Tekmar Controls 086 Sensor
The Tekmar Controls 086 Sensor is a precision-engineered flush mount humidity sensor designed for seamless integration with select Tekmar thermostats. This dual-purpose component features a 10,000 ohm NTC thermistor for high-accuracy temperature monitoring alongside a capacitive 0-90% humidity sensor. Operating within a 15 to 140°F range, the 086 utilizes a NEMA 1 enclosure made of white PC-ABS plastic, making it ideal for residential and commercial indoor environments. Its low-profile 1-7/16-inch outer diameter ensures a discreet installation that blends into any wall surface while providing critical data for advanced HVAC automation and indoor air quality management. The sensor operates on a 2.7 to 5.5 V (dc) power supply with minimal current draw, ensuring consistent signal stability. Specifically compatible with control systems like the Tekmar 561, 562, and 563 WiFi thermostats, this sensor is a rugged choice for contractors looking to provide remote sensing capabilities in building automation or chlorinated swimming pool environments.
Key Benefits
- Integrates a 10k NTC thermistor and 0-90% relative humidity sensor into a single, compact unit for multi-variable sensing.
- Features a flush mount design that provides a clean, professional finish without the bulk of traditional surface-mounted sensors.
- Engineered with a NEMA 1 rating and durable PC-ABS plastic for long-term reliability in varying indoor conditions.
- Optimized for low-power consumption with a 0.5 mA maximum rating, maintaining high impedance for accurate signal transmission.
- Resistant to chlorinated environments, making it suitable for indoor pool equipment rooms or high-end residential hydronic systems.
Common Questions
How do I ensure the sensor readings remain accurate over time?
To maintain precision, ensure the environmental sensor is installed away from direct sunlight, drafts, or concentrated heat sources. The NTC thermistor and humidity element are calibrated for non-condensing environments; avoid exposure to ammonia or concentrated alcohols which can degrade sensing accuracy.
Which Tekmar thermostats are compatible with the 086 model?
This sensor is designed for select Tekmar Controls that support auxiliary humidity inputs. Common compatible units include the 561, 562, and 563 series thermostats and other modern HVAC ductless mini-split or hydronic control interfaces.
Can this sensor be used in agricultural or industrial applications?
While the 086 is robust, it should not be used in animal barns where ammonia is present. It is perfectly suited for multifamily homes, single-family residences, and commercial building environmental monitors.
