Temperature Sensor
APPLICATION . . .
Electric Heat Tracing Control
The RTD-100 is designed for use as control input for freeze
protection and temperature maintenance applications 2
requiring pipewall or tankwall temperature sensing.
3
A cast-aluminum NEMA 4X/7 enclosure and terminal block
allows ease of wiring into a single unit that can be installed
directly onto a heat traced pipe. The RTD-100 housing and
mounting pad are stainless steel.
The RTD-100 is suitable for use in heat tracing applications
where surface temperatures do not exceed 900°F (482°C).

Temperature Sensor
The following installation procedures are suggested
guidelines for the installation of a Thermon temperature
sensor. They are not intended to preclude the use of
other methods utilizing accepted engineering or field
construction practices. Temperature sensors are used for Gasket
freeze protection or temperature maintenance of piping,
tanks and instrumentation.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION . . . Cover and Head Assembly
1. Upon receipt, check to make sure the proper type has
been received.
2. Store in a dry place. 3/4" (19.05mm)
WIRING SCHEMATIC NPT Conduit Opening
3. Ensure that temperature sensor/junction box (3 WIRE)
combination is suitable for the area classification. RED (A)
4. Mount the temperature sensor/junction box vertically
upright and in a position that will prevent condensation BLACK (B)
from draining into the enclosure from the connected WHITE (B)
conduit. Do not bend sensor or lead. Adequately support
4.0"
conduit leading to enclosure. (102mm)
5. The sensor should be placed at least 90° around the
cirumference from the heating cable, or at least 2”
(5 cm) from the cable. Mount the sensor in a location 3.0"
(76mm)
that is representative of the overall system temperature 2.25"
(57mm)
away from valves, pipe supports, nozzles, or other heat
sinks. Fasten the temperature sensor securely to the
pipe/vessel with banding (purchased seperately), being
sure that the entire length of the sensor is in intimate
contact with the pipe surface. The sensor may be
covered with a parallel pass of metallic tape to enhance
heat transfer (not shown).
6. Power should always be disconnected and a lockout/
Install One Band (Order Separately
tagout procedure performed prior to opening the box Depending on Pipe Size)
enclosure for maintenance.
7. Any modification to the enclosure or deviation from
these procedures may affect unit's rating or approvals.
Contact factory if modifications are necessary.
