NTC Sensor Kit for Cylinder, 10 kΩ

Product detailed description

NTC Sensor Kit for Cylinder, 10 kΩ.

An immersion temperature sensor with a resistance of 10 kΩ, which measures the water temperature in the hot water cylinder and sends the signal to the boiler control. Based on this data, the boiler determines when the cylinder needs to reheat in order to maintain the set hot water temperature.

What to watch out for

When ordering a replacement sensor, it is important to choose the correct type based on resistance (10 kΩ) matching the specific boiler/control model - the control unit would not be able to correctly evaluate the wrong sensor type.

Frequently asked questions

• How do I check that the "NTC Sensor Kit for Cylinder, 10 kΩ" fits my appliance exactly? The most reliable way is to compare the exact type/catalogue designation from your appliance's rating plate (boiler, tank, water heater) with the compatibility stated directly in this product's name (brand PROTHERM) and in its technical parameters above. If in doubt, send us the exact type designation of your appliance (including the serial number, if available) - we will gladly verify compatibility for you.
• Why is it important to use the original/compatible part rather than a universal replacement? Parts such as gaskets, sensors or safety components (safety valves, thermal fuses) are generally sized precisely for the parameters of the specific appliance (pressure, temperature, sensor electrical resistance) - the wrong part can cause reduced functionality, leaks, or, in the case of safety components, an actual safety risk.
• Does this part have to be fitted by a professional? For simpler mechanical parts (e.g. gaskets, covers, small accessories with no connection to electricity, gas or the pressurised part) a competent DIY person can usually manage the replacement after disconnecting the appliance from the power supply and pipework. However, for any work on the gas, electrical or pressurised part of the appliance (e.g. sensors located directly in the combustion chamber, safety valves, electrical modules) we always recommend a service technician - especially since such work could otherwise affect the validity of the warranty on the whole appliance.
• How do I know this part is worn and needs replacing? Common signs include visible wear/cracking (for gaskets and rubber parts), water or flue gas leaking at the part, an error message on the control display (for sensors and electronic modules), or a noticeably reduced function of the appliance (e.g. irregular combustion for burner parts). If in doubt, the safest option is to have the condition assessed by a service technician during the regular annual inspection.
• Is it worth keeping this part at home as a spare? For parts that are subject to normal wear (gaskets, fuses, small mechanical parts) and whose failure would mean a heating or hot water outage, keeping a spare in stock is a sensible precaution - especially for an older appliance for which the part may be harder to obtain quickly.
