Johnson Controls TE-6311V-2 Temperature Sensor

The Johnson Controls TE-6311V-2 is a high-precision 1k ohm nickel temperature sensor designed for accurate duct air monitoring in VAV and light commercial HVAC systems. Featuring an 8-inch stainless steel probe, this unit offers superior corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity compared to standard elements. As the direct replacement for TE-6311V-1, it maintains full backward compatibility while benefiting from the updated TE-6300 Series design, which includes an integral stainless steel mounting flange for simplified installation. The sensor is pre-wired with 10 feet of plenum-rated cable and 1/4-inch female insulated quick-connect terminations, ensuring it meets UL 1995 plenum use requirements right out of the box. Rated at 1,000 ohms at 70?F (21?C), this HVAC duct probe provides the stable resistance-temperature (R/T) characteristics necessary for reliable building automation inputs. Contractors can rely on its 1k nickel RTD element for consistent performance in high-demand environments where precise thermal feedback is critical for system efficiency.

Key Benefits for Technicians

• Simplified Retrofitting: Operates as a seamless TE-6311V-1 replacement with the same 1k ohm nickel resistance curve, eliminating the need for controller re-calibration.
• Durable Construction: The 304 stainless steel probe and mounting flange provide long-term protection against oxidation in high-moisture air streams.
• Code Compliance: Includes 10 feet of pre-installed plenum-rated lead wire, meeting safety standards for installation in environmental air spaces.
• Precision Accuracy: High-tolerance nickel sensing element ensures tight control loops and optimized energy management in VAV boxes.

Common Questions for TE-6311V-2

Is the TE-6311V-2 compatible with older TE-6311V-1 installations?
Yes, this model is the official successor. It utilizes the same 1000 ohm nickel reference at 70?F, meaning it works with existing Johnson Controls or third-party controllers calibrated for that specific RTD type.

Does this sensor require a separate mounting kit?
No, the TE-6311V-2 includes a built-in flange mount and two hex-head self-drilling screws for immediate attachment to sheet metal ductwork.

Can I use this in return air or supply air ducts?
This 8-inch duct sensor is suitable for both, provided the probe depth is sufficient to reach the representative airflow center for an accurate reading.
