HVAC Passive Temperature Sensors Overview

Passive sensors have no electronics: they're simply a temperature-dependent resistor, such as a Pt1000, wired straight to a controller's input. They're low-cost, need no power supply and are very reliable.

Produal passive sensors

Most use a Pt1000 element to EN 60751 class B, with typical accuracy of ±0.3 °C at 0 °C.

Other elements, such as T1 (TEP), are available for controllers that need them.

Passive or transmitter?

Choose passive when the controller has a resistance input for the same element and the cable is short. Choose a transmitter for long cables or 4 to 20 mA / 0 to 10 V inputs.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a Pt1000?

A platinum resistance element with 1000 Ω at 0 °C. Its higher resistance, compared with a Pt100, reduces the effect of cable resistance.

Do passive sensors need power?

No. The controller reads the resistance directly.

What accuracy can I expect?

Typically ±0.3 °C at 0 °C for Produal Pt1000 sensors.
