Tekmar Controls 072 Slab Sensor
The Tekmar Controls 072 Slab Sensor is a precision-engineered 10,000 ohm NTC thermistor designed specifically for demanding radiant heating and snow melting applications. Encased in a rugged, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sleeve, this direct burial sensor is built to withstand the alkalinity of concrete and the moisture of soil, ensuring reliable thermal feedback for your control logic. With a broad operating range of -60°F to 140°F, it provides the accurate data required to optimize system efficiency and prevent slab damage from thermal shock. The included 20-foot jacketed two-conductor cable simplifies slab temperature sensor installation by providing ample reach to junction boxes without the need for immediate splicing. For professional-grade results, we recommend installing the Tekmar 072 within a 1/2" conduit to allow for future maintenance while maintaining excellent thermal conductivity. This sensor is functionally compatible with most 10K Ohm Type 2 thermistor controls, making it a versatile tool for any hydronic or electric snow melting system.
Key Benefits for the Job Site:
- Engineered for Durability: The moisture-resistant HDPE sleeve allows for direct burial in concrete or soil without degradation.
- Extended Installation Reach: Supplied with 20 feet of factory-jacketed wire, reducing on-site splicing labor.
- High Precision Sensing: Features 10k ohm NTC thermistor specifications for accurate resistance-to-temperature conversion.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for monitoring slab temperatures in radiant floor heat systems and commercial snow melting slabs.
- Certified Reliability: CSA C US certified to meet rigorous performance standards in both residential and commercial HVACR environments.
Common Questions & Technical Support:
Can I extend the 20-foot cable if needed?
Yes, you can extend the lead wire up to 500 feet using 18 AWG shielded or twisted pair wire. Ensure all splices are soldered and housed in a waterproof junction box to prevent resistance drift.
Should I bury the sensor directly in the concrete?
While the Tekmar 072 is rated for direct burial, industry best practice is to install it in a conduit. This protects the sensor and allows for easy replacement if the slab shifts or the control requirements change.
Is this sensor compatible with non-Tekmar thermostats?
Most HVAC controls requiring a 10K Ohm Type 2 NTC thermistor will accept the 072. However, always verify the resistance curve in the control's technical submittal before installation.
