Product Description
Danfoss EKS 111 Temperature Sensor PTC 1000 6 m (084N1180 / 084N1173)
Danfoss EKS 111 is a temperature sensor with a PTC 1000 ohm/25°C element designed to work with EKC series controllers — primarily EKC 202, AK-CC 210 and EKC 301. The 6 m cable version is intended for installations where the sensor must be located away from the control cabinet or panel — without the need for extension cables.
Key features and benefits
- PTC 1000 ohm at 25°C element — resistance increases with temperature, resistant to short circuits, safe and reliable for everyday refrigeration equipment operation.
- 6 m cable — installation comfort without extensions — the long cable eliminates the need for splicing or crimping connectors on site, reducing installation time and the risk of wiring errors.
- Wide measurement range -55…+100°C — covers the full spectrum of refrigeration and freezing installation temperatures, from deep freezing to air conditioning applications.
- IP67 protection rating — dust-tight and resistant to temporary immersion, ensuring reliability in humid cold room environments and during equipment washdown.
- AISI 304 stainless steel sensor pocket — corrosion-resistant and durable in demanding industrial conditions.
- AMP plug option — for the plug version (084N1177) quick tool-free connection is possible, shortening service time.
Important: Due to the relatively large resistance tolerance of the PTC element, the EKS 111 sensor is not suitable for temperature monitoring and recording (HACCP) or for overheating control. For those applications, use a Pt1000 sensor (e.g. AKS 12).

Manufacturer documentation:
The EKS 111 sensor is compatible with Danfoss controllers supporting PTC 1000 input: EKC 202, AK-CC 210, EKC 301. Before installation, make sure the controller is configured for a PTC 1000 sensor. The sensor is not intended for HACCP temperature recording or overheating measurement.
FAQ — Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the 6 m and 3.5 m versions of the EKS 111 sensor?
The only difference is cable length — 6 m instead of 3.5 m. The sensor element specification, temperature range, protection rating, and controller compatibility are identical. The 6 m version is intended for installations where the controller is farther from the measurement location.
Which Danfoss controllers is the EKS 111 compatible with?
The EKS 111 sensor is intended for EKC 202, AK-CC 210 and EKC 301 controllers, provided the measurement tolerance is acceptable for the given application.
What is the difference between EKS 111 and the AKS 12 Pt1000 sensor?
EKS 111 uses a PTC element (1000 ohm at 25°C) with higher resistance tolerance. Therefore it is not suitable for precise HACCP monitoring or overheating control. For those uses, a Pt1000 sensor such as the AKS 12 is required.
What is the protection rating of the EKS 111 sensor?
The sensor has an IP67 rating — dust-tight and resistant to temporary immersion in water.
Is the 6 m version available with an AMP plug?
Yes. The 6 m version with an AMP plug is available under 084N1177 / 084N1171. The AMP ital mod 2 plug enables quick connection without soldering.
