Overview
The 501-1121 is CPC’s general purpose temperature
sensor. It is suited for a wide variety of applications.
The temperature sensor has a 10KΩ thermistor. The Sensor Clamp
thermistor is enclosed in a nickel-plated brass shell
with epoxy. The sensor has a green 10’ pigtail. The
wire is a 22 AWG CL3X cord with 2 conductors. The
cable is UL rated for 194°F (90°C). The sensor has
been tested by CPC to maintain less than 0.72°F error
