What is the temperature range for sensor use?
Question: What is the temperature range for sensor use?
Answer: Standard Tekscan sensors are specified to operate in a temperature range from 15 ºF to 140 ºF (-9 ºC to 60 ºC). If the sensor is used at a temperature different than the calibration temperature, there will be a temperature effect.
The operating temperature range of the Handle is 32 °F to 122 °F (0 °C to 50 °C). Thus, if the application involves extremes of temperature, the Handle should be insulated or otherwise protected from the extremes of temperature.
Many sensors can be produced with high temperature ink and substrate for use over a temperature range from 15 ºF to 400 ºF (-9 ºC to 204 ºC). The appropriate sensor for prospective high temperature applications is individually evaluated, and quoted.
