Pentair TS5L – Linear Temperature Sensor (Red & Green Wires)
Product Overview
The Pentair TS5L is a linear temperature sensor designed for pool automation systems. It can serve as a water temperature, solar panel, or freeze-protection sensor depending on application.
Key Features
- Red and green two-wire lead connection for easy integration.
- Versatile use in water, solar panel or freeze‐protection functions.
- Pre-wired sensor ready for drop-in replacement applications in compatible systems.
- Reliable OEM grade sensor from Pentair for controls and pool automation systems.
Technical Specifications
- Part Number: TS5L
- Sensor Type: Linear temperature sensor
- Lead Wires: Red & Green
- Use: Water, solar or freeze-sensor applications
Applications & Compatibility
This sensor is compatible with Pentair automation systems including ComPool series and may also be used with other Pentair controllers requiring a linear temperature sensor (water or solar/temperature sensing). Verify your control model and sensor requirements prior to purchase.
Installation Instructions
- Turn off control power and verify system is de-energized before servicing.
- Locate the existing sensor harness and label red/green connections if needed.
- Disconnect the old sensor and pull the lead wires through as required for the new TS5L sensor.
- Connect red wire to the red terminal and green wire to the green terminal, secure the sensor in the proper location (water loop, solar sensor port or freeze sensor location).
- Restore power and test sensor reading or system function to verify correct installation.
Troubleshooting
- No temperature reading or “Sensor Fault” error: Check that red and green wires are correctly connected; ensure sensor leads have not been damaged or stretched.
- Incorrect temperature reading: Confirm sensor is placed correctly (in water loop or sun-exposed solar panel) and not exposed to extraneous heating or cooling sources.
- System still showing freeze or solar fault: Check sensor continuity, verify wiring harness and control connections, and confirm control input is configured for TS5L sensor type.
Maintenance Tip
During annual servicing of pool or solar systems, inspect sensors for corrosion, damaged wires or poor seating. Replacing the TS5L sensor proactively when leads show age or wear helps maintain accurate readings and reliable control operation in automation systems.
