TS2229 IFM Surface Temperature Sensor, Pt100 Class A, 2 m Cable

Product Overview

TS2229 is a bolt-on temperature sensor for solid surfaces. It uses a Pt100 class A element. Gold-plated contacts fight corrosion. The stainless steel body suits tight machine mounting.

This sensor fits industrial automation, machine building, and process lines. It reads surface temperature fast. The M12 connector and PUR cable simplify wiring.

FAQ

Q: Can this sensor measure air temperature?

A: No. It is built for solid surfaces. Use a probe sensor for air or gas.

Q: Why do I need heat paste?

A: Paste fills small gaps. It speeds up heat transfer. Response time drops to 9 s / 15 s on flat anodised aluminium.

Q: Does the cable length affect accuracy?

A: With a 2-wire Pt100, long cable adds resistance. Use a 3-wire or 4-wire transmitter for best results.

Q: How do I know the sensor sits correctly?

A: The bolt-on body should sit flat. A loose mount gives slow, unstable readings.

Q: Can I use it outdoors?

A: The IP 67 rating handles splashes and dust. Shield the connector from standing water.

Q: What is the expected service life?

A: The MTTF is 11415.5 years. Real life depends on vibration, temperature, and cable handling.
