An optional temperature sensor module (DTEMP) is available which will enable an advanced 5-point temperature compensation of measurements.
The temperature module is a small double sided PCB with an 8 pin SOIC integrated circuit mounted to it.
The dimensions are 10.5 x 7.6 x 2.5mm (0.413 x 0.299 x 0.098”
There are two solder pads for connection to the DSCUSB.
A 2mm hole is used for fixing the temperature module to the body of the load cell.
The module should, ideally, be positioned as close as possible to the strain gauges. The IC on the temperature module must also be in good thermal contact with the load cell body so the strain gauges and temperature sensor see the same temperature.
