TE-6000 Series Temperature Sensing Elements Installation Instructions 3
Maintain maximum physical distance between the AC
power and element when wiring in a common panel.
TE-6000 elements are not position sensitive; mount
them in any position.
Leads on some of the elements have a color-coded
band to aid identification (Table 1).

Setup and Adjustments
The sensors do not require field adjustment; however,
if system adjustments are needed, refer to the
controller’s instructions.
Designated resistance values in Table 2 are for the
1,000-ohm nickel elements (TE-6000-1, -6, -10, -11,
-100, -101), and the 1,000 ohm platinum elements
(TE-6359-1). Values are as follows:
• the 500 ohm elements (TE-6000-2) are
one-half the nickel values
• the 333 ohm elements (TE-6000-3) are
one-third the nickel values
• the 50 ohm elements (TE-6000-5) are
one-twentieth the nickel values

Before applying power, make sure installation and
wiring connections meet the job specifications.
Troubleshooting
To confirm that the element is functioning correctly:
1. Measure the temperature at the sensor using an
accurate thermometer.
2. Determine the element resistance at the ambient
temperature by applying the appropriate
compensation for models with nominal resistance
values less than 1,000 ohms.
3. Measure the resistance of the sensor using an
ohmmeter and comparing actual and expected
values.
4. Replace the sensor if the measurement indicates:
a. open circuit (infinite resistance)
b. short circuit (zero resistance)
c. out of tolerance indicated for the sensor
