2. Clean off any insulation, rust, or other debris inside the opening or from the pipe to promote solid contact of the copper plate to
the pipe.
Before installing the sensor, make sure the pipe surface where the sensor will make contact is clean and free of oil, dirt,
or grease.
3. Insert the temperature sensor through the insulation and press against the pipe.
Tip: Faster response from the sensor can be achieved by applying a thermal conductive compound to the copper sensor plate
before inserting the sensor.
4.
Insert the tie straps through the openings in the mounting plate, around the pipe and connect to the other ends. Tighten the
straps and compress the spring such that the mounting plate is pressed against the insulation for a firm mount.
Installation Note: The sensor and spring assembly is designed to work with insulation thicknesses from ½” up to 2-1/2”,
so if your insulation is thin, you may not be able to press the mounting plate up against the insulation without adding
something to fill in the gap. Whether you fill the gap between the mounting plate and the insulation or not has no
bearing on the sensor performance.
