scope:

This specification covers temperature monitoring equipment which continuously monitor and selectively indicate at a central location, a number of temperatures at remote, equipment locations on board naval ships.

Equipment classification shall be of following format, as specified (see 6.2.1 and 6.4):

The equipment shall be designated by the 3 letter symbols as follows:

IC/A - Continuous, simultaneous monitoring of remote temperature sensors, for alarm and also manual selective temperature readout. IC/I - Manual selective temperature readout for measuring temperatures at several remote locations. IC/S - Continuous, sequential scanning of remote temperature sensors for indication and alarm.

The alarm technique shall be designated by a single number as follows:

1. Alarm on temperature above the set level or (exclusive or) below the set level as operator selected.

2. No alarm provision - temperature readout only.

The temperature sensing technique shall be designated by 3 letter symbols as follows:

RTE - Resistance temperature element, platinum. TCE - Thermocouple temperature element, type K.

The number of channels, corresponding to the number of remote sensors that monitored shall be designated by its numerical value. Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: Commander, Naval Ship Engineering Center, SEC 6124, Department of the Navy, Washington, DC 20362 by using the self-addressed Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.
