Applications

IMPORTANT: The TE-63xS Series Strap-Mount

Temperature Sensors is inte nded to provide an input
to equipment under normal operating conditions.
Where failure or malfunction of the sensor could
lead to personal injury or property damage to the
controlled equipment or other property, additional
precautions must be designed into the control
system. Incorporate and maintain other devices,
such as supervisory or alarm systems or safety or
limit controls, intended to warn of or protect against
failure or malfunction of the sensor.

IMPORTANT : Le TE-63xS Series Strap-Mount
Temperature Sensor est destiné à transmettre des
données entrantes à un équipement dans des
conditions normales de fonctionnement. Lorsqu'une
défaillance ou un dysfonctionnement du sensor
risque de provoquer des blessures ou
d'endommager l'équipement contrôlé ou un autre
équipement, la conception du système de con tr ôle
doit intégrer des dispositifs de protection
supplémentaires. Veiller dans ce cas à intégrer de
façon permanente d'autres dispositifs, tels que des
systèmes de supervision ou d'alarme, ou des
dispositifs de sécurité ou de limitation, ayant une
fonction d'avertissement ou de protection en cas de
défaillance ou de dysfonctionnement du sensor.

Installation

Mounting

Location Considerations

Consider the following mounting location guidelines:

• Avoid areas subject to excessive vibration,
electrical noise, direct sunlight, or the effects of
radiant heat.

• Keep electrical wiring as short as possible to
minimize temperature error.

Mounting the Sensor

See Figure 2 and mount the temperature sensor as
follows:

To Controller

1. Mount the probe to the pipe using cable ties (three
included) or adjustable pipe clamps. Use thermal
conductive compound, F-1000-182 (order
separately), or equivalent, between the sensor and
pipe for best performance.

IMPORTANT: Do not install the TE-63xS Series
Strap-Mount Temperature Sensor probe in ambient
temperatures beyond the specified -50 to 220F
(-46 to 104C) temperature range. Installing the
temperature sensor in ambient temperatures
beyond this range may damage the unit and void the
warranty.

Dimensions

3.0 (76)

Note: Use Accessory Kit TE-6300-615 for pipe sizes
larger than 2 in. (51 mm) and up to 10 in. (250 mm)
and -40 to 220°F (-40 to 104°C) temperature range.

IMPORTANT: If using adjustable metal pipe
clamps, do not overtighten the clamps.
Overtightening the clamps may damage the sensor
or cable.

2. Wire the sensor to the controller.

Wiring

!

For 1k ohm nickel temperature sensors, wire
resistance can cause approximately 1F° (0.56C°) of
error for every 250 ft (76 m) run of 18 AWG (1.0 mm
diameter) wire, or every 100 ft (31 m) run of 22 AWG
(0.6 mm diameter) wire. To minimize error due to field
wiring, limit total resistance of all nickel temperature
sensor wiring to 3 ohms.

The 10k ohm thermistor applications tolerate relatively
long wiring before the wire resistance adds significantly
to total resistance measured at the controller. As a
general rule, a 150 ft (46 m) two-wire 18 AWG
(1.0 m m diameter ) ru n co nt rib ut es 2 oh m s of er ror, or
less than 1F° (0.56C°) error over the sensor operating
temperature range.

Refer to the appropriate controller documentation for
recommended sensor wiring.

CAUTION: Risk of Property Damage.

Do not apply power to the system before
checking all wiring connections. Short
circuited or improperly connected wires
may result in permanent damage to the
equipment.

MISE EN GARDE : Risque de dégâts
matériels.

Ne pas mettre le système sous tension
avant d'avoir vérifié tous les raccords de
câblage. Des fils formant un court-circuit
ou connectés de façon incorrecte
risquent d'endommager
irrémédiablement l'équipement.

IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make
all wiring connections in accordance with local,
national, and regional regulations. Do not exceed
the TE-63xS Series Strap-Mount Temperature
Sensor’s electrical ratings.

Repair Information

If the TE-63xS Series Strap-Mount Temperature
Sensor fails to operate within its specifications, replace
the unit. For a replacement sensor , cont act the nearest
