Automation Components Inc ACI/10K-AN-BC-RS Temp Sensor

The Automation Components Inc ACI/10K-AN-BC-RS is a high-precision 10K Ohm Type III thermistor specifically engineered for commercial HVAC room temperature monitoring. This non-polar, 2-wire analog sensor provides a stable resistance output of 10,000 Ohms at 25°C (77°F), making it a standard choice for Building Automation Systems (BAS) and direct digital control (DDC) applications. Constructed with a durable NEMA 1 rated plastic enclosure, the unit features a sophisticated four-way airflow design that actively minimizes self-heating, ensuring the NTC temperature sensor delivers high-accuracy environmental data within a 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C) operating range.

Designed for professional field installation, the ACI/10K-AN-BC-RS mounts easily to a standard single gang junction box or directly to the wall surface using the included hardware. The low-profile room sensor utilizes a 22 AWG terminal block connection, supporting wire runs of 16 to 26 AWG twisted pair. For contractors looking to eliminate thermal interference from wall cavities, this analog temperature transmitter is compatible with optional foam insulating pads. This specific HVAC thermistor model ensures reliable building management system integration across diverse facility zones, including offices, classrooms, and retail spaces, where aesthetic integration and long-term signal stability are critical.

• High Accuracy: Features a 10K-AN Type III thermistor element providing ±0.36°F (0.2°C) precision for tight climate control.
• Advanced Enclosure: The "R" style beige housing incorporates a vented airflow system to prevent stagnant air pockets and reduce sensor lag.
• Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly interfaces with most major BAS and DDC controllers requiring a standard 10K Ohm Type 3 resistive input.
• Simplified Installation: Supports direct-wall or 2x4 box mounting with a non-polarity sensitive 2-wire termination.
• Durable Construction: Built with robust ABS plastic and a compact form factor for long-term performance in high-traffic commercial environments.

• What is the difference between Type II and Type III 10K sensors? The Type III curve used in the ACI/10K-AN-BC-RS features a different resistance-to-temperature slope than Type II; always verify your controller’s input requirements to ensure accurate scaling.
• Can this sensor be used for temperature averaging? Yes, multiple 10K Ohm room sensors can be wired in parallel/series configurations to provide an average zone temperature for large open-plan spaces.
• Does the mounting location affect accuracy? Air migration from behind wall cavities can skew readings; we recommend sealing conduit penetrations or using a foam backing pad for optimal thermal sensing.
