GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Apollo Intelligent Thermistor Meter (IMY) accepts standard Thermistor inputs and precisely linearizes them into temperature readings. Like an RTD, a thermistor is a temperature sensitive resistor, but the thermistor provides a much larger resistance change per degree. Since thermistors provide a large resistance change, sign ...
