Automation Components Inc (ACI) A/AN-D-6-PB Sensor
The ACI A/AN-D-6-PB, also identified as the 10K-AN-D6PB, is a 10K Ohm Type III Thermistor engineered specifically for high-accuracy duct temperature monitoring in commercial BAS and light industrial HVAC applications. Featuring a 6-inch stainless steel probe, this negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensor provides precise thermal feedback for zone control and air handling unit (AHU) management. To ensure long-term reliability in environments prone to condensation, the sensing element is double encapsulated to prevent moisture infiltration and premature signal drift. The plastic duct mount enclosure includes an integrated mounting flange and a pre-installed foam pad to effectively dampen mechanical vibrations. For streamlined field service, the housing utilizes an easy open/close latch system, eliminating the need for screws during wiring or inspection. This sensor is a direct-fit solution for contractors requiring a robust 10K-AN thermistor that thrives in high-demand building automation environments.
Key Benefits- Moisture Protection: Double-encapsulated sensing element prevents failure from thermal cycling and humidity.
- Vibration Dampening: Integrated foam pad stabilizes the probe against high-velocity airflow.
- Tool-less Access: Quick-latch enclosure simplifies installation and reduces labor time.
- Direct Compatibility: Matches industry-standard 10K Type III resistance curves for seamless integration.
Is the A/AN-D-6-PB compatible with legacy 10K Ohm Type III systems?
Yes, this duct temperature sensor follows the standard 10K Type III resistance curve, making it compatible with most major BAS controllers that require a 10K-AN thermistor.
How does the 6-inch probe length impact accuracy?
The 6-inch probe is designed to reach the center of standard ductwork, ensuring the thermistor captures the average air temperature rather than the stagnant air near the duct wall.
Can this sensor be used in high-vibration AHU applications?
Absolutely. The combined mounting flange and foam gasket are specifically engineered to isolate the sensor from mechanical vibrations that could otherwise degrade the electrical connections.
