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.

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.
