Honeywell AC11201 Temperature Sensor for Floor Heating Applications

Still working fine after two years

Produit de qualité

I have installed four Honeywell AC11201 Temperature Sensor for Floor Heating Applications, two each (one hooked-up, one backup) in two bathrooms, and all four have functioned as they should. When installing, they all tested at around 11kOhms and no problems with them being messed-up by the install. The AC11201 installs nicely into a Ditra-Heat system. The thermistor will push down between the plastic knobs on the Ditra-Heat, and dabs of hot-melt glue will hold the wire and thermistor in place while your scratch coat or tile is being placed.

I have put heated tile floors in both of our bathrooms. The system works well and I bought this on the suggestion of a friend to have a back-up in case one sensor stopped working. If you don't install a back-up sensor, you're going to be screwed if the first sensor dies. I installed this one about six inches away from the other and pulled the wire up the wall so that it is coiled in back of the control box with a note reminding me what it is. A friend of mine who also installed a heated tile floor is kicking himself for not thinking of a back-up sensor. I may never have to use it, but I'm glad it is there just in case.

Went ahead and added a second temperature sensor to the floor heat system to make sure I had at least one that would work at all times. Great suggestion by installation instructions, but should be included in main package.
