  • Product description

    Passive temperature sensor with cable | PT500 | 8m | -20-60°C | IP65 | Sentera Controls | FLTSN-P500P800

    FLTSN-P500P800 – a Sentera Controls passive platinum PT500 temperature probe in a black ABS plastic tube with 8 m shielded cable, IP65. Intended for measuring temperature in HVAC systems, indoors and outdoors.

    Key idea:
    When the sensor has to be routed farther from the controller – outdoors, into a chamber or a thermowell – the 8 m shielded cable and IP65 probe make this possible without intermediate connections.
    Sensing element
    PT500 (500 Ω at 0 °C)
    Cable length
    8 m, shielded
    Operating temperature
    -20…+60 °C
    Protection class
    IP65

    Operating principle

    An acrylic-coated platinum PT500 element placed in a black ABS plastic tube with a 8 m two-core shielded 0.5 mm² cable (white sheath, tinned ends). Two-wire connection: the blue core is the sensor element, and the brown core is connected to the shield and reduces electromagnetic interference.

    The element resistance rises linearly with temperature: 500 Ω at 0 °C, ≈ 616 Ω at 60 °C (temperature coefficient 3850 ppm/K), so no calibration is needed; response time t0.9 ≤ 5 s at an airflow of 3 m/s.

    Result – a controller with a PT500 input receives the temperature with F0.3 class accuracy (±0.30 °C at 0 °C … ±0.60 °C at 60 °C) from a point up to 8 m away, with no intermediate connections. Thanks to IP65 the probe can also be used outdoors, but the operating range is limited to -20…+60 °C, and there is no active 0-10 VDC or Modbus output.

    Benefits FLTSN-P500P800?
    IP65 probe with 8 m shielded cable – one product suits indoors, outdoor air and a thermowell.

    Main functions

    • Platinum PT500 element – linear characteristic per IEC 60751 (3850 ppm/K), no calibration needed.
    • IP65 ABS probe – suitable for rooms and outdoor air.
    • 8 m shielded cable – fewer disturbances, no intermediate connections.
    • Two-wire connection with a shield – blue wire – element, brown – shield; easy to connect.
    • Accuracy class F0.3 – ±0.30 °C at 0 °C … ±0.60 °C at 60 °C.
    • Fast response – t0.9 ≤ 5 s at an airflow of 3 m/s.
    • Long-term stability – better than ±0.04 % – readings do not drift.

    Where is it used?

    • Outdoor air temperature measurement (IP65)
    • Air handling unit ducts and chambers
    • Heating and cooling pipework up to +60 °C (with thermowell)
    • Buffer tanks and heat substations up to +60 °C
    • BMS temperature monitoring
    • Remote measuring points up to 8 m from the controller without junction boxes
    • Greenhouses, warehouses and farm buildings

    On-demand operation

    For greenhouse farms.
    An 8 m cable allows the probe to be hung in the plant zone while the controller stays in the technical room.
    For farm building ventilation installers.
    An IP65 probe with an 8 m cable measures air temperature in barns and warehouses without additional boxes.
    For the BMS integrator.
    A shielded 8 m cable with a brown shield core reduces interference on a long line.

    Practical application

    If a greenhouse controller with a PT500 input is in a technical room and the temperature has to be measured 7 m away in the plant zone, then the FLTSN-P500P800 with an 8 m shielded cable is connected without intermediate boxes.

    Application guide: how it is used in practice

    FLTSN-P500P800 is a universal probe with cable; it can be placed in a thermowell, fixed in a duct or in a room:

    Site What is connected Result Installer's note
    Heating substation, tank FLTSN-P500P800 in a thermowell → controller PT500 input The controller regulates according to water temperature Use thermally conductive paste in the thermowell
    Air handling unit chamber FLTSN-P500P800 in the airflow → controller Supply or outdoor air temperature measurement Secure the wire so that it is not strained
    Heating circuit FLTSN-P500P800 on the pipe surface → controller Return water temperature control Insulate the sensor location so that the readings are not reduced
    BMS modernization The existing PT500 probe is replaced with FLTSN-P500P800 Same characteristic – no need to change settings Check the controller's input type

    How to choose a sensing element and cable length

    Sensing element / probe / cable Recommended model
    PT100, stainless steel probe, 1 m FLTSN-P100-100 (PT100, 1 m)
    PT500, stainless steel probe, 1 m FLTSN-P500-100 (PT500, 1 m)
    PT500, stainless steel probe, 4 m FLTSN-P500-400 (PT500, 4 m)
    PT1000, stainless steel probe, 1 m FLTSN-P1K0-100 (PT1000, 1 m)
    PT1000, stainless steel probe, 4 m FLTSN-P1K0-400 (PT1000, 4 m)
    PT500, ABS probe, IP65, 1 m FLTSN-P500P100 (PT500, 1 m)
    PT500, ABS probe, IP65, 4 m FLTSN-P500P400 (PT500, 4 m)
    PT500, ABS probe, IP65, 8 m FLTSN-P500P800 (PT500, 8 m) ← this model
    PT500, ABS probe, IP65, 16 m FLTSN-P500P1K6 (PT500, 16 m)
    PT1000, ABS probe, IP65, 1 m FLTSN-P1K0P100 (PT1000, 1 m)
    NTC 3 kΩ (25 °C), 1 m FLTSN-N3K3A1-100 (NTC, 1 m)
    NTC 10 kΩ (25 °C), 1 m FLTSN-N1K4A1-100 (NTC, 1 m)
    Rule: the sensing element (PT100 / PT500 / PT1000 / NTC) must match the controller input, and for NTC – also its resistance characteristic. Choose a cable length that avoids splices; for extension use only a shielded cable.
    When to choose another solution: for a room – ROTSN series (wall-mounted housing); for a duct – TUTSN series (150 / 250 mm); when the controller accepts only Modbus RTU – DTS-M (duct) or DTP-M (strap-on).

    Pros

    • No power supply or settings needed
    • Standard PT500 characteristic
    • IP65 – also suitable outdoors
    • Factory-fitted 8 m shielded cable
    • Accuracy class F0.3
    • Long-term stability

    Cons / limitations

    • No 0-10 VDC or Modbus output – a controller with a PT500 input is required; for a Modbus system choose DTS-M or DTP-M
    • Operating range -20…+60 °C – not suitable for hotter media
    • The thermowell is not included in the kit
    • The plastic (ABS) probe is mechanically less robust – for a sturdier solution there is the FLTSN-P series with a stainless steel probe

    Safety and installation notes

    • Installation and connection are to be carried out by a qualified installer.
    • For extension use only a shielded cable, routed separately from 230 V lines.
    • Do not exceed the operating temperature of -20…+60 °C and < 95 % rH non-condensing.
    • Secure the cable so that it is not strained or damaged.

    Quick selection guide

    PT500
    8 m
    IP65
    Passive
    With cable
    Suitable when you need:
    • to measure temperature for a controller with a PT500 input;
    • to install a sensor in a thermowell, duct or on a surface;
    • to replace an old probe of the same type.
    Check before use:
    • the controller input type (PT500);
    • the required cable length;
    • the medium temperature – whether it does not exceed +60 °C.
    Important reminder: FLTSN-P500P800 is a passive sensor; it works only with a controller that has a PT500 input.
