Temperature Sensors & Transmitters
Temperature sensors and transmitters are devices used to measure and transmit temperature data in various industrial, commercial, and scientific applications.
A temperature sensor can be classified into two main types: contact and non-contact sensors. Contact sensors, such as thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), are in direct contact with the object being measured and provide accurate temperature readings. Non-contact sensors, such as infrared sensors, use infrared radiation to measure temperature without the need for physical contact with the object.
A temperature transmitter converts the temperature data received from the sensors into electrical signals that can be transmitted to a control system, such as a PLC or DCS. It is commonly used in industrial automation applications, such as process control and monitoring.
One common type of temperature transmitter is the 4-20 mA transmitter. This type of transmitter converts the temperature data into a 4-20 mA current signal, which can be transmitted over long distances without loss of signal quality. Other types of temperature transmitters include thermocouple transmitters, RTD transmitters, and digital temperature transmitters.

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. Applications: Air Handlers, Roof Top Units, Mixed Air/Discharge/Supply Air Temperature Monitoring, Data Centers, Hospitals

The ACI Thermistor Flexible Averaging Series features an 18 AWG Plenum Rated cable sensing element with two, 12” 22 AWG Etched Teflon colored lead wires to differentiate the sensor types. The sensors in this series are multi-point. Averaging sensors provide a better overall average temperature of the actual air inside larger ducts when compared to that of a single point sensor. All flexible averaging sensors are limited to being used in applications where operating temperatures are limited and high humidity, chemical resistance, and UV light sources aren’t required. Each of the sensing elements is protected using a dual wall adhesive lined heat shrink tubing to provide a basic level of moisture protection. The sensor length should be determined by the size of your duct. Standard enclosure options include a galvanized junction box “-GD” or plastic duct enclosure with hinged cover “-PB”. Each unit includes nylon wire ties and mounts for mounting. Optional copper capillary or universal plastic mounting clips, NEMA/IP Weather proof enclosures and NIST Certificates are available as referenced in the ordering grid on the back of the product data sheet. Applications: Air Handlers, Roof Top Units, Mixed Air/Discharge/Supply Air Temperature Monitoring, Data Centers, Hospitals

The ACI Relative Humidity with Thermistor Outside Air Series utilizes a thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element with factory applied hygroscopic filter to deliver a proportional analog current or voltage output signal. The hygroscopic filter provides added resistance to moisture, dust, and other chemicals for greater long term reliability. The RH Outside Air transmitter features integral DIP switches for field selection of the proper output signal and supply voltage to meet your applications requirements. Each unit also contains 0%, 50%, and 100% test options to verify that the transmitter is both working and wired properly. Field calibration also can be performed by using the increment and decrement calibration DIP switches without the need to replace the sensing element. These enhancements provide increased flexibility and outstanding long-term reliability. Outside Air configurations feature a weatherproof Euro style enclosure with gasketed cover and conformally coated circuit boards for added moisture and chemical resistance. Three and Five-point NIST Calibration Certificates are available upon request but they must be ordered separately. Applications: Monitor Outdoor Air Humidity, Economizer Control, Psychrometric calculations such as Enthalpy and Dew point, Wash down Applications

The ACI Thermistor Duct Series features a stainless steel probe with two, 22 AWG Etched Teflon colored lead wires to differentiate the different sensor types. The sensors in this series are manufactured using ACI’s proved double encapsulation process to eliminate the effects of moisture on the sensors and increased response times from our high quality, thermally conductive epoxy. The duct sensor is designed to be used in smaller duct applications and includes an insulation pad for sealing your duct and dampening vibration. The sensor length should be determined by the width or diameter of your duct such that the tip of the probe reaches the approximate center of the duct. Our standard enclosure options are the galvanized enclosure “-GD” or plastic duct enclosure with hinged cover “-PB”. On larger ducts, you may want to refer to our Rigid or Bendable Copper Averaging sensor for increased sensing points and better temperature control. This series can be ordered with optional NEMA/IP rated weather proof enclosures and NIST certificates as referenced on the back of the product data sheet. Applications: Roof Top Units, Air Handlers, Supply/Discharge/Return/Mixed Air Temperatures
