QAC...
Outside Sensors FW-T1G
Passive sensors for acquiring the outside temperature and – to a lesser
degree – solar radiation, the wind effect and the temperature of the wall.
Range of use -40/50…+70 °C / 5…95 % r. F.

Use

The QAC… outside sensors are for use in heating, ventilation and air conditioning
plants as:
Reference sensors for weather-compensated control
Measuring sensors, e.g. for optimization, measured value indication, or for connec-
tion to a building automation and control system

Equipment combinations

The outside sensors are suited for use with all types of controllers capable of acquiring
and handling the sensor’s measured value.

Function

The outside sensor acquires the outside temperature and to a lesser degree solar
radiation, the wind effect and the temperature of the wall. The sensing element
changes its resistance value as a function of the temperature.

Temperature in degrees Celsius
Temperature differential in Kelvin

Mechanical design

The sensor has a plastic housing with a removable cover.

The connection terminals can be accessed after removal of the cover.
Cable entry is either from the rear (concealed wiring) or from below (surface-run wires).
A cable entry gland can be screwed into the bottom of the housing.

Engineering notes

The permissible cable lengths depend on the type of controller with which the sensor is
used. They are specified in the Data Sheet of the relevant controller.

Mounting notes

Depending on use, the outside sensor must be located as follows:

Mounting location For control:
On the wall of the house or building that has the windows of the occupied rooms, but
the sensor must not be exposed to the morning sun. In case of doubt, it should be
mounted on the wall facing north or north-west
For optimization:
Always on the coldest wall of the house or building (normally the wall facing north).
The sensor must never be exposed to the morning sun
Mounting height Preferably in the middle of the house or building or heating zone, but at least 2.5 m
above the ground.
The sensor must not be fitted at the following locations:
Above windows, doors, air extracts or other heat sources
Below balconies or the eave of the roof
To prevent measuring errors due to air circulation, the cable conduit at the sensor
should be sealed.
The sensor may not be painted over.
Mounting Instructions are printed on the packaging.
