Temperature sensor
Type ETN
NTC temperature sensors for ETC & ERC controllers
For commercial refrigeration applications
Danfoss has selected a programme of
temperature sensors to be used with the ETC
and ERC range of controllers.
NTC (Negative Temperature Coecient)
temperature sensors change resistance with
temperature in a manner compatible with the
controller software.
They are fully compliant with the tolerance
requirements according to IEC 60060-1.
Features:
• High accuracy in temperature measurement
and close tolerances ensure improved control
• Plastic/steel moulded sensor case
• Insulated connecting cable
• Various cable lengths available
• Supplied with rast 2.5 connectors
• Poka-yoke (mistake-proof) cable connection
to the controller

Connection diagram
Danfoss NTC temperature sensors are clearly marked for easy identication during the assembly process.
Colour coding on the cable close to the sensor element is used to dierentiate between cabinet, evaporator
(defrost) and condenser sensors even if the plug part of the cable is not visible.
For example, a sensor marked with two blue stripes as shown in Figure 2: Sensor with blue stripes is the evaporator
or defrost sensor.
There are also dierent connector types or codes at the plug end of the cable. Using a combination of rib cuts on
the connectors ensures correct connection position to the controller as shown in Figure 3: Connection position. This
is known as Poka-Yoke design.
