TEP/TEA Series

Platinum Temperature Sensors and TQ-6000 Accessory Transmitter

Description

The TEP and TEA Series Platinum Temperature Sensors come in probe (TEP Series) and averaging (TEA Series) configurations with 100-ohm or 1,000-ohm elements. These sensors have metal electrical boxes and are designed for use with building automation systems and application specific controllers. Use them also whenever platinum is specified for general purpose temperature sensing applications.

Probe Sensors: The TEP Series Probe Sensors have platinum wire elements in bronze sheaths. Easily field-install them with TE-6001 Hardware Assemblies.

Averaging Sensors: The TEA Series Averaging Sensors are complete sensor/hardware assemblies. Each consists of a platinum equivalent averaging-type sensor, either 10 or 20 ft (305 or 610 cm) long, encased in an aluminum sheath attached to a handibox, and shipped with two element holders for easy mounting and wiring.

Transmitter: The TQ-6000 is a 2-wire current loop type transmitter that works with the 100ohm platinum sensors to send a 4 to 20 mA temperature control signal long distances without the loss of accuracy due to lead wire resistance.

Features

• probe and averaging sensors available to cover a wide variety of applications

• current transmitter option allows longer wire runs

• metal electrical boxes provide an alternative to plastic for meeting code requirements

• sensor element options offer choice of 100 or 1,000 ohms

Applications

The TEP/TEA sensors can be used in a wide variety of general purpose temperature sensing applications or wherever platinum is specified.
