TE-63xS Series Strap-Mount Temperature Sensors Installation Instructions

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.
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.
Repair Information
If the TE-63xS Series Strap-Mount Temperature
Sensor fails to operate within its specifications, replace
the unit. For a replacement sensor, contact the nearest
Johnson Controls
®
representative.
!
CAUTION: Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before
checking all wiring connections. Short
circuited or improperly connected wires
may result in permanent damage to the
equipment.
MISE EN GARDE : Risque de dégâts
matériels.
Ne pas mettre le système sous tension
avant d'avoir vérifié tous les raccords de
câblage. Des fils formant un court-circuit
ou connectés de façon incorrecte
risquent d'endommager
irrémédiablement l'équipement.
IMPORTANT:
Use copper conductors only. Make
all wiring connections in accordance with local,
national, and regional regulations. Do not exceed
the TE-63xS Series Strap-Mount Temperature
Sensor’s electrical ratings.
