4.7 Installation Instructions For Temperature Sensors
When selecting and installing temperature sensors, the greatest care must be taken. Errors
committed here can no longer be compensated even by the best calculator
CAUTION
Take care when installing the temperature sensors!
Incorrect removal of directly immersing temperature sensors may result in an acci-
persons.
NOTICE
Shielding of the cables against electromagnetic interference!
If there is a danger of electrical or electromagnetic interference, temperature sensors
in 2- and 4-wire technology with shielded cables or shielded cables at the connection
heads must be used. The shielding should be connected to the appropriate electrical
ground in the calculator. The possibility of interference increases with the length of
The connection cables must not be separated, extended or shortened!
The sensors are exactly computer paired in the factory and may only be used in the
original pairing!
Installation with cable lengths over 3 m
For installations with cable lengths over 3 m or with unequal cable lengths,
we recommend the use of 4-wire temperature sensors. The maximum cable
length of the 4-wire temperature sensors is 50 m
Instruction for use | Supercal 5
Only platinum temperature sensors with type approval in the Pt500 version are recommend-
ed. These must be paired and used in two-wire technology up to a cable length of 3 m. The
connecting cables must not be separated, extended, or shortened.
For lengths of more than 3 m, we recommend the use of carefully shielded cable lines of the
same length. The approval of the Supercal 5 allows 2-wire temperature sensors to be used
up to a maximum length of 15 m and 4-wire temperature sensors up to a maximum cable
length of 50 m. Su-percal 5 can be used with a maximum cable length of 50 m.
The temperature sensors should preferably be installed directly and without thermowell for
low-temperature heating systems due to the minimum temperature spread. This allows even
the smallest temperature differences to be determined without delays and heat dissipation
errors.
In pipelines up to DN 150, the temperature sensors are installed directly or employing ther-
mowell. The dynamic measuring range of the sensor tip is located as far as possible in the
middle of the pipeline.
Extensive information on the subject of temperature sensors can be found in our Sontex
temperature sensor overview at: www.sontex.ch/downloads/ under the heading tempera-
ture sensor 460.

Since it is not the absolute temperature but the exact temperature difference that is im-
portant when measuring the heat quantity, both sensor cables must be the identical length
(resistance). The sen-sors are very accurately computer paired in the factory and may only
be used in the original pairing.

sensors:

4.7.2 Connection of 4-Wire Temperature Sensor
For installations with cable lengths over 3 m or with unequal cable lengths, we recommend
the use of 4-wire temperature sensors. The maximum cable length of the 4-wire tempera-
ture sensors is 50 m.
The connection cable must have four wires, the wire cross-section should be at least 0,5 mm2
The insulation of the temperature sensor cables can be made of PVC or silicone. Sontex
recommends the use of silicone as insulator.
