Outdoor temperature sensor Ferroli 013018XO — external temperature probe

Ferroli 013018XO is an outdoor temperature sensor designed to measure external ambient temperature for heating and HVAC systems. The compact external probe provides a single, reliable temperature input for boilers, controllers or building automation to enable weather-compensated control and continuous temperature monitoring. The probe is intended for exterior installation on building facades or within protective housings to ensure accurate readings under varying outdoor conditions.

Advantages

The outdoor sensor offers precise ambient temperature measurement in a compact, robust format suitable for integration with heating systems and automation controllers. Its single-input design simplifies wiring and configuration while providing data necessary for weather-compensated control strategies. The probe’s construction allows for stable performance when mounted on facades or inside protective enclosures, supporting long-term monitoring and control of HVAC equipment.

Suitable for

• Weather-compensated boiler control
• Building automation temperature input
• External ambient monitoring for HVAC systems
• Facade-mounted temperature sensing (in protective housing if required)

Key specifications

• Function: external ambient temperature sensing for heating and HVAC control
• Sensor type: single external probe providing one temperature input
• Mounting: designed for facade mounting or installation within protective housings
• Compatibility: intended for connection to boilers, controllers and building automation systems
• Application environment: outdoor use with appropriate protection against direct exposure

How to use

Install the probe at a representative exterior location away from direct sunlight, heat sources and reflective surfaces to ensure accurate ambient readings. Secure the sensor to a vertical surface or place it inside a protective housing if local exposure to rain or debris is expected. Connect the sensor wiring to the compatible temperature input on the boiler, controller or automation system following the equipment manufacturer’s wiring diagram and polarity requirements. After connection, configure the receiving device to recognize an external temperature probe input and verify readings against a reference to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

Place the sensor at a height and location that represent general ambient conditions for the building; avoid locations near exhausts, vents or heat-generating equipment. Use a protective housing in locations with heavy precipitation or mechanical risk, and periodically inspect the mounting and cable entry for damage or moisture ingress.
