Designed for large-duct mixed air monitoring, this averaging duct temperature sensor reads -40 to 302°F (-40 to 150°C) along 24' (7.3 m) of copper element with a 10 kΩ type III NTC thermistor. In addition, nine sensing points average the full duct cross-section. It includes nylon wire ties and mounts and a plenum-rated ABS plastic enclosure.

The ACI Thermistor Copper Averaging Series features a copper sensing element with AWG Etched Teflon colored lead wires to differentiate the different sensor types. Each sensor is manufactured with 4 or 9 sensing points determined by the length of the sensing element. The averaging sensors provide a better average temperature of the air inside the duct when compared to a single point duct sensor.
Each of the elements is sealed to prevent moisture intrusion and includes a foam pad to seal the duct and dampen vibrations. The benefits of using a copper sensing element is that it has improved thermal conductivity and higher corrosion resistance than similar aluminum style averaging sensors. Additionally, copper has been proven to have an antibacterial effect to many of the airborne contaminants, mold and bacteria found in duct systems.
Our standard enclosures include the galvanized “-GD” or plastic duct enclosure with hinged cover “-PB”. Each unit includes nylon wire ties and mounts with optional copper capillary and universal plastic mounting clips, NEMA/IP Rated Weather Proof enclosures and NIST certificates as referenced on the back of the product data sheet.
