Installation - Universal Sensor Enclosure 080

The tekmar Universal Sensor Enclosure 080 provides a housing for the 071 sensor. The 080

also allows conduit to run directly to the sensor. The 080 enclosure is flame-retardant and

can withstand the high temperatures commonly found in hydronic systems.

If the sensor wires are run in conduit, an Universal Sensor

Enclosure 080 can be used to mount the sensor and provide

a connection for the conduit.

MOUNTING THE 080 DIRECTLY TO A PIPE

The Sensor 071 is placed into the sensor block with the flat side of the sensor facing the

pipe. The sensor and enclosure are strapped onto a 1” to 4” (25 to 100 mm) diameter pipe

with the cable tie provided. Make sure there is good contact between the sensor and the

pipe. Connect the sensor wires to the terminal block in the enclosure. The other side of the

terminal block is used to connect the wires from the control.

Using a Temperature Well If a Universal Sensor is mounted onto 1” (25 mm) diameter L type copper pipe, there is approximately an 8 second delay between a sudden change in water temperature and the time the sensor measures the temperature change. This delay increases considerably when mild steel (black iron) pipe is used. In general, it is recommended that a temperature well be used for steel pipe of diameter greater than 1-1/4” (32 mm).
