Probe Temperature Sensor

The strap-on Insert sensor consists of a stainless steel sheath temperature sensor, thermal conducting compound, and an adjustable pipe bracket accessory. The stainless steel sheath temperature sensor is suitable for direct application to pipe surfaces for chilled or hot water measurement.

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.

This sensor is used to measure the supply and return temperature in HVAC system. The flange mount design makes it easy to install the sensor in tight quarters. There are several sensor elements to choose from which guarantee compatibility with all popular DDC systems. The probe in the photo is our standard model which is always in stock, it has a 8″ probe and a 120″ cable, and employs either a precision thermistor or platinum film sensor, so field calibration is not required. The 10ft(3m) cable is “Plenum Rated”.

The strap-on temperature sensor is used for sensing the temperature of pipework in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
