What is an averaging sensor?
What is an averaging sensor?
The Series AVG Averaging Temperature Sensor can be used to measure the average temperature up stream of the cooling coils in an air handler. The coiled sensor unwinds to a length of 12′ or 24′ to take an average temperature reading across a large space.
Does thermostat remote sensor work?
A remote sensor is a device designed to enable the thermostat to control room temperature based on the occupancy and temperature levels of the room. The normal wireless thermostat works by sensing the temperature of the surrounding areas and adjusting the heating or cooling system accordingly.
Are thermostat sensors worth it?
In cases where your thermostat isn’t installed in a good spot, a separate temperature sensor can help keep you more comfortable by measuring the temperature in a better location and using that temperature to tell your heating and cooling system what to do.
What is the range of temperature sensor?
Temperature Sensor Comparison
| Temperature Sensor Type | Advantages | Temperature Range |
|---|---|---|
| RTD Sensors | Highly accurate Good stability Good linearity Consistent High temperature ranges | -196°C +850°C |
| Thermocouples | Wide temperature range Highly rugged Best for high temperatures | 95°C – 1260°C |
How does averaging work on a thermostat control?
There was a question in the Facebook group a few days ago about averaging sensors. There are two common configurations/methods used for averaging. The first is simply a setting in a thermostat or control where it reads separate sensors, and then the thermostat itself averages out the readings using its software.
Can a remote thermostat be used as a remote sensor?
This indoor sensor is designed to sense temperature at a remote location and send this information to the VisionPRO Thermostat. This sensor can be used as a stand alone sensor or as part of an averaging network. Once a remote indoor temperature sensor is connected to the thermostat, the thermostat’s sensor is no longer used.
How are sensor readings averaged in a thermostat?
There are two common configurations/methods used for averaging. The first is simply a setting in a thermostat or control where it reads separate sensors and then the thermostat itself averages out the readings using software. For example, if the onboard sensor is being averaged with a remote sensor it could look like this: Onboard Sensor = 78°
What does the average temperature of a remote sensor look like?
For example, if the onboard sensor is being averaged with a remote sensor, it could look like this: So, the average temperature is 80° between the onboard sensor and the remote sensor.
