F700 Thermometry Bridge Standard.
The Model F700 Thermometry Bridge Standard is a high accuracy resistance bridge designed specifically
for resistance thermometry.
Its unique AC bridge circuitry eliminates thermal EMF effects to provide you with
fast, reliable measurements under a wide range of real operating conditions.
F700 Thermometry Bridge a special input guard circuit maintains accuracy by minimizing the effect of probe
or cable leakage to ground.

F700 | Model F700 Thermometry Bridge Standard |

The effect of cable and probe reactance is eliminated by an on-board quadrature servo allowing you typically
to make measurements up to 100 meters from the PRT.
The differential capability allows the resistance of one PRT to be measured against another
directly and
provides the most accurate comparison calibration technique.
The F700 can be used with one or more switchboxes for multi channel calibration.
