KMC Controls STE-1401 Sensor
When you need reliable discharge or return air temperature monitoring, the KMC Controls STE-1401 is a standard-issue solution for commercial BAS applications. This 8-inch duct mount 10K sensor features a Type III 10,000 ohm thermistor, providing the high-impedance stability required for precise HVAC environmental control. Built with a 1/4-inch O.D. stainless steel probe, the assembly ensures rapid thermal response and resistance to corrosion in high-velocity ductwork. The STE-1401 duct temperature sensor includes a versatile flange mount for rigid installation and a 10-foot FT-6 plenum-rated cable (22 AWG), making it ready for immediate integration into your controller's analog input without additional field enclosures. Whether you are performing a retrofit or a new build, this 10K ohm Type III thermistor offers the industrial-grade accuracy necessary for maintaining tight setpoints and efficient air handling unit operation.
Key Benefits
- Precision Single-Point Sensing: The 8-inch rigid probe reaches deep into the air stream for an accurate representative sample of duct temperature.
- Durable Construction: Heavy-duty stainless steel housing protects the internal thermistor from vibration and moisture.
- Simplified Installation: Integrated flange mount with pre-drilled holes allows for secure, direct-to-duct attachment.
- Code Compliance: Includes a 10-foot plenum-rated lead, meeting strict safety standards for air-handling spaces.
- Universal Compatibility: The 10K Ohm Type III curve is a common standard for most building automation and DDC systems.
Common Questions
How do I install the STE-1401 sensor in a high-velocity duct?
Use the provided flange mount to secure the probe to the exterior of the duct. Ensure the probe is positioned in the center of the air stream, away from coils or humidifiers, to prevent localized temperature bias. The rigid 8-inch probe is designed to withstand standard commercial air velocities without deflecting.
Is the STE-1401 compatible with my DDC controller?
This sensor uses a 10,000 ohm Type III thermistor. Most modern HVAC controllers, including those from KMC, Honeywell, and Johnson Controls, support this resistance curve. Always verify your controller's input requirements for Type III versus Type II thermistors before wiring.
Can this sensor be used in outdoor air applications?
This specific model is engineered for duct mounting (internal). For outdoor air sensing, a model with a weatherproof enclosure and sun shield, such as those in the STE-1451 series, should be used to ensure protection from UV and precipitation.
