Product Description
The Commissioning Sensor is a cost-effective
discharge air sensor used with controllers. It is
designed to be installed quickly into metal ductwork
and to connect to the controller's auxiliary sensor port
to provide a discharge air temperature point for use
with automated commissioning tools. The sensor's
resistance varies proportionally to the actual duct air
temperature being measured.
NOTE: This sensor is not recommended for closed-
loop control or for applications where precise
temperature monitoring is required.
The shipping carton contains 50 Commissioning
Sensor Kits. Each kit contains one thermistor probe
with gasket assembly with 8-foot plenum-rated cable
and terminal plug. See Figure 1.

Product Numbers
QAM1030.008P50 10K Ω (orange leads)
QAM1035.008P50 100K Ω (brown leads)
NOTE: An RJ-11 jack SHOULD NOT be added to the
10K sensor leads for input into an RTS port
on a Siemens Terminal Equipment Controller.
The resulting sensor will not work in this
configuration, and is only designed for use by
an auxiliary input.
Item Number 129-096, Rev. AA
Required Tools
• Electric drill
• Eye Protection
• Drill Bit: 9/32” to 5/16”
Expected Installation Time
5 minutes
Prerequisites
• All wiring must conform to National Electrical
Code (NEC) and local codes and regulations.
• Terminal box and ductwork installed.
Installation
NOTE: Follow all safety regulations and local codes
when installing this equipment.
1. Determine a location for installation
downstream from the damper and temperature
control devices such as heating coils, etc.
Make sure the 8-foot cable can reach the
controller.
NOTE: A straight portion of duct works best to
ensure airflow over the sensor.
2. Wearing eye protection, drill a 9/32” to 5/16”
diameter hole in the duct where the sensor is to
be installed.
3. Press the thermistor probe into the hole until
the gasket is slightly compressed and the
thermistor probe is seated securely.
4. Plug the sensor cable terminal block into the
auxiliary AI point of the controller.
The installation is complete.
