Temperature detector EK-STE-10K-3435

wall-mountedoutdoorKNX

Outdoor temperature sensor with NTC sensing element to be used in combination with Ekinex® KNX devices equipped with an analog input (or configurable as [AI]) to measure the temperature. The sensing element is protected by a plastic sheath and inserted in a housing with high degree of IP protection; the sensing element is positioned on the bottom of the housing, making this product particularly suitable for detecting the outdoor air mass temperature, for example to realize a compensated regulation or for measuring the outdoor temperature and send it on the KNX bus for information purposes. The housing, with cable gland, includes within it the connecting terminal block; the electrical connection with the Ekinex® KNX device is realized by a two-wire cable (not included in delivery). Sensing element: NTC (10 kΩ ±1% at 25°C, ß = 3435) Environmental and operating conditions: - operating temperature: −40°C...+100°C - relative humidity: 0...100% The ekinex® sensors are used to measure the temperature of the room air mass or of the conveying fl uid in heating / cooling systems; in combination with the devices of the ekinex® KNX range dedicated to the thermoregulation, they allow to optimize the operation of the heating and cooling system of the building, increasing the thermal comfort and exploiting all the energy saving opportunities. All ekinex® sensors are of a passive type using a NTC (Negative Temperature Coeffi cient) sensing element; the sensing element resistance decreases with increasing temperature.
