INSTALLATION DATA

1309007-048
ETC IP67 Temperature SENSOR

APPLICATION
The Ranco® 1309007-048 thermistor sensor is used with the ETC family
of electronic temperature controls and supports a temperature range
of -30°F to 220°F.
The sensor can be used for air, duct or spot sensing. It can also be used
in bulb wells for immersion applications. Multiple sensors can be wired
in a series/parallel arrangement for sensing average temperature. For
each number of sensors wired in series, an equal number must be
wired in parallel. (Wiring diagram for averaging is shown in Figure 5.)
The 1309007-048 sensor is designed for use ONLY with Ranco Type
ETCtemperature regulating controls. Where a control or sensor
failure could result in personal injury and/or loss of property, it is the
responsibility of the installer to add devices (safety, limit controls) or
systems (alarm, supervisory systems) that protect against, or warn of
failure.

SPECIFICATIONS
The 1309007-048 sensor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC)
thermistor sensor. The sensor resistance decreases with temperature
increase. It is .25” x 1.94” long with 8 ft. #22 AWG cable. The thermistor
has a reference resistance of 30,000 ohms at 77°F (25°C). Figure 1

SENSOR MOUNTING
For space sensing, mount the sensor where it will be unaffected by
heat/cool discharge or radiated heat sources. Spot sensing requires the
sensor to be in good contact with the surface being sensed. The sensor
can be inserted in a bulb well for immersion sensing.
 Sensor Replacement
IMPORTANT ETC models are available with Quick Connect Sensor feature that allows
for easy sensor replacement due to damage or wear.
