Thermocouple WRN2-239 directly measures temperature and converts it into a measurable electrical signal. It is widely used in various high-temperature, corrosive or harsh environments. With its double-branch design and excellent durability, it stands out in many application scenarios. This article will introduce the wiring method of WRN2-239 thermocouple and discuss the key issues that need to be paid attention to during installation and use to ensure the accuracy of its measurement and the safe operation of the equipment.

Wiring method of thermocouple WRN2-239

WRN2-239 thermocouple adopts a double-branch design. Each thermocouple is welded by two conductors of different materials. They form a node at the working end (measuring end). When the temperature at this node changes, a small thermoelectric potential will be generated at both ends, which will be transmitted to the measuring instrument through the wire to achieve indirect measurement of temperature. For WRN2-239, correct wiring is crucial to ensure accurate signal transmission and avoid unnecessary errors.

Compensation wire connection: WRN2-239 thermocouples usually need to be equipped with matching compensation wires to extend the signal transmission distance and reduce the impact of ambient temperature changes on measurement. The material of the compensation wire should match the negative electrode material of the thermocouple, and ensure that the positive and negative electrodes are correctly connected to avoid errors in the cold end temperature compensation of the thermocouple.

Three-wire or four-wire connection method: In order to improve the measurement accuracy, WRN2-239 recommends the use of a three-wire or four-wire connection method. The three-wire system transmits the thermoelectric electromotive force signal through two wires, and the other is used as a common loop to reduce the error caused by the wire resistance; the four-wire system further adds a wire as a second reference point to achieve more accurate cold end compensation.

Cold end treatment: The temperature stability of the cold end (non-measurement end) is the key to ensuring measurement accuracy. Ideally, the cold end should be kept at a constant temperature, or adjusted in real time through the compensation circuit to ensure that the measurement results are not affected by ambient temperature fluctuations.

Installation and use precautions

Protection tube selection: The material of the protection tube of WRN2-239 should be selected according to the actual working conditions. For example, high temperature and corrosive gas environments should use high temperature resistant and corrosion resistant materials to ensure the long-term stable operation of the thermocouple and extend its service life.

Installation location: When installing, the working end of the thermocouple should be as close to the center of the measured medium as possible to avoid being affected by radiant heat or uneven airflow to ensure the accuracy of the measurement.

Prevent mechanical damage: During installation and use, care should be taken to avoid excessive bending or external impact of the thermocouple wire to avoid internal conductor breakage or poor contact.

Regular calibration and maintenance: To ensure the long-term accuracy of the measurement, the WRN2-239 thermocouple should be calibrated regularly, and the protection tube should be checked for damage, and worn parts should be replaced in time, especially for thermocouples that are in harsh environments for a long time.

Electrical interference protection: When used in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference, shielding measures should be taken, such as using shielded cables, to prevent external electromagnetic fields from interfering with the measurement signal and causing measurement errors.
