Remote room temperature sensor for MKII/MK3 - 3m - code: MSENS - Climma

Climma MSENS remote ambient temperature sensor for MKII/MK3 panels

The remote ambient temperature sensor Climma (code MSENS) is a probe designed for use with control panels Vega MKII and MK3 of Climma air conditioning systems. It is a spare part component useful when you want to detect the room temperature from a point different from where the control panel is installed.

In many onboard installations, the position of the control may not be the most representative of the actual ambient temperature (for example due to exposure to heat sources, direct sunlight, or drafts). In these cases, a remote probe allows transferring the measurement to a more suitable point, thus providing the control unit with a reference more consistent with the conditions of the air-conditioned room.

Spare part features and details

Code and identification

• Product: ambient temperature sensor/probe remote
• Climma Code: MSENS
• Declared compatibility: control panels Vega MKII and MK3

Integrated cable for remote installation

The model MSENS is supplied with 3-meter cable, designed to facilitate positioning the sensor at the point considered most representative of the room temperature. This feature is particularly useful when the control panel is installed in a technical area, a passageway, or a point subject to external influences that may alter the reading.

Function within the system

The probe detects the ambient temperature and transmits it to the control unit/control panel, contributing to the management of the air conditioner regulation. The MKII and MK3 panels support the connection of an optional remote temperature probe, useful to optimize the reading according to the installation needs.

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

This remote sensor is suitable in contexts where the temperature measurement must be taken at a point different from the control panel, for example to improve the consistency between the perceived room temperature and the temperature read by the system.

When it can be useful to install a remote probe

• When the sensor integrated in the panel is not in an ideal position for reading the room temperature.
• When the panel is influenced by heat sources, direct sunlight o drafts.
• When you want to measure the temperature at a more “central” or representative point of the air-conditioned environment.
• In case of replacement of a damaged or malfunctioning probe, maintaining the configuration provided by the system.

Spare part and system completion

The sensor MSENS can be used both as replacement and for to complete an installation with panels MKII and MK3 designed for the use of a remote probe. In the nautical field, where the arrangement of spaces and the presence of bulkheads/technical zones can affect the position of the controls, the possibility of placing the probe in a more suitable point is a practical advantage during installation or maintenance.

Why choose the MSENS remote sensor

• More representative measurement: allows detecting the temperature where it is needed, not necessarily where the panel is located.
• Greater installation flexibility: the integrated cable allows freer positioning inside the room.
• Support for regulation: the control unit receives a temperature reference consistent with the air-conditioned environment.
• Maintenance solution: useful for replacing a faulty probe or restoring a system that requires remote reading.
• Consistency with the Climma system: component designed for use with panels Vega MKII and MK3.

Usage and installation notes

To obtain a useful reading, the sensor should be installed in a point that represents the average temperature of the room, avoiding areas subject to direct influences (such as air jets, very hot/cold surfaces, or solar exposure). The choice of placement depends on the configuration of the boat and the arrangement of the vents and volumes.

General indications (conservative approach)

• Check that the control panel is MKII o MK3 and that it supports the connection of the remote probe.
• Place the probe in a protected and representative point of the environment, avoiding heat sources and drafts.
• In case of replacement, identify the component by MSENS code to maintain consistency with the expected spare parts.

For doubts about the connection or the best position, it is advisable to refer to the system documentation or the technician who handles the maintenance of the Climma system.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MSENS remote ambient temperature sensor used for?

It is used to detect the temperature of the room in a position different from the control panel and to transmit the measurement to the control unit/panel, useful when the command installation point is not representative.

With which control panels is this Climma sensor compatible?

It is designed for the Vega MKII and MK3 control panels of Climma air conditioning systems.

Is the MSENS sensor suitable as a replacement?

Yes, it can be used to replace a damaged or malfunctioning probe, maintaining the remote sensor configuration provided by the system.

How long is the MSENS remote sensor cable?

The sensor is equipped with a 3-meter cable, allowing installation in a point more representative of the room temperature.

When is it advisable to use a remote probe instead of the sensor integrated into the panel?

When the panel is installed in an area influenced by heat sources, direct sunlight, or drafts, or when it is not in an ideal position to measure the actual temperature of the air-conditioned environment.
