External Temperature Sensor 7817 Perception and Wizard Sensors The External Temperature Sensor is used to measure temperatures in general conditions. It is well-suited for air, water, or soil temperature measurements, and it may be used anywhere a reliable, low-cost temperature sensor is required. The sensor is epoxy-encapsulated in a vinyl cap. The External Temperature Sensor uses a precision platinum wire thermistor as a sensor. The thermistor produces a resistance change proportional to temperature.
