Tekmar Controls 081 Sensor Module
For contractors managing multiple hydronic or HVAC zones, the Tekmar Controls 081 Sensor Module is a critical accessory for streamlining outdoor temperature monitoring. This module integrates three 10 kΩ thermistors onto a single circuit board, allowing a technician to provide accurate ambient data to up to three independent controls from one centralized location. Designed specifically to mount within a Tekmar Outdoor Sensor 070 enclosure, the 081 replaces the single sensor typically found in the 070, effectively expanding the enclosure to house a total of four sensors (when combined with the original). This is an essential solution for multi-boiler plants or complex commercial projects where space and wiring efficiency are paramount. The sensors operate within a wide temperature range of -60°F to 140°F (-51°C to 60°C), ensuring reliable NTC thermistor performance in extreme climates. Each sensor features two dedicated terminals for clean wiring, and we recommend utilizing 18 AWG shielded cable or twisted pair in high-EMI environments to maintain signal integrity back to the primary heating control system.
Key Benefits
- High-Density Monitoring: Consolidates three 10k outdoor sensors into one footprint to reduce exterior building penetrations.
- Terminal Precision: Each of the three sensors is equipped with two separate terminals for straightforward wiring and troubleshooting.
- Rugged Compatibility: Engineered for seamless installation into the 070 Outdoor Sensor enclosure, maintaining a professional and protected finish.
- Wide Operating Range: Accurate temperature sensing from -60°F to 140°F, suitable for any geographical region.
- System Integration: Provides the high-precision resistance data required for modern outdoor reset controls and building management modules.
Common Questions
- Does the 081 include the 070 enclosure? No, the 81 is a sensor module only. It must be installed into a Tekmar 070 enclosure (sold separately).
- What type of wire should I use for long runs? Use 18 AWG copper wire. If you are running near power lines or in high EMI areas, use shielded cable and ground the shield to the control's common terminal.
- How do I verify if a sensor is functioning correctly? Use a high-quality multimeter to measure the resistance (kΩ) across the S-terminals and compare it against a standard 10k thermistor temperature-resistance chart.
