Series-TE-WSS

Supported Applications

The Dwyer Series TE-WSS Stainless Steel Wall Plate Temperature Sensor is designed to measure ambient air temperature. The product overview identifies specific use cases in classrooms and industrial environments.

Operating Conditions & Performance

This series operates within an ambient temperature range of -40 to 140°F (-40 to 60°C). Accuracy specifications vary by sensor element type:

• Thermistor models: ±0.22°C @ 25°C (±0.4°F @ 77°F)
• RTD models: DIN Class B ±0.3°C @ 0°C

Configuration Options

The Series TE-WSS offers six distinct model configurations based on the internal sensing element. All models share common physical dimensions, mounting style, and electrical connection methods.

Sensor Element Options

• TE-WSS-A: 10k Ω type III thermistor
• TE-WSS-B: 10k Ω type II thermistor
• TE-WSS-C: 3k Ω thermistor
• TE-WSS-D: PT100 Ω RTD
• TE-WSS-E: PT1000 Ω RTD
• TE-WSS-F: 20k Ω thermistor

Mechanical and Electrical Specifications

• Housing Material: 304 SS wall plate
• Dimensions (H x W x D): 4-31/64 in [113.89 mm] height, 2-3/4 in [69.86 mm] width, 3-9/32 in [83.31 mm] depth
• Weight: 2.3 oz (65 g)
• Electrical Connection: Screw Terminal Connection
• Mounting: Standard single gang junction box cover plate mounting

Key Product Differences

The primary distinction between models in the Series TE-WSS is the sensor type and resistance value. Models A, B, C, and F utilize thermistors with varying resistances (3k Ω to 20k Ω) and types (II or III). Models D and E utilize Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs), specifically PT100 Ω and PT1000 Ω elements respectively.

While the sensor element changes, all variants maintain identical housing dimensions, material composition (304 SS wall plate), screw terminal connections, and operating temperature limits of -40 to 140°F (-40 to 60°C).
