Aprilaire 8051 Temp Sensor

Aprilaire 8051 Temp Sensor

Enhance your HVAC system's efficiency and maintain precise zone control with the Aprilaire 8051 Temp Sensor. This wall mount temp sensor is specifically engineered to provide remote temperature sensing for compatible Aprilaire thermostats, including the Model 8570, 8870, and various 8061/8062 support modules. Featuring a low-profile flush mount temperature sensor design, the 1.5-inch diameter disk fits securely into a 1-inch opening, offering a virtually invisible appearance that can be painted or wallpapered to match any interior. By monitoring the thermal environment from an optimal indoor temperature sensor location, you can override or average the thermostat's local reading to eliminate hot or cold spots in residential or light commercial spaces. The Aprilaire 8051 utilizes a 10k ohm thermistor with a tolerance of ±3%, ensuring accurate data transmission over distances up to 300 feet using standard 18-2 shielded wire or Cat 5 cabling.

Key Benefits
  • Discreet Integration: The flush-mount disk sits nearly flush with the drywall, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your room.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with Aprilaire 8000 series thermostats and 8081/8082 automation modules.
  • Customizable Finish: The sensor face is fully paintable, allowing it to blend into high-end residential or professional office decor.
  • Improved Comfort: Enables temperature averaging across multiple rooms when paired with support modules, preventing uneven heating and cooling.
  • Simple Installation: Utilizes a friction-fit design in a standard 1-inch hole, requiring no additional fasteners or complex hardware.
Common Questions

Can the Aprilaire 8051 be installed on an exterior wall?
It is recommended to install the sensor on an interior wall in a frequently occupied space, at least 18 inches away from outside walls, to prevent inaccurate readings caused by outdoor thermal transfer.

What type of wire is required for the 8051 sensor?
For optimal performance, use 18-2 shielded wire or Cat 5 (or higher) cabling. The maximum allowable wire length between the sensor and the thermostat or module is 300 feet.

Does the sensor require a power source?
The sensor is a passive 10k ohm thermistor that receives a 24 VAC signal from the connected thermostat or support module; it does not require an independent external power supply.
