11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

11.1 Electromagnetic field

Due to the very low electrical resistance of the Sensor and the aluminum

coating, the output signal is resistant to electromagnetic interference.

In most cases, no countermeasures are necessary.

If electromagnetic interference is a problem, typical countermeasures (e.g.

shielded cables, grounding) have to be taken.

11.2 Trouble shooting electrical problem

In case of electrical problems, check all the connections and cables. Check

for loose connections and/or short circuits in the leads.

In some cases, corroded cables are the issue. If the problem cannot be

located in the leads/cables, the Sensor may be broken and has to be

replaced.

11.3 Application in temperatures outside of calibration range

The calibration temperature range of the HTX Heat Flux Sensors is stated

in the respective data sheets.

Within this temperature range, RMT guarantees a relative error less than

+/- 3%.

Outside of this range, the relative error may exceed this value.

11.4 Influence of radiative heat flux

Electromagnetic radiation from deep ultraviolet wavelengths to infrared

may interfere with your measurement. To achieve highest precision make

sure to block off this radiation.
