Tekmar Controls 071 Universal Sensor
The Tekmar Controls 071 Universal Sensor is a professional-grade 10k ohm NTC thermistor designed for precision temperature monitoring in hydronic heating and cooling systems. Engineered with a corrosion-resistant brass sleeve, this sensor provides rapid thermal response times and high accuracy of +/- 0.2°C at 77°F. Its versatile design allows for broad HVAC universal sensor applications, including boiler supply sensing, return water monitoring, and slab temperature tracking. The 071 features a wide operating range from -60 to 255°F (-51 to 125°C), making it compatible with various environmental conditions. Supplied with 12-inch, 20 AWG XLPE wire leads, it can be easily extended using 18 AWG shielded cable to prevent electromagnetic interference when run near high-voltage lines. Whether strapped to a pipe or inserted into a temperature immersion well, the Tekmar 071 remains the standard for 10k NTC thermistor HVAC performance in residential and commercial building automation.
Key Benefits- Enhanced Thermal Conductivity: The brass housing ensures fast heat transfer for real-time control adjustments.
- Flexible Mounting: Compatible with 3/8-inch OD wells or can be strapped directly to piping with cable ties and insulation.
- High Interchangeability: Precisely follows the standard 10k ohm resistance curve, serving as a reliable Tekmar replacement sensor.
- Rugged Durability: Built to withstand high-temperature hydronic environments without signal degradation.
How do I test if the Tekmar 071 sensor is functioning correctly?
Disconnect the sensor leads from the control and use a digital multimeter set to ohms to measure the resistance. At 77°F (25°C), the Universal Sensor 071 should read exactly 10,000 ohms. Compare your reading against a standard 10k resistance chart to verify accuracy.
Can I extend the 12-inch wire leads?
Yes, the leads can be extended using 18 AWG copper wire. In environments with high EMI, use shielded twisted pair wiring and ground the shield at the control's common terminal to maintain signal integrity.
Is this sensor suitable for outdoor use?
While the 071 thermistor is robust, it is intended for mounting in wells, on pipes, or within enclosures like the Tekmar 080. For direct outdoor exposure, an enclosure is recommended to protect against moisture and UV damage.
