Temperature/Sensors
ONICON Standard Temperature Sensors (32°F – 200° F)
Pair of solid state temperature sensors with 0 – 20 mA outputs. Suitable for use
with fluid temperatures up to 200° F.
Platinum RTD Temperature Sensors (32°F – 250° F)
Pair of 4-wire 1000 Ω Platinum RTD temperature sensors. Suitable for use with
fluid temperatures up to 250° F.
Please refer to ONICON’s System-20 product literature, or contact ONICON for
help in selecting the temperature sensors and thermowells that will best fit your
requirements.
The System-20 was designed for installation and use in typical domestic and
commercial environments that are free of corrosive liquids and fumes, direct
liquid exposure, temperature extremes and vibrations.
The operating ambient air temperature range is -13°F to 140° F. The electrical
power should be relatively clean, free of high frequency noise, large voltage
transients, and protected from power surges and brown outs.
CAUTION (5)
The System-20 battery cannot be retrofitted or replaced. Risk of fire
explosion, and burns. DO NOT recharge, disassemble, crush, heat above
212°F (100°C) or incinerate. Please check your local ordinances for
information concerning battery disposal.
IMPORTANT NOTE (6)
The System-20 may be installed outdoors in protected spaces away from
direct sunlight, rain, sleet or snow.
