Have you ever wondered how a temperature sensor really works? 

What does the RTD mean and why is 1,000 ohms resistance so important. 

In this week's Friday Fan Answers I discuss a question from Nick. 

Nick asks "Can you cover or explain the technical reasons for a 1000 ohm RTD sensor to suddenly begin to fluctuate drastically"

Sure thing Nick!

In this episode you will learn:

• The best way to wire up a temperature sensor
• Why vibration can lead to huge temperature issues
• What this whole 1,000 ohms thing is about
• How often and how to calibrate your temperature sensors
