- Alta precisione: Achieves an accuracy of +/-0.2°C.
- Costruzione durevole: Features a corrosion-resistant brass sleeve.
- Risposta rapida: Offers very fast temperature response for dynamic monitoring.
- Installazione semplice: Stiff jacketed cable facilitates straightforward wiring in conduit.
- Certificazioni: CSA and C US Approved for use in USA and Canada.
Configurazione e installazione
The Tekmar 078 Universal Sensor is designed for flexible installation. Always ensure power is disconnected before beginning any installation procedures.
Metodi di installazione:
- Installazione del condotto: The stiff jacketed cable allows for easy pulling through conduit. Ensure the sensor tip is positioned correctly for accurate readings.
- Domestic Hot Water Tank Wells: Insert the sensor tip into the designated temperature well of the hot water tank.
- Pipe Strapping: For measuring supply or return temperatures, securely strap the sensor to the pipe. Ensure good thermal contact between the sensor tip and the pipe surface.
Connect the sensor wires to the appropriate terminals on your control system as per the system's wiring diagram. The sensor is a 10K thermistor type.
Principi operativi
The Tekmar 078 operates as a 10K thermistor, which changes its electrical resistance in response to temperature variations. This change in resistance is then interpreted by a compatible control system to provide an accurate temperature reading. Its fast response time ensures that temperature fluctuations are detected promptly.
Manutenzione
The Tekmar 078 Universal Sensor requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure optimal performance:
- Ispezione visiva: Periodically check the cable and sensor tip for any signs of physical damage, wear, or corrosion. The brass sleeve is corrosion-resistant, but extreme conditions may still affect it over time.
- Integrità della connessione: Ensure all electrical connections remain secure and free from moisture or debris.
- Pulizia: Keep the sensor tip clean from any buildup that might impede accurate temperature sensing.
Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor. If damage is observed, replace the unit.
Risoluzione dei problemi
If the sensor is not providing expected readings or appears to be malfunctioning, consider the following:
- Controllare le connessioni: Verify that all wiring connections are correct and secure at both the sensor and the control system.
- Posizionamento del sensore: Ensure the sensor is properly positioned and has good thermal contact with the medium it is intended to measure. Incorrect placement can lead to inaccurate readings.
- Integrità del cavo: Inspect the 15-foot cable for any cuts, pinches, or damage that could interrupt the signal.
- Control System Compatibility: Confirm that the control system is compatible with a 10K thermistor type sensor.
If issues persist after checking these points, consult the control system's manual or contact Tekmar technical support.
