TB & TRA SERIES
High Accuracy Specialty Sensors
TB
TRA
The TB strap-on sensor uses a clamp to secure the unit to a pipe and a
copper sensing plate for fast temperature response. The TB is perfect
for secondary measurement of water temperature typical in retrot
applications. It includes a steel mounting box for wire termination and easy
conduit connection.
The TRA Series stainless steel remote probe is designed for high accuracy
in remote temperature sensing applications. The TRA can be used in
numerous refrigeration applications or can be mounted on pipes for chilled
or heated water temperature sensing. It is easily installed and includes a
durable stainless steel sensing probe and a two-wire twisted pair cable with
strain relief. Multiple cable lengths are available for added exibility.
