15°C (59°F)

2.14 to 2.58 kΩ

7 (-) - 8 (+)

20°C (68°F)

1.71 to 2.05 kΩ

7 (-) - 8 (+)

25°C (77°F)

1.38 to 1.64 kΩ

7 (-) - 8 (+)

30°C (86°F)

1.11 to 1.32 kΩ

NOTICE:

  • Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
  • When measuring the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

HINT:

As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).

If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the sensor.
