Danfoss 013G-8568 Sensor And Dial
The Danfoss 013G-8568 is a professional-grade RA2000 wall mount operator featuring a combined remote temperature sensor and dial. Designed for high-performance hydronic and low-pressure steam systems, this unit utilizes a liquid-filled sensor and a 26-foot capillary tube, providing technicians with maximum flexibility when the radiator or convector is recessed or obstructed by cabinetry. The integrated setpoint dial allows for precise adjustments ranging from 46°F to 82°F (8°C to 28°C), ensuring accurate modulating control of space temperatures. This sensor is fully compatible with the Danfoss RA2000 valve series, employing a standard RA connection for a secure, tool-free installation. By moving the sensing element away from the heat source and into the occupied space, it eliminates the common issue of short-cycling caused by localized heat gain at the valve body. Its robust construction and frost protection setting make it an essential component for optimizing radiator thermostat performance in commercial and residential HVACR applications.
Key Benefits- Extended 26-foot Capillary: Facilitates remote sensing in large enclosures or behind architectural features where standard valve-mounted sensors fail to read accurately.
- Precise Modulating Control: Uses a specialized liquid-filled element to provide responsive, proportional flow adjustment based on actual room temperature.
- Universal Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Danfoss RA2000 radiator valves used in two-pipe steam and hot water systems.
- Energy Efficiency: Prevents overheating and reduces fuel consumption by ensuring the system reacts to representative ambient air rather than radiant heat from the pipework.
- Frost Protection: Includes a dedicated setting to maintain minimum flow, protecting pipes from freezing during unoccupied periods.
- How do I install the Danfoss 013G-8568 26-foot sensor? The dial and sensor housing mount directly to a wall or enclosure using the included hardware, while the capillary is routed back to the RA2000 valve body.
- Can this sensor be used with one-pipe steam systems? This model is primarily designed for two-pipe low-pressure steam and hydronic radiator systems where a modulating valve is required.
- What is the temperature adjustment range? The dial is calibrated for a setpoint range of 46°F to 82°F, covering standard comfort requirements.
