The ACI Balco Outside Air Series features a weather proof European Style Plastic enclosure with twist off cover and water tight cord grip. The sensing element contains two, 14” 22 AWG Etched Teflon colored lead wires to differentiate the sensor types. All sensors in this series are manufactured using ACI’s proven double encapsulation process to eliminate the effects of moisture on the sensors as well as to increase the thermal response time using high quality, thermally conductive epoxy. The outdoor air sensor is a single point sensor designed to be mounted under an eave or on the North side of a building in a shaded location with the sensing tube pointed downward to prevent any water or ice from settling in the sensing tube. Optional NEMA 4X “-4X” plastic or NEMA 3R rated “-BB” Aluminum enclosures and NIST Certificates are available as referenced in the ordering information on the back of the product data sheet. For Applications in which the sensor must be mounted in direct sunlight, please see the Sun Shield data sheet which will allow you to order a Temperature or Temperature/Humidity Combination sensor. Applications: Outside Air Temperature Sensing, Cold Storage Facilities, High Dew Point/Condensing Environments, Wash Down Environments
