Johnson Controls TE-6311M-1 Duct Sensor

As a seasoned technician, you know that consistent data is the backbone of any reliable building automation system. The Johnson Controls TE-6311M-1 is a professional-grade 8-inch duct temperature sensor designed for high-accuracy air handling applications. This unit features a 1k ohm nickel RTD element (specifically 1,000 ohms at 70?F), providing a linear and stable resistance output that ensures your controller receives precise environmental data. Built with a rugged metal enclosure, the TE-6311M-1 meets strict plenum rating requirements for installation in commercial air ducts and utility spaces. The stainless steel probe offers superior corrosion resistance against moisture and particulate matter within the airstream. For a clean, efficient install, the kit includes two hex-head self-drilling screws, allowing you to secure the 1k Ni RTD sensor directly to the ductwork. Whether you are performing a retrofit or a new system integration, this duct mount temperature sensor delivers the industrial durability and BAS compatibility required for mission-critical HVACR monitoring.

Key Benefits for the Contractor

• Industrial Durability: Features a stainless steel insertion probe and a corrosion-protected metal conduit box for long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Plenum Rated Performance: Designed to meet UL 1995 requirements, making it suitable for mounting in air handling spaces and plenums.
• Simplified Installation: Single-assembly ordering includes all necessary mounting hardware to reduce commissioning time on the job site.
• High Sensitivity: The 1k ohm nickel element provides a consistent response of approximately 3 ohms per degree Fahrenheit for granular control.

Common Questions

Is the TE-6311M-1 compatible with my existing controller?
This Johnson Controls duct sensor is a passive, two-wire resistance device. It is compatible with any Building Automation System (BAS) or controller calibrated for a 1k ohm nickel RTD (Nickel-Iron Balco) input curve.

Can this sensor be used in a thermowell?
While primarily a duct probe sensor, it can be adapted for well-insertion using optional well sensor holders (ordered separately) if local specifications require a recessed probe mount.

What wiring distance is supported for this 1k Ni sensor?
To maintain accuracy, keep field wiring resistance under 3 ohms. For 22 AWG wire, this typically means a maximum run of approximately 100 feet before resistance error becomes significant.
