Johnson Controls TE-6000-6 Sensing Element

The Johnson Controls TE-6000-6 is a professional-grade temperature sensing element engineered specifically for high-demand solar heating applications and electronic control systems. Featuring a 1000 Ohm nickel element, this component provides a positive temperature coefficient (PTC), increasing resistance at a precise rate of 3 ohms per degree Fahrenheit to ensure accurate data transmission to your HVAC controller. Built with a black anodized aluminum probe, the TE-6000-6 is designed for durability in environments with temperatures ranging from -40 to 350?F (-40 to 177?C).

This HVAC sensor maintains a tight ?1.0% resistance tolerance at 70?F, making it a reliable choice for contractors managing differential temperature control in solar thermal arrays. The simple two-wire lead configuration (18 AWG) allows for straightforward field connection without the need for complex calibration. For optimal performance in electrically noisy environments, using shielded cable is recommended to prevent electromagnetic interference from disrupting sensor signals. Whether you are performing a sensor replacement or a new system HVAC installation, this element ensures your solar heating system operates with maximum precision.

• High-Temperature Rating: Engineered to withstand solar application extremes up to 350?F (177?C).
• Precision Nickel Element: 1000 Ohm reference at 70?F provides consistent thermal resistance tracking.
• Rugged Construction: Features a black anodized aluminum probe for enhanced heat absorption and corrosion resistance.
• Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with standard Johnson Controls electronic controllers and analog inputs.
• Flexible Mounting: Not position-sensitive; can be integrated into various TE-6001 hardware assemblies for duct or immersion use.

What is the resistance of the TE-6000-6 at room temperature?
The nominal resistance is 1,000 Ohms at 70?F (21?C). As an HVAC technician, you can verify functionality by measuring resistance; expect a change of approximately 3 ohms per ?F.

Can this sensor be used for standard space sensing?
While it can function in lower temperatures, the TE-6000-6 is specifically optimized for solar heating applications. For standard room or duct sensing where high-heat durability isn't required, other models in the TE-6000 series may be more cost-effective.

What wiring distance is supported?
Standard 18 AWG wiring is typically sufficient for runs up to 300 feet. For longer distances or runs near high-voltage lines, shielded cable should be utilized to maintain signal integrity.
