Aquacomputer Calitemp Temperature Sensor Inline and Outline G1/4 For Aquaero 5/6 (53257)

The Aquacomputer Calitetemp Temperature Sensor Inline and Outline G1/4 For Aquaero 5/6 is a digital coolant temperature sensor with one G1/4 inner thread and one G1/4 outer thread. It is connected to the aquabus of an aquaero 5 or aquaero 6 with firmware version 2100 or newer.

Properties

• Thread: G1/4 internal and external, O-ring seal
• Connection: aquabus, cable included
• Measuring range: -30 °C to +120 °C, resolution 0.01 °C
• Material: Nickel-plated brass body, silicone cover ring

How it fits

Aquacomputer rates this digital sensor for excellent accuracy over a wide temperature range. It has threads on both sides and can therefore be mounted directly on a CPU cooler or radiator to save space. Gently pulled from the metal part, the rubber ring with the cable connector turns into six positions.

What a run needs

For operation, an aquaero such as the aquaero 6 LT is additionally required. The supplied cable goes to its "aquabus high" connection, which supports a single Calitemp sensor without additional hardware; other aquabus devices share it through splitter 53124 or 53231. Alternatively, a maximum of four Calitemp sensors run on one aquaero via an "aquabus X4" (53258). Neither ships with it.

Compatibility

Compatible devices:

• aquaero 5 XT/PRO/LT, firmware version 2100 or newer, aquasuite 2018-1 or newer
• aquaero 6 XT/PRO/LT, firmware version 2100 or newer, aquasuite 2018-1 or newer

Aquacomputer notes that every aquasuite since version 2017 requires a valid license or activation; this sensor needs one for 2018 or newer, sold separately.

Specified absolute accuracy of the sensor chip used

• -40 °C to -20 °C: +/- 1 °C
• -20 °C to -5 °C: +/- 0.5 °C
• -5 °C to 50 °C: +/- 0.2 °C
• 50 °C to 100 °C: +/- 0.5 °C
• 100 °C to 125 °C: +/- 1 °C
• Resolution: 0.01 °C

Technical details

• Connection thread: G1/4
• Base body material: Nickel-plated brass
• Cover material: Silicone
• Height when installed: 16 mm
• Temperature range: -30 °C to +120 °C
• Supply voltage: 5 V DC
• Supply current: max. 5 mA

Notes

• Never connect multiple Calitemp sensors directly to an aquaero through splitters; use the aquabus X4.
• Real accuracy depends on the environment and is considerably lower in most cases; pipe insulation over the sensor improves it.

In the box

• 1x Calitemp set, which includes:
• 1x Calitemp sensor
• 1x aquabus connection cable (replacement part 53214)
