead Resistance • FBM203/FBM203B: 50 ohms maximum each lead. Any imbalance in extension leads will decrease accuracy.
• FBM203C: 10 ohms maximum each lead. Any imbalance in extension leads will decrease accuracy.
• FBM203D: 50 ohms maximum. Any imbalance in extension leads will not affect accuracy.
