20' Air / Water / Solar Temperature Sensor
Product Overview
A proven choice for maintaining precise temperature readings in Pentair automation systems.
The Pentair 520272 is the standard specification for technicians servicing TimeMaster systems with the LX-10 Power Center. This 20-foot sensor provides the critical data needed for ComPool to EasyTouch upgrades, ensuring your pump and heater respond accurately to real-time air, water, or solar temperatures. As a genuine OEM component, it avoids the calibration drift often seen in generic thermistors, which is vital for freeze protection and solar efficiency.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
LX-10 System Integration
Specifically designed to interface with the LX-10 Power Center and TimeMaster units for seamless automation control.
20-Foot Lead Length
The generous cable length allows for flexible placement in solar arrays, plumbing manifolds, or ambient air locations.
Multi-Function Utility
Reliably handles air, water, or solar temperature sensing, making it a versatile repair part for various system configurations.
Compatibility
- Pentair EasyTouch Automation Systems
- ComPool to EasyTouch Upgrades
- LX-10 Power Center and TimeMaster Systems
When To Use This
Pro Tip
In regions with high humidity or coastal salt air, terminal connections can corrode; applying a small amount of dielectric grease to the connection points on the LX-10 board can extend the life of the sensor interface and prevent signal loss.
Common Questions & Instructions
How do I know if my Pentair temperature sensor needs to be replaced?
Common symptoms include the control panel displaying 'Air Error' or 'Water Error,' or temperature readings that fluctuate wildly or stay fixed at an impossible number like 32°F or 150°F.
Is the Pentair 520272 compatible with older ComPool systems?
Yes, this sensor is what pool techs reach for when converting or maintaining ComPool to EasyTouch automation systems, particularly those utilizing the LX-10 Power Center.
Can I install this sensor myself or do I need a professional?
While the physical mounting is straightforward, wiring it into the LX-10 board requires careful handling of low-voltage terminals; many homeowners find it DIY-friendly if they follow the system schematic.
