2. Measuring non-electric quantities • Distribution of sensors according to the used physical phenomenon or principle of scanning: • mechanical quantities - position, track, speed, revolutions, force, torque, • • thermal variables - temperature, heat flux, heat • • radiological variables - intensity of visible, infrared and ultraviolet radiation • • quantity of hydraulic systems - pressure, flow, revolutions, noise • • biological variables - blood pressure, pulse, temperature .. • • nuclear variables - type of radiation α, β, γ

3. Measuring non-electric quatities Motion sensor (pyroelectric sensor) The measured physical quantity: - an infrared beam Application: - capture the movement of people in rooms, in buildings or triggers an alarm. • Measurement of movement in the room: Functions - pyroelectric sensor responds to the thermal radiation emitted by the human body. To increase the sensitivity of the sensor it is placed in the focus of a parabolic reflector, or converging lens. The sensor signal is amplified, evaluates and responds to human movement, the sensor sends a signal. The actuator adopts an activation signal and switches for example for a certain period lighting or triggering an alarm.

4. Measuring non-electric quantities Thermocouple The measured physical quantity - the temperature T (° C), Applications: - measure surface temperature of solids, • Measurement of thermal quantities: Functions - in the weld two metal conductors with different concentrations of free electrons resulting from the change in temperature (the temperature of loose ends), for example when heated, the power supply, that can be measured between the free ends of conductors.

5. Measuring non-electric quantities Thermocouple The measured physical quantity - the temperature T (° C) Application: - measurement of the surface temperature of solids, • Measurement of thermal quantities: Properties: A pair of metal (alloy): Fe (+) – CuNi (-) is used for temperature measurement– 200°C to700 °C, NiCr (+), Ni (-) for200°C to1200 °C, NiCrSI (+) – NiSi (-) to1300 °C PtRh (+), Pt (-) to1600 °C

6. Measurement of non-electric quantities Thermistor: The measured physical quantity - the temperature T (° C) Application: - measurement of temperature of oil, water, indirect measurement of liquid flow rate, liquid level indicator - monitoring overflow tank with heating oil, thermometer for microwave ovens .... • Measurement of thermal quantities: Functions - A thermistor is a semiconductor component that is used as a temperature-sensitive component. Types : NTC andPTC thermistor. NTC is a thermistor with negative temperature coefficient, which means that heating resistance components decreases resistance The PTC thermistor resistance increases with heating

7. Measurement of non-electric quatities Resistive thermal sensor: The measured physical quantity - the temperature T (° C) Functions: - They use the principle of change in resistance when the temperature changes, based on the formula: • Measurement of thermal quantities: R2- resistance at higher temperature (Ω) R0 - resistance at reference temperature (Ω) Δϑ - temperature difference (°C) α - temperature coefficient of resistance (in tables) (K-1) for aluminum Al is= 0,004 K-1 ; for copper Cu is = 0,0042 K-1
