Description
RTD Temperature Sensor (Model APWS-6-1) is a weatherproof RTD PT100 industrial temperature sensor designed for accurate temperature measurement in general industrial and non-hazardous process applications. Featuring a Simplex Class A PT100 sensing element, a 200 mm SS316 stainless steel probe, and a rugged IP65 die-cast aluminium terminal head, this RTD sensor delivers dependable performance across an operating temperature range of -50°C to +400°C. Designed for standard industrial environments where explosion-proof protection is not required, it provides a cost-effective solution for continuous process monitoring, equipment protection, and industrial automation.
The APWS-6-1 is suitable for a wide range of manufacturing and process industries requiring reliable temperature measurement without the additional complexity of flameproof instrumentation. Available in 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire configurations, it can be integrated with compatible temperature transmitters, PLCs, DCS, SCADA systems, controllers, indicators, and industrial automation platforms. Manufactured by Aavad Instrument, this weatherproof RTD temperature sensor is widely used in process plants, utilities, HVAC systems, laboratories, water treatment facilities, OEM equipment, and industrial machinery where accurate and stable PT100 temperature measurement is required.
