I ran into this sensor when I bought a cheap Chinese controller -- it came with one. I write software for industrial process controllers professionally, and occasionally buy one of the cheap controllers I see around (aliexpress, ebay) just to see how they are built and how capable they are. I'd never heard of a CU-50 RTD, and couldn't find anything except the one image I linked to. I though one of you might provide more insight.
