Probe Temperature Sensor

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.

The temperature sensor is designed to measure outdoor air temperature in typical HVAC applications. Mounting is quick and easy using two screws and no electrical box. The thermistor is a well sealed stainless steel probe which is then inserted into a hard rubber PVC radiation shield. The cable is two meters long which allows terminating inside the building in an electrical enclosure or with flying leads. The cable can exit directly behind the probe and into the building through a hole, or it can exit vertically and run down the wall. A foam backing seals the hole in the wall if there is one and also serves to thermally insulate the probe from the wall. The probe is filled with thermal grease for quick response.
