Johnson Controls TE-6316M-1 Temperature Sensor

The Johnson Controls TE-6316M-1 is a high-performance duct averaging temperature sensor designed for precise air profile monitoring in large-scale air handling units and commercial HVAC systems. Featuring a 1K Ohm Nickel element and an expansive 17-foot probe length, this sensor provides superior resistance-based feedback compared to single-point probes. The flexible copper capillary sensing element is ideal for applications requiring averaging temperature sensing across the entire cross-section of a duct to account for thermal stratification. This model is housed in a rugged metal enclosure with an adjustable mount, ensuring it stands up to the vibration and pressure of high-velocity airflow. As part of the TE-6300 series, it integrates seamlessly into Building Automation Systems (BAS) using RTD technology to provide accurate data for supply, return, and mixed air management. For technicians requiring plenum-rated temperature sensors that meet UL 1995 standards, the TE-6316M-1 delivers the reliability needed for critical environmental control.

• Durable Construction: The corrosion-protected steel enclosure and copper capillary are built for long-term industrial durability.
• Flexible Installation: Includes an adjustable mounting flange and self-drilling screws for secure attachment to various duct configurations.
• NEMA 1 Rating: Meets standard requirements for indoor HVAC duct mount sensors while providing protection for internal wiring.

Common Questions

What is the resistance value of the TE-6316M-1?
This is a 1000 Ohm nickel RTD sensor, providing a specific resistance output at 70?F (21?C) compatible with most Johnson Controls and third-party BAS controllers.

Can this sensor be used in plenum spaces?
Yes, the TE-6316M-1 is designed to meet UL 1995 plenum use requirements, making it safe for installation in return air systems and ceiling voids.

Is the sensing element flexible?
The 17-foot probe is a flexible copper capillary, allowing you to snake the sensor across the duct face for the most accurate averaging of air temperatures.
