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:

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.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: The TE-63xS Series Strap-Mount

Temperature Sensors are intended 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: 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.

IMPORTANT: If using adjustable metal pipe

clamps, do not overtighten the clamps.

Overtightening the clamps may damage the sensor

or cable.

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 mm diameter) run contributes 2 ohms of error, 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.
