Model 268-RTD is a low-cost, 3 1/2 digit RTD meter with a wide range of output options. It is available in four standard configurations for 100 platinum RTD's with alpha of 0.00385. Readout can be in °C or °F with 1° or 0.1° resolution. Non-isolated parallel BCD output is standard.

PANEL-MOUNT OR BENCH-STYLE CASE

The standard case of the 268-RTD is 1/8 DIN-sized and is suitable for panel mounting. It can also be mounted in an optional bench-style case. This case is available for one RTD input or with a rotary switch for 12 inputs.

OUTPUT OPTIONS
Upper-board output options of the 268-RTD include five different BCD output boards, an IEEE-488 (GPIB) communi-cations interface, a 1 mV/count analog output, and a single-setpoint controller with reed-relay output. For additional information, please refer to the Options and Mechanical sections.
