Immersion Temperature Sensors
The Fluid Immersion-type sensors are provided
with a 2 ½”, 4”, or 6 ¼” insertion length, 304 series
stainless steel thermowell. The thermowell has a
1/2” NPT external or process thread and a 1/2” NPS
Female process thread. Heat transfer compound
may be used but it is not necessary.
Strap-On Temperature Sensors
The TAC Strap-On sensors, are provided in a NEMA
1 rated junction box with an adjustable 2” to 5” pipe
clamp. The unit should be mounted on the bottom
side of the pipe to ensure proper heat transfer and a
true temperature reading. Heat transfer compound
and insulating the sensor will help the overall
accuracy of the sensor. By ordering extra straps, and
fastening them together, it is possible to make them
fit larger pipes.
Outside Air Temperature Sensors
The TAC Outdoor Air temperature sensors are
provided in a weatherproof enclosure. An optional
weatherproof Aluminum Bell Box or NEMA 4X
Polycarbonate enclosure is also available upon
request for an additional charge. All of the mounting
hardware is provided with the sensor. Be sure to
mount the sensor out of direct sunlight, with the
sensor probe pointing downward.
Stainless Plate Temperature Sensors
The TAC Stainless Plate temperature sensors are
mounted on the back of a 1 Gang stainless steel
plate. The foam pad will insulate the sensor from any
drafts in the wall. (2) 6/32” x 1” machine screws are
provided for junction box mounting. Be sure that the
sensor is not mounted on an outside wall, due to the
extreme temperature changes from either drafts or
heat transfer.
