Platinum Temperature Sensor

This sensor is used to measure the outside air temperature to allow the DDC system to coordinate the mechanical systems with actual building load conditions, enabling such strategies as free cooling, optimum start/stop, and supply temperature reset. The housing is made from PVC and stainless steel fittings which shield the probe from direct sunlight. There are three thermistor based models, and one RTD version to provide compatibility with the majority of DDC systems.

This sensor is used to measure water temperature of heated or chilled water and other liquids found in the various mechanical systems of building. The sensor is especially intended for strapping to the outside of a pipe when there is no opportunity to install a well such as in a  retrofit or additions to an existing system.The strap on probe is useful in applications such as monitoring batteries, transformers, generators, and generally any place where a complete assembly can not be mounted,Ice rink slabs and soil temperature are other applications.

This temperature probe is suitable for a variety or high temperature applications such as floor heating, solar heating systems and domestic hot water heaters to name a few. The sensor element is housed in a stainless steel probe which is 6mm diameter x 50mm [2in] long. The cable is 4.5 meter long and is a high temperature material that is tough and highly durable.The probe is available with custom thermistors  and Pt elements, nearly all the popular ranges are available with very small minimum order quantity.
