Tekmar Controls 070 Outdoor Sensor
The Tekmar Controls 070 Outdoor Sensor is a professional-grade 10k ohm NTC thermistor designed for precision temperature monitoring in hydronic and HVAC applications. Engineered for outdoor temperature reset systems, this sensor provides the critical data required for weather-responsive control logic, optimizing boiler firing rates and system efficiency. The 070 features an NTC thermistor 10k ohms @ 77°F with a Beta of 3892, ensuring linear accuracy across a wide operating range of -60°F to 140°F (-51°C to 60°C). Housed in a white, UV-resistant PVC enclosure with a NEMA 2 rating, it is built to withstand harsh environmental exposure without signal degradation. The design includes a removable bottom plug for 1/2-inch conduit and back-wiring access, offering flexible HVAC sensor installation for residential, multifamily, and commercial building automation systems.
Key Benefits for Contractors
- Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with Tekmar controls and various third-party thermostats requiring a 10k NTC temperature sensor.
- High Precision: Maintains a tolerance of +/- 0.2°C at 77°F, reducing errors in outdoor reset control calculations.
- Rugged Housing: The UV-resistant white PVC enclosure prevents solar loading issues and ensures long-term structural integrity on building exteriors.
- Installation Flexibility: Compact footprint (2-5/8" H x 1-9/16" W) allows for low-profile outdoor sensor mounting with multiple wiring entry points.
Common Questions
What is the resistance rating of the Tekmar 070?
This is a standard 10,000 ohm NTC thermistor calibrated for 10k ohms at 25°C (77°F).
Can this sensor be used for indoor applications?
While optimized for outdoor air temperature sensing, it provides accurate readings in any environment within its -60°F to 140°F range, provided the NEMA 2 enclosure meets the site requirements.
Does it support conduit connections?
Yes, the unit features a removable bottom plug that facilitates standard conduit connections for protected wiring runs.
