Johnson Controls TE-6000-10 Sensing Element

The Johnson Controls TE-6000-10 is a high-precision 1000 ohm nickel temperature sensing element designed specifically for surface mounting applications in commercial HVAC systems. Encased in a rugged aluminum mounting block, this thin-film sensing element ensures rapid thermal transfer and accurate temperature tracking of pipes, ducts, or flat surfaces. Featuring a tight ± 1% resistance tolerance, the TE-6000-10 provides the reliable feedback necessary for proportional controllers and building automation systems that utilize nickel RTD curves. This passive temperature sensor includes two wire leads for straightforward integration into existing control loops. As a direct OEM replacement sensing element, it offers a linear output characteristic typical of Johnson Controls sensing technology, making it a staple for technicians maintaining precise environmental setpoints in complex air handling and hydronic configurations. Its low-profile design allows for installation in tight mechanical spaces where traditional probe sensors are impractical.

Key Benefits

• High Accuracy: The 1% resistance tolerance provides consistent 1000 ohm nominal resistance for tight control deadbands.
• Optimized Thermal Conductivity: The aluminum block housing maximizes surface contact for fast response times.
• Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with Johnson Controls System 350 and other controllers requiring a nickel sensing element.
• Durable Construction: Encapsulated design protects the sensitive thin-film trace from environmental contaminants and mechanical stress.

Common Questions

What is the resistance curve for the TE-6000-10?
This unit follows the standard 1k ohm nickel temperature-resistance curve, increasing in resistance as temperatures rise, compatible with legacy and modern JCI analog inputs.

Can this be used for immersion applications?
No, this is specifically a surface mount temperature sensor. For fluid immersion, a dedicated well-style probe should be utilized to prevent moisture ingress.

Does the mounting block require thermal paste?
While the aluminum block is designed for direct contact, applying a thin layer of thermal conductive grease can further improve response time on uneven piping surfaces.
