Overview
The Extreme Temperature Sensor is made for thermowell mounting, direct insertion or remote probe mounting. The probe is made of Stainless Steel and made in different lengths for a custom t. The RTD’s are available in 100Ω or 1KΩ 385 curve as shown in the specications. The enclosures come in plastic or metal for both NEMA 3R and NEMA 4 applications and are all plenum rated.

Mounting
Application: Figure 9 shows a typical four-inch thermowell and four-inch immersion probe installed into an eight inch pipe. In a properly insulated pipe with liquid or steam, the temperature is essentially the same across the entire cross section of the pipe. Usually thermowells are sized to extend to the center of the pipe; however, shorter thermowells will give proper temperature readings if properly insulated. The shorter thermowells are used in pipes with high ow velocities. See Application notes “Thermowells Explained” on our website at www.bapihvac.com
Thermowell Installer: Typically a Pipe Fitter drills a ¾-inch hole into the pipe where the thermowell is needed. A customer provided tting, called a Threadolet or Weldolet, is welded to the pipe over the hole. The Threadolet has a ½” NPT thread in the center. Thread sealant such as Teon tape or pipe dope is applied to the ½” NPT threads of the thermowell. The thermowell is then inserted into the Threadolet and tightened. Estimates on insertion depths can be seen in our Application note “Thermowells Explained” on our website at www.bapihvac.com
Sensor Installation: Insert the immersion sensor into the well with the stainless steel screw tting into the opening on the well. Hand tighten the immersion sensor snugly without too much torque. Make sure that the tip of the immersion sensor is inserted as close to the well bottom as possible. The well is close tting to the sensor and will offer an accurate reading without the need for thermal compound.

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.

Problems:
Controller reports higher or lower than actual temperature
Possible Solutions:
- Conrm the input is set up correctly in the front end software
- Check wiring for proper termination & continuity. (shorted or open)
- Disconnect wires and measure sensor resistance and verify the “Sensor” output is correct.
