Temperature sensor
EKS 111
PTC temperature sensor.
The sensor can be used for measuring air
temperatures in the following areas:
• Refrigeration
• Air conditioning
• Heating
PTC characteristic matches controllers types
EKC 101, EKC 201, EKC 301, CC and AK.
The sensor may not be used for food safety
logs or regulation of superheat.
Features
• The sensor is based on a PTC element with a
resistance of 990 ohm at 25 °C, with a degree of
accuracy of ±1%
• Temperature range: -55 – 80 °C
• Enclosure: IP67
• Connection: 2-wire PVC cable
• For use with controls in the EKC series
