FF external hermetic probe Ø10 mm (model sonda fi10) — sealed temperature sensor for outdoor use

FF external hermetic probe Ø10 mm (model sonda fi10) is a sealed temperature sensor designed for outdoor and exposed installations. The compact Ø10 mm cylindrical housing provides protection for the sensing element against moisture, dust and other contaminants, allowing reliable temperature measurement in HVAC systems, weather stations, refrigeration units and industrial enclosures. The probe is intended for fixed mounting and integration with compatible controllers and displays.

Advantages

The sealed construction ensures long-term stability of readings by preventing ingress of water and particulates. Its small 10 mm diameter and compact length allow installation in narrow openings and tight spaces without compromising sensor performance. The robust exterior resists corrosion and environmental wear typical of outdoor installations, while the probe is compatible with common connection and mounting practices used in building automation and industrial monitoring.

Suitable for

• Outdoor ambient temperature measurement
• HVAC evaluation and control
• Weather station sensors and meteorological monitoring
• Refrigeration and cold storage monitoring
• Industrial cabinets and enclosures where a sealed probe is required

Key specifications

• Probe diameter: 10 mm
• Sealed/ hermetic housing for moisture and dust protection
• Compact cylindrical form factor for installation in confined spaces
• Suitable for fixed mounting and integration with compatible controllers
• Designed for outdoor and exposed environments

How to use

Install the probe in a location representative of the measured environment, avoiding direct solar radiation or localized heat sources unless such exposure is required for the application. Secure the probe using appropriate clamps or fittings and route the sensor cable to the controller or data logger, ensuring cable entries are sealed to maintain the hermetic integrity of the installation. Connect to a compatible input on the controller according to the controllers wiring diagram and configure the controller for the sensor type used.

Usage recommendations

For accurate and long-term operation, periodically inspect the mounting and cable seals, verify controller calibration against a known reference, and avoid mechanical stress or bending at the probe-cable junction. When installing in outdoor locations, provide weather shielding or a protective enclosure if the probe will be exposed to direct impact, heavy contamination or ice buildup.
