Johnson Controls TE-6315P-1 Temperature Sensor

The Johnson Controls TE-6315P-1 is a professional-grade duct averaging temperature sensor engineered for precise thermal monitoring in large-scale air handling units and ductwork. This 1k ohm nickel RTD sensor features an 8-foot flexible element designed to cross-section the airflow, providing a true average temperature reading that eliminates errors caused by thermal stratification. Built for demanding commercial environments, the assembly includes a rigid thermoplastic conduit box with a 1/2-14 NPT female thread, ensuring a secure and standardized connection to electrical conduit systems. The TE-6315P-1 is a standard integration component for building automation systems (BAS), providing high-accuracy resistance output to HVAC temperature controls without the need for additional signal transducers. Contractors often utilize this model in VAV and AHU discharge air applications where fluctuating air temperatures necessitate a multi-point sensing approach to maintain optimal environmental stability.

Key Benefits

• Averaging Accuracy: The 8-foot flexible nickel sensing element provides a composite resistance value, ensuring accurate data in stratified air streams.
• Industrial-Grade Enclosure: Features a high-impact rigid thermoplastic conduit box that protects wiring terminals and provides a robust 1/2-14 NPT hub.
• Seamless Integration: Low-voltage, two-wire passive output is natively compatible with a wide range of Johnson Controls and third-party HVAC sensors and controllers.
• Flexible Installation: Includes an aluminum mounting plate for rapid attachment to duct surfaces, reducing labor time during field commissioning.

Common Questions

How do I ensure the sensor meets plenum requirements?
While the standard unit features a thermoplastic cover, it can be upgraded to meet UL 1995 plenum standards by replacing the cover with a Johnson Controls TE-6001-13 metal kit if required by local mechanical codes.

What is the sensing range of the nickel RTD element?
The TE-6315P-1 is designed for reliable performance within an ambient temperature range of -50 to 220?F (-46 to 104?C), making it suitable for both heating and cooling stages.

Can the element be cut to a shorter length?
The probe length is fixed at 8 feet for the averaging function; if a shorter probe is required for specific discharge air applications, a rigid duct probe model should be specified instead.
