IMT - Model Tm-RS485-MB / Tm-RS485-MT - Module Temperature Sensor with RS485 Interface
Our module and surface temperature sensors come equipped with a stable Aluminium housing and a robust weatherproof cable. Thanks to the use of top quality components the sensors achieve very high accuracy and are ideal for use in field environments (PV module temperature). All sensors are shipped with a calibration protocol for the measuring amplifier. If required, the sensors can be ordered with an inspection certificate 3.1 as per DIN EN 10204.
Safety Instructions
The installation and assembly of electrical equipment must be carried out by electrically qualified persons.
The sensor may not be used with equipment whose direct or indirect purpose is to prevent human death or injury, or whose operation poses a risk to humans, animals or property.
Electrical Connection
The sensors are designed for safety extra-low voltage (SELV) operation.
The cable shield shall be connected to the PE during installation.
WARNING: Connecting the supply voltage to the signal lines will damage the device.
Installation Instructions
If mounted outdoors, avoid direct exposure to sunlight and rain to the sensor housing (Aluminium block). If necessary, provide protection from the sun and rain.
The through holes used to fix the sensor to a stable and suitable surface shall be accessible when the housing is opened. The tightening torque of the case cover is 180 Ncm.
The sensor element is mounted by gluing the Aluminium block directly to the measurement surface. The surface must be dry, clean and degreased. It is also recommended using an extra fixing with silicon or Sikaflex, particularly for module temperature above 75°C.
Note: The module temperature measurement can be optimised by completely covering the sensor element.
The sensor cable needs a cable grip close to the sensor housing.
Maintenance
The sensors should be checked once a year for damage, contamination and correct fitting.
A recalibration of the sensor is recommend after approx. 3 years.
User information
The sensor is designed for the measurement of a surface temperature. The warranty is for 1 year from the date of the invoice for the intended use. M&T does not accept any liability for possible losses or damage due to the incorrect usage of the sensor. Liability for consequential damages is excluded.
