Overview
The BA/T#-D is a duct mounted 4 to 20mA or Voltage temperature transmitter probe. It comes in a variety of probe lengths and optional mounting enclosures shown below. The 4 to 20mA transmitter can be ordered with 100Ω (385), 1KΩ (385) RTDs or 10KΩ type 2 thermistor sensors. A 0 to 5VDC or 0 to 10VDC transmitter is also available with the 10KΩ type 2 thermistor sensor. Special high accuracy RTD matched transmitters (M) are available which match the sensor to the transmitter for improved accuracy.

Mounting
1. Place the sensor in the middle of the duct away from temperature stratied air, coils or humidiers to achieve the best tempera­ture reading.
2. Drill the probe hole as depicted on this page for the enclosure being used. Insert the probe into the duct.
3. Mount the enclosure to the duct using BAPI recommended #8 screws through a minimum of two opposing mounting tabs provided. Weatherproof (WP) enclosures require assembly of the mounting tabs on opposite corners. A 1/8 inch pilot screw hole in the duct makes mounting easier through the mounting tabs. Use the enclo­sure tabs to mark the pilot hole locations.
4. Snug up the sensors so that the foam backing is depressed to prevent air leak­age but do not over-tighten or strip the screw threads.
Note 1: Do not drill into the weatherproof enclosures (BB, BB2, WP, EU, EUO) which will violate the NEMA and/or the IP rating.
Note 2: Use caulk or Teon tape for your conduit entries to maintain the appropriate NEMA or IP rating for your application.
Note 3: Conduit entry for outdoor or wet ap­plications should be from the bottom of the enclosure.

Wiring & Termination
BAPI recommends using twisted pair of at least 22AWG and sealant lled connectors for all wire connections. Larger gauge wire may be required for long runs. All wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes. Do NOT run this device’s wiring in the same conduit as high or low voltage AC power wiring. BAPI’s tests show that inaccurate signal levels are possible when AC power wiring is present in the same conduit as the sensor wires.

Diagnostics
Possible Problems: Possible Solutions:

temperature standard. Disconnect the temperature sensor wires and measure the temperature sensor’s resistance with an ohmmeter. Compare the temperature sensor’s resistance to the appropriate temperature sensor table on the BAPI website.
• The reading is incorrect in the controller.
- For a 4-20mA current transmitter measure the transmitter current by placing an ammeter
Voltage Temperature Equation
T = TLow + (V x TSpan) VSpan T = Temperature at sensor TLow = Low temperature of span THigh = High temperature of span TSpan = THigh - TLow VLow = Low transmitter voltage usually=(0, 1 or 2v) VHigh = High transmitter voltage usually=(5 or 10v) VSpan = VHigh - VLow V = Signal reading in volts
- Determine if the input is set up correctly in the controllers and BAS software.
in series with the controller input. The current should read according to the “4-20mA Temperature Equation” shown below.
- For a voltage transmitter, measure the signal with a volt meter (Orange or Orange/Black to Black). The signal should read according to the “Voltage Temperature Equation” shown below.
4-20mA Temperature Equation
T = TLow + (A -4) x (TSpan) 16 T = Temperature at sensor TLow = Low temperature of span THigh = High temperature of span TSpan = THigh - TLow A = Signal reading in mA
