TEMPERATURE SENSOR TER-616/TX ALSO USED FOR ATEX CLASSIFIED AREAS (all zones)

Temperature sensor normally used for temperature control inside the silo or filter installed inside the higher room where air is clean. It is complete of a sleeve which avoids the sensor to be directly in contact with the potentially explosive atmosphere. The sleeve thermal conductivity transfers temperature to the sensor. It signals an overheating state caused by an ongoing or smoldering fire. Its NO (normally open) contact will close when the temperature reaches 88°C (190°F) and it will return back to open state as soon as the temperature decreases below 88°C (190°F). It requires a power supply voltage of 24Vdc and it is used to control an optical and acoustical alarm signal.

Mounting instructions

Drill the wall of the silo or filter and insert the sleeve by fixing it with the weld nut or any other solution fit for purpose. Assembly the temperature sensor to the junction box using the fixing accessories and put it inside the sleeve. The installer must care about separation between internal and external area. Mounting must be made by assuring that all operations don’t cause any explosion risk.
