ACI Low Temperature Immersion Sensors & Transmitters

Features

  • Single point immersion sensor featuring a three-wire RTD sensor assembly using Teflon insulated lead wires and a 316 Series stainless steel probe.
  • The three wire sensors can be used with a two-wire transmitter by connecting the two (Red) colored wires to one of the RTD Terminal blocks with the 3rd (White) wire going to the second RTD Terminal block.
  • The overall accuracy of the temperature transmitter must be calculated using the transmitter calibrated accuracy plus that of the sensor error over temperature unless ordered as a TTM-matched transmitter.
  • Standard enclosure options include the “-GD” Galvanized or “-BB” Aluminum weatherproof enclosure.
  • NIST Certificates are available.

The ACI Low-Temperature Immersion Series sensors and transmitters are a single-point immersion sensor featuring a three-wire RTD sensor assembly using Teflon insulated lead wires and a 316 Series stainless steel probe. The three wire sensors can be used with a two-wire transmitter by connecting the two (Red) colored wires to one of the RTD Terminal blocks with the 3rd (White) wire going to the second RTD Terminal block. The purpose of the 3rd wire is to compensate for external lead wire resistance that will affect the accuracy of your sensor output when using a three-wire temperature transmitter or sensor configuration on your Building Management System or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller. ACI recommends the use of 18 AWG lead wires to reduce the external lead wire resistance when using a Platinum RTD. The operating specifications are for both the sensor and transmitter as designated in the specification table. The overall accuracy of the temperature transmitter must be calculated using the transmitter calibrated accuracy plus that of the sensor error over temperature unless ordered as a TTM-matched transmitter. Standard enclosure options include the “-GD” Galvanized or “-BB” Aluminum weatherproof enclosure. NIST Certificates are available for all of the configurations listed in the ordering grid on the back of the product datasheet. For best accuracy, ACI recommends the use of the TTM100 or TTM1K Series Matched transmitters since they include a second calibration step in which the RTD and transmitter are calibrated together as a system, in order to remove most of the sensor error over the calibrated temperature span of the transmitter.
