Temperature Sensors – Qty (1) Required for
Hot Water Boilers, Optional for Other Applications
One temperature sensor is needed
to measure water temperature on hot water boilers.
Additionally, one may be needed for low fire hold on a steam boiler, hot standby on a steam
boiler, or ambient and stack temperatures for efficiency calculations or FGR hold features. The
most commonly used temperature sensors are listed below. For a list of all temperature sensor
options as well as technical instructions for all available temperature sensors, refer to
Document No. SEN-1000.
