Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

  • Standard resistance:
  • Tester ConnectionConditionSpecified Condition
    B5-1 - B5-210°C (50°F)3.00 to 3.73 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-215°C (59°F)2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-220°C (68°F)1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-225°C (77°F)1.60 to 1.80 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-230°C (86°F)1.28 to 1.47 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-235°C (95°F)1.00 to 1.22 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-240°C (104°F)0.80 to 1.00 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-245°C (113°F)0.65 to 0.85 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-250°C (122°F)0.50 to 0.70 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-255°C (131°F)0.44 to 0.60 kΩ
    B5-1 - B5-260°C (140°F)0.36 to 0.50 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 is not as specified, replace the ambient temperature sensor.
