KMC Sensors and Thermostats
KMC Controls manufactures a variety of pneumatic, analog electronic, and digital sensors and thermostats. Some sense only one variable (e.g., temperature), while others sense multiple variables (e.g., humidity and CO2). “Sensors” are used in diverse HVAC and Building Automation System (BAS) applications and are closely related to several other types of devices:
- Sensors measure a physical characteristic of an environment and provide a signal corresponding to those properties. Sensors may be stand-alone or integrated within a control device (e.g., a thermostat).
- Transmitters are also sensors, but take a relatively small (and passive) sensor signal (e.g., the resistance of a thermistor in response to a temperature) and convert it into an active voltage (e.g., 0–5 VDC) or active current (e.g., 4–20 mA). Boosting the signal allows greater distance between the sensor and the controller.
- Transducers convert one kind of energy into another. The physics may be different, but they can function as sensors. In building automation, transducers may convert pressure into voltage or current (or vice versa) or voltage signals into current signals (or vice versa).
- In HVAC and BAS applications, many sensors, transmitters, and transducers perform essentially the same function, sensing a physical characteristic and providing a signal to an external control device. Thermostats, on the other hand, contain a sensor integrated with a control device. Thermostat technology ranges from simple bimetallic switches to sophisticated digital devices.

Miscellaneous
For convenience in installing a complete BAS, KMC Controls sells to our customers a large variety of Veris data servers, current transformers, monitors, meters, sensors, and accessories. For full Veris product descriptions and specifications, go to Veris.com and enter the part number in the Search field at the top of the page. See also the Veris catalog.
Digital/Electronic Handling Precautions
For digital and electronic sensors, thermostats, and controllers, take reasonable precautions to prevent electrostatic discharges to the devices when installing, servicing, or operating them. Discharge accumulated static electricity by touching one’s hand to a securely grounded object before working with each device.
