Embedded Data Systems OW-TEMP-B3-12A - Temperature Probe

The OW-TEMP-B3-12A temperature probe is designed for wide temperature range applications requiring sensor submersion and/or excellent chemical resistant properties. The 3" probe is resistant to acids, alkalis, ketones, esters, aliphatics, aromatics, and outdoor exposure. It is constructed of 304 Stainless Steel making it both durable and water resistant. The 12' cable used is constructed of Teflon based materials for both the outer jacket and inner conductor insulation. It is particularly suited for harsh environments, and offers excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, oil, gasoline, and sunlight exposure. All of this results in a robust sensor which can be submerged beyond the top of the steel probe. The sensor is equipped with a DS18B20 1-Wire temperature sensor embedded into the probe. In manufacturing the temperature probe a special process is used which insures the internal sensor is thermally coupled to the steel tube wall; this helps insure rapid thermal response to changing conditions. The probe is designed to make the installation process as fast and error free as possible. It is the first 1-Wire probe to automatically identify whether external power is being supplied to the VDD pin and then configure the sensor appropriately. The probe is directly compatible with all Embedded Data Systems and Maxim 1-Wire bus masters as well as the freely available TMEX drivers.
