Sensors
Page 1 of 4
Product Description
These sensors allow users to view and adjust points
in the controller using the sensor buttons and digital
display.
These sensors work with Siemens controllers, and
use a 10K Ω thermistor to detect temperature. The
effective sensing and set point range is 55 to 95°F
(13 to 35°C).
The 587-612B includes an integral fan speed switch
that allows users to override the ventilation fan.
These sensors can be mounted on electrical boxes,
stud-type mounting brackets, or drywall. Obtain the
necessary mounting hardware and follow the
appropriate mounting procedures for the type of
installation required.
