Mechanical & Physical Installation

Mechanical installation

For best measurement results, observe the following points:

oAvoid installing the sensor in the immediate vicinity of a heating element, cooling coil, cold or hot wall, in direct sunlight.

oIf the sensor is wall mounted it must not be mounted directly above a heat generating element such as a heater (rising of warm air)

oIf possible choose a location where there is good air movement at the sensor.

oAn air speed of at least 1m/s is optimal.

 

Electrical installation

Use Rotronic extension cables. These allow a maximum length of 5 m.

 

Connector

All TCD probes use the same connector (male).
