External sensor AF60 85757741

Outdoor temperature sensor – precise thermal comfort control

The AF60 external sensor, manufactured by De Dietrich, is a key element of the heating system, enabling effective temperature control in the building. Its main task is to measure the ambient temperature, which allows the boiler to automatically adjust the heating power to current weather conditions. This ensures optimal thermal comfort inside the premises while simultaneously reducing energy consumption.

Functionality and compatibility

The AF60 sensor is dedicated to working with De Dietrich MCR3, MCX and Evodens AMC series boilers. It can be used both independently and in combination with room thermostats, offering flexible configuration options for the heating system. This is particularly important for installers who can tailor the solution to individual customer needs. This allows for precise maintenance of the desired temperature in the rooms, regardless of the weather conditions.

Installation and recommendations

Correct installation of the sensor is crucial for its proper operation. It is recommended to install it on the north or northwest wall of the building, in a place protected from direct sunlight and away from heat sources (e.g. windows, doors, ventilation grilles). The sensor should be placed at a height of at least 2.5 meters above ground level. Such placement ensures a representative measurement of the ambient temperature and minimizes the impact of local disturbances. For installers, this means taking these factors into account during installation planning and informing the end user.

Additionally, it is worth remembering that this sensor allows the use of the boiler's weather-based automation function – which translates into real savings and comfort when using the heating system.
