TEMPERATURE
RESISTANCE
The temperature sensors used in the Modulex boiler are 5k Ohm Negative Temperature Coefficient
(NTC). The relationship between temperature (°F or °C) and the nominal resistance (Ohms) of the
sensor are inversely proportional. That is; when temperature increases, sensor resistance decreases
and vice versa.
For Example:
At 77°F (25°C), the resistance is 5000 Ohms
At 194°F (90°C), the resistance is 458 Ohms
