Thermowell Sensor Specifications
Part Numbers
LBI0-xT04 – 4″ probe, LBI0-xT05 – 6″ probe, LBI0-xT06 – 12″ probe. x=number of thermowells.
Thermowell Specification
- Probe
- PT100, 3 wire, Class A w[0.15 +0.002 |t|] °C
- Sensing Range: -50 to 300°C, (-58 to 572°F)
- Response Time: 7 seconds, 63% of a 25 to 77°C step change (ASTM E1137)
- RTD element encased in alumina powder insulation provides excellent vibration dampening and heat transfer
- Stainless steel probe
- Connection Head
- Cast aluminum NEMA 4X, IP66 screw cover head with captive gasket
- One turn cover removal & installation eliminates cross threading and saves time
- 3/4 NPT conduit opening with internal stop to prevent over- tightening and installation damage
- Gripping ribs on cover edge
- Stainless steel cover chain
- Wiring
- Ceramic terminal base
- Brass terminals with stainless steel screws eliminate the need to wrap connections around screws
- Elevated terminal block for easy wire termination
The Leap wireless sensor electronics can be integrated with a wide range of PT100 3-wire thermowells.

Leap Wireless Sensor Transceiver Node Specifications
- Transmission distance to gateway: typically 1500 feet in open air. Several hundred feet in an industrial environment.
- Battery
- Rugged sensor enclosure
- IP68 enclosure rated to 120C. Panel connectors and glands rated to IP68. Power switch with LEDs rated to IP66.
- Rugged polycarbonate composite enclosure. UL 94 V0 rated, flame-resistant and self-extinguishing.
- 4.4 x 3.2 x 3.4 in (113 x 80 x 90 mm), not including optional mounting feet.
- Mounting options
- See all enclosure mounting options.
- Optional mounting feet may be installed horizontally or vertically.
- Enclosure may also be mounted with screws directly to surface.
- Magnetic mount option.
- Cable connection options
- Standard: Metal IP68 cable glands seal cables to the enclosure. Industrial spring terminal blocks connect the cable to sensor board.
- Optional: M8 or M5 panel connector and cable: Molded M8 or M5 cable connects panel connector to sensor.
- Cable length may be shortened in the field if desired.
- More information here.
- Industrial power switch: Latching push button. IP66 rated.
- Bi-color LEDs integrated into the power switch blink to provide user feedback on sensor functions.
- Long-range antenna inside the enclosure: Keeps the total footprint small and prevents damage to the antenna.
- High operating temperature: Standard sensor -40C to 85C (-40F to 185F).
- High operating temperature option available: -40C to 125C* (-40F to 260F). Unique to Leap Sensors.
- 2-way communication with the sensor through the user interface:
- Name the sensor, set sensor sampling time interval, set wireless transmit time interval, over-the-air firmware updates.
- Gateways send an acknowledgement to the sensor that the data was received for high reliability.
- Sensor data logging: When sensors do not receive an acknowledgement from the gateway that the radio transmission was received, the sensor will store the time-stamped data on-board (up to 10,000 readings) until the gateway connection is established.
- Reliable industrial over-the-air radio communication
- Industry-standard 802.15.4 with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS).
- Gateway “handshake” acknowledgement of successful transmission and sensor data logging for extra reliability.
- Over-the-air protocol: Standard and established 6LoPan and Thread.
- Data security: “gold standard” internet security with AES encryption.
- FCC certified.
Leap Wireless Sensors Gateway (Receiver) and User Interface Software
- See the Leap Sensors gateway page and the Leap Sensors User Interface options page for more detailed information.
- Leap Sensors wirelessly transmit data to a gateway*.
- Gateway can support over 250 sensors that are in range. (Additional gateways can extend sensor coverage.)
- The gateway then passes the data to the Leap user interface software. The user interface software may be hosted on the gateway (and connected to a PC with a USB cable), on the password-protected Leap Sensors Cloud web site, or an on-site server.
- User interface supports: logging-in, set user rights, view sensor data, set email and text alerts (cloud version), graph sensor data, download data to excel, add or subtract sensors, update firmware, and other functions.
*Custom-ordered leap sensors are available with a direct-to-cellular option where no gateway is needed and the data is sent directly to a cloud server. Contact us for more information.
This wireless sensor is ideal for monitoring:
- Tank temperatures
- Flowing liquid temperatures
Patents pending.
