Description
Standard temperature Sensors monitor and transmit
changes in temperature to the building control system.
Specic devices within the range are compatible with most
North American building automation systems. All sensors
incorporate precision temperature sensing elements to
accurately and reliably measure temperature.
Features
• Variety of output signals available
• Outdoor sensors are ruggedly constructed for use in all
climates
• Responsive to temperature change
• Accurate and reliable indication of temperature
• Simple installation requires no special tools
Applications
Outdoor temperature sensors are used to monitor the
temperature of outdoor air. This variable is often used in a
variety of HVAC control strategies, including outdoor reset
and building ventilation.
Pipe surface temperature sensors are often used in place
on immersion type sensors, particularly in cases where
sensor installation occurs after the system if lled.
