2.4. Positioning of the sensor
Control quality depends to a large degree on the positioning of the sensor. It must be
placed so as to detect temperature variations in the shortest possible time. If the process
requires a constant temperature, the sensor will be installed near the heating unit. For
control in which the temperature varies often, the sensor will be placed near the objects
to be heated. In all cases, it is best to perform a few tests in order to determine the best
position for the sensor.
For control of the temperature of a liquid, an agitator can be used to eliminate
temperature differences.
Using the right type of sensor is the key to accurate measurement. The sensor must
have the right temperature scale for the desired regulation temperature. The accuracy of
STATOP controllers is limited only by the characteristics of the sensor.
